Can't access Control Panel

[ar-K-ic]

New to VBulletin, love the program everything has been easy and trouble free till now...

When I try and login to Controll Panel I get the message:

"Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/artifkev/public_html/forum/global.php(355) : eval()'d code
Line: 72:"

is this a temp problem or do I have some issues??? Please advise!!!

Sounds like a problem with a modification. Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Lynne, thanks for the reponse but we can even login to the admin panel to make any changes. We get that error message when we try to login through our admin users.
Any suggestions?

go into your config.php file under includes in your file system and add the disable lynne posted.

you need to login to your server and go into your file system, edit the config.php

[hernandoman]

Thanks Lynne and Medtech. Will give that a try. Question? Do you think this could be something that was altered on our server without our knowledge?

[Medtech]

no, it is an incompatable modification

I had this exact same problem a while back. Nothing worked but going into server and deleting all the mods manually. After I did that, I was able to log in fine.

I'm a tech knob so forgive me if I've suggested incorrectly but I feel for you.

Can it also be a template problem?

I don't think it's a template problem since it is a hook on line 355 causing the problem.

hernandoman, the instructions I gave you do not require you to login to your admin cp. They just require you to edit a file first and upload it to your site via ftp.

[hernandoman]

Lynne and everyone, I have copied your instructions to the webmaster that hosts our site. Evidently the server access we have will not allow us to edit config.php.

This is a vbulletin file we are talking about. Are you saying you have no access to your vbulletin files on the server?!? How did you install the site?

[hernandoman]

We got it uploaded and the fix worked - everything is working just fine now!

Lynne, thanks SOOOOO much for your help and the help of the other respondents to this thread. If you are ever in S.W. Georgia, I will be more than happy to buy your dinner ! We REALLY appreciate it !
