Can't log into ACP

[Mike Sullivan]

Be warned, that if you run both vb2 and vb3 on the same domain, that the cookie with the greatest scope will override the cookie with the limited scope. Therefore, if your vb2 settings have a cookiepath of "/", vb3 will try to log you in with a vb2 cookie and fail.

Are you sure it doesn't work the other way around? That would seem more logical...

I ran the fix_login.php and I get this message, does that mean there is something wrong with my database, or what?

Hmm... nothing is working, I'm damn stumped. Can no one help? If a mod/developer PM's me, I can even provide admin CP, and phpMyAdmin access. I just want to get my board working again...

The error is accesible at http://talk.cabletvinfo.com/talk/includes/init.php ... when I view source it doesn't give me any information. I would be more then happy to give you the admin password and username if you would like to take a look

Is this a clean install? If so, I'd recommend reinstalling -- you seem to be missing at least the datastore table which is pretty important.

At the risk of sounding stupid, I must ask:

How do I change cookie paths? I've never done it before because I never had the need to, so I have no idea how to change cookie paths.

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options

Thanks Kier! I just purchased vb3 installed it and went back to the Admin panel and got the repeating loop. Ran your fix and it works great!

You know, I'm not sure. I believed that was what I was experiencing, but I can't find anything in the RFC that seems to suggest any sort of order: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2965

I made a pretty big mistake in my last post. I've gone back and edited it. The last slash is a no-no.

Steve.... how can I change the cookie paths in the Admin CP when I can't even access the admin cp?

This is an upgrade ... I have no idea why I would be missing the datastore table, it was there when I was using vB 2.3 and I didn't delete anything.

Then you'll need to do this manually with phpMyAdmin:

Run this query:

SELECT * FROM template WHERE title='options'

Locate the appropriate variable in this format:

$varname = 'value';

Change the appropriate setting, then also make the same change to your setting table.

I get an error message when I run that query:

SQL-query :

SELECT * FROM template WHERE title='options' LIMIT 0, 30

MySQL said:


Table 'ProjectGaming.template' doesn't exist

[Steve Machol]

Sorry, that query was meant for vB2. Not sure what the equivalent query is for vB3.
