Can't login admin after new install

mrmike987 · December 13th, 2005, 08:19 PM

Installed vBulletin in / forum no problem
Installed Photopost in /gallery

Ran the install as instructed for PP. I can login vBulletin admin fine but I can't login Photopost admin. When I first tried it said I was logged in and it put me on the front page and logged me out. Everytime since it tells me
im using the wrong uname and pass.

Hello? Help anyone>?

Sounds like you have not properly entered the vbulletin cookie prefix in your cookie settings of the gallery so it is asking you to login.

If you relog in check your cookie settings and set bb in the cookie prefix. Double check your vbulletin config file to be sure as thats where the cookie prefix is but by default it is bb.

mrmike987 · December 14th, 2005, 11:26 AM

$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'bb';

I can't login the gallery. Where is this info stored?

Chuck S · December 14th, 2005, 11:37 AM

I would suggest two things.

1. view your config-inc.php file and make sure the correct vbulletin license number is entered from their config file

2. View with phpmyadmin view settings 171-173 in the settings table and set to match cookie settings of vbulletin. Most likely as Zach stated your cookies are not set correctly. You would either need to do this or reinstall with the correct info if your not familiar with phpmyadmin

ok did all that and now says Login Successful! but then just puts me on the front page..

Chuck S · December 14th, 2005, 08:11 PM

mrmike987 · December 14th, 2005, 08:45 PM

Chuck S · December 14th, 2005, 09:57 PM

Your forum cookie path is set to this

/forum/ needs to be this /

mrmike987 · December 15th, 2005, 12:06 AM

Did that and now I get You are not a valid administrator or moderator!

Garrynz · December 15th, 2005, 08:28 AM

Could it be a bug Chuck? 5.2 to 5.21 and now a small login problem

Chuck S · December 15th, 2005, 10:28 AM

Nope I responded to your thread

Bitbender · December 15th, 2005, 04:33 PM

Perfect. Thank you gentlemen. This fixed my problem!

Most don't see that "bb" setting in the middle of vbulletin35/forums/includes/config.php !!

I know I missed it. so, THANKS!

mrmike987 · December 15th, 2005, 04:59 PM

So no one knows whats wrong?

Chuck S · December 15th, 2005, 05:46 PM

I beleive it was answered above in the 3rd post about your prefix.

Your cookie prefix is not set correctly.

You can view the config.php of vbulletin and see what its set to by default it is bb

I stated the issue that your forum cookie path was not right

Now you can use phpmyadmin like I explained in post 5 to set this if this is post install or you can reinstall and enter the correct cookie prefix if you are not familiar with phpmyadmin.

mrmike987 · December 15th, 2005, 06:13 PM

I think you missed my post. I change the settings to match.

VB is cookie path is /
VB cookie domain is .mrmike987.com
VB cookieprefix is bb
------
PP is cookie path is /
PP cookie domain is .mrmike987.com
PP cookieprefix is bb
------
I get: You are not a valid administrator or moderator!

Right cause we posted at the same time but as I stated above that was answered in post 2 by Zach

Your cookie prefix is not right

mrmike987 · December 15th, 2005, 06:22 PM

I was told to make it bb is that wrong? How come you just dont post the correct settings?
Like------------
VB is cookie path is /
VB cookie domain is .yourdomain.com
VB cookieprefix is ??
------
PP is cookie path is /
PP cookie domain is .yourdomaincom
PP cookieprefix is ??

Chuck S · December 15th, 2005, 06:57 PM

Well you would need to check your vbulletin config.php file in the included directory to ensure it is set to this.

You can also check to see at the top of the config file as well for vbulletin is your license number make sure the photopost config-inc.php file has the correct license number

mrmike987 · December 15th, 2005, 07:22 PM

Once again here are my settings

VB cookie path is /
VB cookie domain is .mrmike987.com
VB cookieprefix is bb
------
PP cookie path is /
PP cookie domain is .mrmike987.com
PP cookieprefix is bb

The lic# is correct I got it directly from vbulitens index.php line 4
