vB Beta 7 Cookie Problem.

[Jadelit]

I upgraded to vb3 BETA7 3 days ago and since then I have been getting logout problems.

Anyone have any ideas?

Did you try manually deleting your cookies?

[Jadelit]

of course I did... It is happening to all of the users on my forum.. cookies are enabled.

[Steve Machol]

In the future you might want to include all the relevant information. This will help us troubleshoot the problem.

There is nothing in the standard upgrade process that would cause this. Perhaps you could explain exactly what you did during this upgrade, including the version you upgraded from, and any other changes you made.

have you cleared your cookies, and closed all instances of your browser. depending on the os it may even require a restart

[Jadelit]

Hum... ok.



Server:

Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.27

MySQL 4.0.15

PHP 4.3.1



Upgraded from vBulletin Beta 6 to Beta 7



My users and I have never encountered this problem where you have to login basically each time you view a thread or close your browser and return back to the forum. I have done all of the basics with the cache and cookie process after an upgrade, but it just won't hold a cookie.



I have restored vBulletin settings to default and the problem still persists. To go one step further I set up my localhost again and did a fresh install of Beta 7 and created a single new thread and then closed my browser. Once again, when I returned I was logged out.



Localhost:

WindowsXP

Apache 2.0.47

MySQL 4.0.16

PHP 4.3.3

vBulletin Beta 7

what are your cookie settings at?


did you close ALL instances of the browser? not just the one window?

[Jadelit]

Cookies are set at default and yes I closed all of my browser windows.

[Steve Machol]

What is your default exactly? AFAIK if you made no changes in the cookie settings and you have manually deleted your cookies, this should have taken care of the problem.

[Jadelit]

Time-Out for Cookie: 900
Path to Save Cookies: /
Cookie Domain: blank
GZIP HTML Output: YES
GZIP Compression Level: 1
Add Standard HTTP Headers: NO
Add No-Cache HTTP Headers: YES
Remove Redirection Message Pages: YES

I also used IE and Mozilla to see if it was the browser.. It's not.

[Jadelit]

Heh whats funny is that this forum stays logged in even when I close my browser.

[Zachery]

would it be possible for us to have a link to your forums?

Lots of cookies problems going aorund with this release. Wish someone would look into this.

[Zachery]

acutally ive not had a problem with cookies since beta 3 and thats because i was working on dev forums and vb2 forums on the same site.

if you just upgraded you are going to have some cookie problems
