Log me on automatically each visit, don't work

Nope, it just logged me out upon refreshing again.

My cookie settings are:

Domain: aotplaza.hostagig.com
Name: phpbb3_lzymh
Path: \

You may continue to have problems due to having two different domains (you originally had aotplaza.elementfx.com before I clicked to reply) or it may be due to the path slash going the wrong direction.

I am having the same problem but I am using shortnames instead of fqdn since this is an internal forum. my forum is http://helpdesk/phpbb and my cookie domain is helpdesk. I read above that there needs to be 2 dots, like .example.com and I don't see how this will work with shortnames. I have tried changing settings, clearing cache, different browser, different computer, and it happens regardless. everytime I close the browser it logs me off.

I am having the same problem, exact same situation. Not using the fqdn (.domain.com) because it is to be used internally. See earlier post It would be nice to have an option to not use the FQDN for automatic login/cookies.

It going to be more than that. People who do not have any of those specific setting issues have the same problem.

To make phpBB work right on that URL, you'll probably need to make a small code change in /includes/session.php

In the set_cookie function, there is a check to see if the domain name is "localhost". Simply change "localhost" to "helpdesk" and see if that helps you

Hi Guys,

I have just managed to get the Automatic Login to work

In phpBB 3.0 under Server Configuration > Security settings > " Session IP validation "

Set this to "none"

Does it work now ?

I don't know if I want to try that because I'm afraid it might screw up something else on the board.

I tried it. It doesn't work for me. I made the change last weekend. Today I logged into the board, quit Safari (without logging out), started it back up, went back to the board, and it still wanted me to log in again.

Didn't work for me either...

I just tried with Firefox and it doesn't keep me logged in either (e.g. go to board in a browser, login (checking the automatic login option), quit browser, launch browser, go to board... damn, must login again). What browser/OS combinations does it actually work in? It's never worked for me in version 3, though it used to work in phpBB2. How do we submit a bug report or is there already one in? I'd like this feature to be functional for all my visitors.

I actually need to edit my post. I noticed I had a typo in the cookie domain so after fixing that it worked. So having the cookie domain setup right and disabling IP Validation worked for me on FireFox 2.0.0.11 and IE 7.

Is there any solution??? It's really annoying to have to log in every time.
