FilmBuffRich Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hi folks, newbie here with a phpBB question... I've just added a phpBB bulletin board to my site through the cPanel. While testing it, I've noticed that when trying to log in, the first attempt doesn't show the UserID as logged in the upper right of the screen, but a second attempt at logging in works. (I've found that if you use the "Remember Me" option, it log ins correctlt right when you go to the boards) My entirely un-educated quess leads me to think that it might be a cookies issue. On the cookies setting on the phpBB General Configuration panel the "Cookies Secure" setting is "disabled" and I haven't put anything in either the Cookie domain or cookie path fields. Any thoughts? Thanks, Rich Quote

FilmBuffRich Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks Don! I knew it had to be so simple that only a simpleton like me couldn't figure it out! For the domain do I need the full "http://" orcan just use "www.filmbuffonline.com"? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hey Rich, Welcome to the forums. Let us know how you make out with it. Quote
FilmBuffRich Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 Wow! Thanks for the "Gang Welcome!" So I enabled cookies last night, but didn't specify a path. (I didn't think about asking about that until after I had enabled the cookies and then posted my follow up question to Don) Now, as I'm trying to Log in and goto the admin controls, I got a security certificate warning and then a HTTP 404 - File not found error. Have I royally screwed something up? Quote
