Cookie problem I believe

avalanche21 · New Member Joined: Mar 10, 2008 Posts: 7

I am not able to make it so users can post in the forums or pm.

I have a domain name forwarded to my local server. If I set the domain for the cookies to the domain name no one is able to post. If I set it to my local domain ie. 192..... it works for me here locally. In either setting, users are able to log into the site.

In my old site here, I had a stand-alone PHPBB3 forum running without issues. The cookie settings for that were having the domain name set to the local 192.....

I am completely new to all of this. Is there something I need to do or change. All everyone is getting is "invalid session" when they try to post anything or make any changes.

I am using an Evolution theme now, but I have tried the fisubice also.

Also, on a side note, with the Evolution theme, I am losing the rest of the copyright info and I'm not getting much support for the makers. Is there a way to manipulate it to show.

Thank you for your help.

I've already read that topic many times and tried changing the cookies. Thanks though.

I tried that configuration also. Still no luck.

Code:

Finally got a buddy to send me the errors. I don't see them locally. He gets the same error no matter what configuration I set the domain name and cookie domain to. I'm stuck.

Hmm not sure what it causing the error, but you shouldn't be using XAMPP for hosting a live website. I believe even Apache Friends even state that it should only be used for local testing. I'm guessing XAMPP isn't setup to work the way you are using it.

avalanche21, this might actually be a different problem? Not sure. See this FAQ on the site here:

I was hopeful when I read the FAQ...but, both my php.ini's were already set correctly. I tried adding that line of code and that didn't work either. Thanks for the direction though. For the mean time I have just disabled the forums and private messaging and linked to my PHPBB3 forums until I figure it out.

I would still like some input, if any is available, about the rest of the copyright info that's missing. I still haven't gotten a reply from the theme provider. The site is

if you would like to see the footer.

Also, as far as using XAMPP, this site is just a learning project for me. I enjoy learning new things. Html was last month, PHP is this month;) XAMPP was just real simple to use. Is there another free bundle out there that is just as simple to intall that is better?
