Un-Successful Login
Can anyone help, I have put the forum onto my host here http://forum.planet-shareware.com - http://forum.planet-shareware.com and set all file permissions and can create accounts but then when I goto log in I get the above message. I have tried on IE6 SP1, Mozilla Fire-Fox, Netscape 7.2 and Mozilla std, all the same issue. A friend whom lives 7 miles away also tried with all the above browsers and same issue. What could this be? I have moved the database to a host alicated database folder and updated the common files and still it wont work, please help |

It looks like from my cookie cache the site is setting cookies but just not for the login. Try re uploading the files incase this is coursed by a corrupted file. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| I got the same problem. Everything worked when I uploaded the files and set things up, but having deleted my cookies, set IE6 to allow all cookies, I still cannot log in at all, even as administrator. |

I did get around it by using session cookies instead of normal cookies but it was not an ideal solution server side or user side so I put the forum to the back of my site where few venture.
Its a good forum, but the security is to tight, not every one needs or wants this level of security, maybe a lite version will be made some day. Less secure but fully working on more hosts.

there should be no problem on many hosts, session cookies, usual cookies are internet standards, it maybe a problem with your host. there is nothing wrong with this forums creation. also lowering security is a very dangerous thing to do |

True. We use the forum on another site with great success.
I eventually got back on line by re-uploading the files again, which deleted all the forums. Luckily they were all new and had no input.
I discovered that if you test the forum with more than one or perhaps two usernames from the same computer, you cannot log in. This is because a cookie is dropped on to your machine for each username.
Deleting all the cookies does no good, because the admin cookie gets deleted. Don't know the real solution for this.
Does anyone else?

Sounds like an issue with your web browser storing cookies. There should be no problem with logging in as one user, then logging out, and logging back in again as another user. However, you can not log in as two different users at the same time. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Something that seemed to help me when I have had cookie problems with
IE is to shut down the browser and terminate the session between
registration and authentication. - e.g.

That is where the problem lies I think. If I remember properly, I logged in as 2 or users without logging ou from the first one. Good point to remember for the future.
Many thanks
