Admin Access denied

[WildRover]

I had www.6r4.info parked on another url with a remote database.

I have now started afresh with ww.6r4.info being the only url for the site.

Vbulletin works with the database - I can log in.

However, I cannot login into the Admin section. Install.php is deleted.

Can anyone help www.6r4.info/forum

What happens exactly when you try to login?

Try this. Upload the tools.php script in the 'do_not_upload' folder of the vB zip file to your Admin CP directory and run it from your browser. Use this to reset the cookie domain and path back to the defaults. And then leave your cookie domain and path at the default settings. There is no reason to change these. If you need to specify a unique cookie, use the cookie prefix setting in config.php instead.

Nothing happens at all now.


Bounces straight out.

First, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file.

Next, disable all plugins.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Steve - very grateful for your help.

The tools cookie domain clearance fixed it.
