PHPBB and Photopost Cookies

dmccuiston · November 13th, 2005, 09:54 AM

Hello,
I recently set my cookie settings for PHPHBB and Photopost. After searching the forums, I realized they were set incorrectly. I went back into the phpbb admin and set:

.mydomain.com (not displaying my domain in this thread)
.phpbb2mysql
/

I cannot login to Photopost at all

Two questions:
1. How do I "unfixi" the cookie settings in Photopost noe that I cannot login or ge to the admin screen?
2. If I set the cookie settings in phpbb and photopost to the above settings, will the "single-signon" feature work?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Ok, I went into PHPmyAdmin and set the following settings in the pp_settings table:

setting 171 - PhotoPost Cookie path - /
setting 172 - Forum Cookie Prefix - .phpbb2mysql
setting 173 - PhotoPost Cookie Domain - .mydomain.com (again, not displaying my domain in this thread unless needed)

After setting these, I am still not able to login to Photopost at all. I get the login successful screen , but then circle back to the index page with the login link a t the top.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

.mydomain.com (not displaying my domain in this thread)
.phpbb2mysql
/

This would be correct and both apps should be set this way
I guess you need to post a link here so we can see what the issue is

If your domain is the same for the forum and photopost and cookie settings are set above you should be logged in

well I would suggest two things here if this was an upgrade

1 make sure you upload the latest phpbb2.php file

2 make the cookie prefix phpbb2mysql no period in front of it

Your install is not recognizing no cookies that you are setting which makes me more lean towards you upgraded your photopost and did not upload the new phpbb2.php file

Removing the dot did the trick. Thank you again for the amazing support
