Not sure, failure to backup I guess! x_x But this is three clean installs now, every time it hasn't worked. I can't understand what's wrong, it's setup alright, and I can't see how it can be the host that's effecting it 'cos cookies are fine on that PunBB forum hosted on there ;(

Minisweeper

Have you got any other domains on the host yourself?

blizeH

I can sort something out yeah, should I create a new forum or just try and link to the existing database or...?

Minisweeper

I'd just try a whole new one and see what happens.

http://www.zestdesign.net/casino/index.php Username: Testing Password: testing123 Not keeping me logged in even there :( Cookie domain: www.zestdesign.net Cookie path: /casino/

Minisweeper

Is the punBB forum hosted on the same server? Just because it's the same hosting company doesnt necessarily mean it will be.. You could try asking the host for an example of where on the same server they have a site effectively using cookies?

blizeH

Just as an extra test, I set up a forum on: http://forum.respectlife.org.uk/casino/index.php Which isn't working either. Either Vanilla hates the hosting or the hosting hates Vanilla!

Minisweeper

Perhas both...could you try another subdomain on respectlife.org?

blizeH

Will try it now

blizeH

http://casino.respectlife.org.uk/index.php Still nothing; same username and password as before on the offchance anyone wants to check it. Is there anyway at all of maybe tracking the cookies to find out why it's not working?

blizeH

Sorry to be such a pain about this, here's a screenshot of the cookies according to some firefox extension I just installed:



And then in comparison to the PunBB cookie that actually works:

Minisweeper

Try comparing those 2 lussumo cookies to the ones for this forum. They look alright to me.

Maybe its related to this? can't get cookies to store properly # 10

You are on IIS 5... the fix might be rather complicated... cant seem to find one posted anywhere...

blizeH

Damn! Sounds about right, I'm going to try and get him to switch from Windows hosting sometime as I don't even think there's any ASP stuff on there at all anyway!

Thanks WallPhone

Possible fix--edit library/People/People.Control.SignInForm.php, comment out the header('location: '.$this->ReturnUrl); line, and replace it with echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url='. $this->ReturnUrl .'"&gt';

Basically redirects at the HTML level instead of the header level. dunno if it will work.

blizeH

Jesus, fair play sir you are a legend; I'd of never guessed in a million years that particular line of code could of effected something like this!

Huge thanks to yourself and Mini for your continued help and support, really appreciate it, thanks guys!

Minisweeper

Excellent work Wallphone! Must remember that one...
