 Topic: Users frequently logged out
Posted: 08 January 2010 at 1:44pm |

After upgrading to 9.65 some users are getting logged out every 1-20 minutes. Choosing "Yes" or "No" to the question "Keep me Logged-in on this computer" at login makes no difference. Deleting cookies doesn't seem to help, and as far as I can see in the database everything looks OK. Any ideas about what could be wrong, and why this happens only to some the users?

Try editing the file includes/setup_options_inc.asp and change it so that the path is included in the cookie and not just set to website route.

Thanks, that explains a lot. Before upgrading the cookie path was "/forum/", after upgrading it is "/".
I suppose that means that the webbrowser keeps using the wrong set of cookies and when the UID doesn't match the usercode in the database, the user gets logged out?

That can happen with some browsers.

I am having the same problem. What exacly should I enter for the cookie path. And do I need to delete the ' in front of the statement?

Try setting the cookie path to the root of your website by uncommenting (remove the quote mark) from in front of:-
'strCookiePath = "/"
Then comment the lin below:-
'strCookiePath = LCase(Left(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_URL"), InstrRev(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_URL"), "/")))

Also note that if your cookiepath was for example "/forum/" before, changing it to "/" will not fix the problem. The user will still have the old "/forum/"-cookie hanging around for another year. If your forum is on www.domain.com/forum/ the browser will use "/forum/"-cookie instead of the more generic "/"-cookie.

Well, before I read your reply, I was troubleshooting it on my own. I remembered reading something about lower case being a problem, (I have IE8), so I deleted the LCase from the line of code. That seems to have solved the problem...
