I installed the webwiz forum on my personal server ( http://spinoza/index.asp - http://spinoza/index.asp ). When people try to register in the forum, they cannot see the registration code because of a problem with cookies. It says that cookies need to be enabled. They are enabled but I think it is a problem with my server... is there any way to get around this? HELP! |

You need to connect directly, things like URL masking, IP masking, etc. prevent cookies from working. Do a search this has been discussed probally more than any other subject. ------------- 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 is okay, until i try logging in, then it says Your login was un-successful due to a cookie problem. But when i'm running it at brinkster, then i don't have a problem, so it's not the IE settings, but somewhere in the personal server. I'll let you know when i know more.

if you run your forum inside a frame that COULD make problems.. if you run your forum through something like a .tk (IP masking) you will get problems |

| After uploading it into the wwwroot folder it works. Then why can you add anything outside the wwwroot folder if it anyways doesn;t work? silly stuff. |

The site won't refresh automatically either... it requires the user to re-send the information first. I set up PWS on a Win98 OS. I'm entirely new to .asp -- the forum is installed directly on a network node at my high school. I'm the system administrator. How can I tell whether URL/IP masking is taking place? Could any of this affect the forum? |

PWS is a personal web server so is hard coded to only allow 10
connections this means that only one person can connect to the site at
a time. To be able to run a web site on the Internet you really need to have a full blown web server, for this you need to have a server OS like Win2k Server or Windows 2003 server. Even Win2k workstation and Win XP Pro only come with personal versions of IIS and so can't used as full blown web servers. ------------- 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 understand. Thank you for your help folks. This is one of the most efficiently run and used forums I have encountered. I'm glad to be a member. I think I'll quit fooling about and buy a Brinkster account. Best Wishes |
