Php Bb Issue - Page Cannot Be Found

[dpkyte]

I am getting a page issue when trying to log in to my Bulletin Board. The URL file is login.php?sid=428.....

I then hit the browser back button and refresh and indeed I am logged in. I then go to the administration page and it brings me to admin/index.php?sid=123.... PAGE not found here either.

 

Not sure what is wrong here. I looked on the server and the files are in fact there.

 

I see someone else had this issue in July of 05 but the answer was regarding another issue they had.

 

I rebuilt everything to no avail.

 

Any help here is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Are you trying to use the IP address before the domain name has propagated ?

Hello

 

With phpBB and accessing the admin panel, you will need to login twice. One problem could be cookies, so you need to do the cookie dance. First off, logout of phpBB. Second, close your browser. Thirdly, open up your cookie folder and delete every cookie there, reopen your broswer and goto the page and try and login again.

 

Let us know how you get on.

I deleted all cookies and internet files via the Browser option. This still did not seem to work.

 

I rebuilt the BB and that did not do it either. I sent an "ticket" but that is not an option.

 

The original issue they said was that it had to do with the domain name. They are Not pointing to the TH name servers, they do not want to loose controll over the URL address. So, I put it under a domain I registered with TCH. I then try to go directly into it from my domain name, I can view but still get the PAGE NOT FOUND error message.

 

The top URL references the login.php file but looking @ my files on the server I do in fact see it. So, something else is missing here, just NOT sure what it is.

 

It in fact worked on Saturday, So I told the user to go ahead and make their respective changes and today (Sunday) I received an E-mail saying they still get the error message. I checked and sure enough the issue is there again.

 

I cannot be the only one who had this issue.

 

Thanks,

I think I found the issue..

 

I rebuilt the site, then when I went under the GENERAL Admin, I noticed the Domain name. Since I do not own the site, the administrator on their end may have change it to their actualy url address (which is not TCH).

 

I instructed to NOT change this, hopefully that does the trick..

 

Thanks,
