Hi everybody,

Been looking through all these Cookie settings etc. and realised that I have the same problem!

I have checked my settings and cannot find anything actually wrong with them?

Please could somebody check these, see if I missed something...

Cookie settings
Cookie domain: .rallyuk.org.uk
Cookie name: phpbb3_t7sl1
Cookie path: /
Cookie secure: Disabled

Cheers

I am having this problem with some users on my site, myself included. Very frustrating. Works for some users.

Have tried dumping cookies. No new ones being installed.

Works on Safari but not on Firefox for me.

cookie domain: .lakawa.com
Cookie name: lakawa
cookie path: /
secure: Disabled.

Please help.

@windancer: try setting the path as /phpBB

@Ģermans and ccessex: I noticed both of you using a portal. Does this problem occur when logging in from the standard login boxes? Or only occurs when logging in from the portal? Cookies look fine for you two, although ccessex may want to set the board path as /forum.

Darcie, thanks so much for the reply.

Unfortunately the problem still persists. Works like a charm in Safari, but not with Firefox (as well as quite a few other users posting issues). There are no cookies listed either.

any other ideas?

There is another folder in the root labeled: phpBB2 (older version)
would that be causing any issues?

thanks for your thoughts on this

I'm using Firefox and getting a cookie when visiting your site. I see other users with Firefox have said they have no issues with logging in. Can you double check that you are allowing cookies in your browser and do not have them blocked?

thanks again for your attention to this.

Yes Firefox is set to accept cookies. I have dumped them numerous times over the last few days and there are plenty of new ones from other sites ( including this one)

any other ideas?

Ok now today I've got some cookies in Firefox, but still no automatic login.

the cookies are:
lakawa_sid content:2813b393491b99afe5e5a2026fa2ab3c
lakawa_k content:
lakawa_u content: 1

All with the path /phpBB

any assistance would be appreciated. I moderate this forum and it's a pain to always have to log it

Your settings seem correct, especially since not all of the users are having issues. Are you using some kind of web accelerator or Firefox plugin?

no nothing but the standard Firefox.

Problem exists on both machines I have. Both Macs. Does not work on Firefox on both, works on one in Safari. I get emails about this all the time. Problem doesn't seem to be browser specific.

Your help is appreciated. Hope someone can figure it out.

What about when you access the forum without frames? Go directly to http://www.lakawa.com/phpBB/ and see if the problem persists.

THANK YOU THANK YOU Darcie

It did work going directly but I couldn't figure out why. I went to the code to see how I linked to the frame and it just links to /phpbb/index...then I figured it out. I have two domains for the site. Windancing.com and lakawa.com. I had set up my web browser's home page for windancing.com....ooops! Works like a charm in frames when I use lakawa.com.

I can't thank you enough.

thanks
