Why can I not stay logged in?

[Compactman]

I'm having the same problem using foxserv winxp..
I have the cookie name here if that helps
Cookie:[email protected]
I deleted cookies in both opera and IE and it doesn't make a difference so the problem is not browser based...

I also added these lines to my loginout.php

Code Select Expand

   setCookie($cookieusername);
 setCookie($cookieusername,'',time()-3600,"24.150.48.6/php-bin/yabbse/",".24.150.48.6");
 setCookie($cookiepassword);
 setCookie($cookiepassword,'',time()-3600,"24.150.48.6/php-bin/yabbse/",".24.150.48.6");
 setCookie('expiretime','-1',time()-3600,"24.150.48.6/php-bin/yabbse/",".24.150.48.6");

2: Failed to Connect
(C:\FoxServ\www\php-bin\yabbse\Sources\Subs.php ln 323)

It created the account... but I still got that error.

Another possible cause of log in problems, where you log in and then become guest when you change pages, is caused by firewalls. For instance, if you have ZoneAlarm set to block cookies, make sure you add your YABB site to the Privacy Site List and enable persistent cookies.

Yeah Ive done that... I know its the bug in php and apache 2 though because I had 5 other users try and login and they get the very same thing.. I switched to sessions put the / in and still same problems.. turned off firewall, set the cookies changed the code..  

Now I just hope this bug I have gets delt with.. I tried using the new version of php was only like 1 point above the one I had and apparently there is a problem between apache 2 and that new php...

UGH lol..

FYI...  The cookie issue has been resolved, well to a certain point.

If you install ttCMS (http://www.ttcms.com) as the front end, it handles cookies in a different manner and all the problems I have been having over the past few months have resolved.  Thanks Andy!

ttCMS will should be available to the public in about a week.  I've been Bata testing it and I can tell, you...  COOKIE problems have been fixed!  

The ttCMS Project is a great thing... It combines the best BB, YaBB SE with an advanced CMS (Content Management System), ttCMS.  

You can check out my site if you want, www.lowellmi.net (sorry about the layout... I'll get to that  ) or the ttCMS site (Link above).

How is it done with ttCMS? I don't think everyone wants to install it just to fix cookies... although some are pretty desperate.

I think Andy re-wrote the cookies part.  You will have to ask him (AJP).  Whatever he did... all can sign on and remain signed on now.  

Anyway, cookies are fixed through this avenue.

What a nightmare!!

I just upgraded to 1.4.1 and my users can't stay logged in.  What's worse for me is that I cannot access the admin panel because as soon as i touch any link, i'm logged straight back out again.

I've tried pretty much everything in this topic and no good has come out of it - please can someone suggest an answer?

Is there any reason why guests have to have cookies set? Maybe the code should be changed so that cookies are only set if the person is logged in? Could it be that the "guest" cookies are somehow overriding the "logged in" cookies?

I'm having the same problem he is. But after I get logged out, at the bottom of the page, it still has my name as an online user.   I've gone through this whole thread, and none of these fixes have worked for me.

I have 2 boards on seperate sites, both 1.4.1 and the one at http://gameszone.clawz.com/Board works fine but the one at http://wwwgames-station.ionichost.com/Board has this strange cookie/ login problem meaning I cannot access my admin control panel!

Try this, it contains all the fixes in one. Including one that isn't listed here.

I found out something when digging around for what this problem is (as I am stuck with it too   )


island4x4.com   FALSE   /   FALSE   2147299200   YaBBusername    wwwabbit
island4x4.com   FALSE   /   FALSE   2147299200   YaBBpassword   yyLksK4CuQ07M
wwwabbit.com   FALSE   /   FALSE   1066347914   expiretime   1066347914

This is a snapshot of my .lynx_cookie file the island4x4.com cookies are for a Yabb Gold board, and the wwwabbit.com is a cookie for the Yabb SE 1.4.1 board that I am going to throw out the window soon
It seems all it is setting is the expiretime, the yabbuser and password are not getting set Anyone got a clue why?

Did you try the fix posted in the link I gave yet?
