Mysql 5 Compatibility
Ok - I changed the SQL-MODE to the one suggested, and restarted MySQL.

Now if all your cookies setting and license number are correct then you should authenticate.

What is the exact error you get when trying to sign in? Is it one of you can not authenticate?
Unforunately, I get no specific error. When I try to access ADM-INDEX.PHP, I get the login prompt, type in my VB admin credentials, and get redirected to the MISC.PHP, which is then blank.

If so this is what I would suggest checking

1. Make sure in your config-inc.php file the correct user database settings are inputted to connect to vb3 database. Make sure your $vblicense variable is entered as this is very important in the authentication and it will not authenticate without this. This license number can be found at the top of your vb config.php file.
Checked and verified. License information is correct, and user ID/PW for SQL is correct.

2. If the above does not solve the issue then check your settings table to ensure vb3 is what has been entered in your setting 41. The check settings 171-173 for your cookie settings. Both vb and photopost should be set like this

cookie path /

cookie prefix bb ( this is in your vb config file and by default is bb )

cookie domain .domain.com is what I suggest to everyone since your cookies will work across all subdomains this way
Setting 41 was set to VB2, I modified this.

Settings 171-173 also needed to be modified.

I cleared cookies, but still no access. I still receive the redirect to MISC.PHP, and a blank browser window.

Let me know if I should send over my config, SQL extract of the settings, or if you need a test account on my forum/gallery.
