Double log in in PHP BB2

December 28th, 2008

Problem : Users on the website http://diggsamachar.com/adrforum , a phpBB2 based forum are having problems  and they have to login twice before they are allowed to post. Also this means that all topics are marked read when they login for the second time. When they first login their names are at the bottom as logged in but they still have to login again to post.

Any ideas as this is really annoying?

Solution :

The forum was located at http://www.diggsamacgar.com/adrforum. In that case, the Cookie Domain should be “.diggsamachar.com”, and the Cookie Path should be “/adrforum”. If your forum is located in your website’s root, use a single slash as the Cookie Path instead. You may keep the cookie name to phpBB2_forum2, although I think it should not matter, although I have not tried.

You can change these settings in Admin panel » Configuration.

Clear the cookie cache of your browser afterwards and give it a try again
