Major Problem.Need Help ASAP - Idiot #1 - 11-22-2009

My website www.thehelpforums.net is having trouble. Every thing was fine but a little bit ago something happened. I can't login. It says "you have been successfully logged in. You will now be taken back where you came from." It goes back and I am not logged in! What is happening? Also, I manually went to the admin CP and every time I want to a new page I had to log back in. What's going on?



Please help quick. I launch the site tomorrow.

Yeah, it's a cookie issue with your mybb settings and the website.

okay Your right. I forgot to change the cookies when I transferred domains but heres another problem. I can't change the cookie setting. I know how but when i set it right And click save I have to login in and the cookie goes back to it's problem state.

You will have to edit the settings.php (inc/settings.php) and find the cookie settings, and save it that way.

I am pretty sure it's the settings.php

MyBB Support forums have a guide on this: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-42123.html

Make sure you go and save the settings in the ACP too, very important you do that.
