Possible Cookie Issue

[Rhavan]

I've had my site, Project Animus up for roughly a day now. This'll be my second active website in quite some time, and the installation as well as the general applications went fine. I've run into a snag as far as logging in, and surprisingly, it's only started just recently (as in the last possible 12 hours). At both my work and my home computer, I've been unable to log in physically. It will state Thank You For Logging In, load the front page, and I will not be logged in. It will then state for me to log in or register.

I'm at a loss, I believe it could possibly be a cookie issue. I've not had a chance to try creating a distinct cookies folder yet, as I do not have access to FTP (for work related securities, FTP is closed here). I was hoping to compile a list of possible solutions and try them when I get home, roughly 4 pm cst.

What are your thoughts on the situation?

And apologies in advance if this should be moved to a separate forum; did not see any other thread with a similar issue.

EDIT: I have tried multiple browsers, and have tried clearing cache and cookies on both machines. I'm running VB 4.x, and cookies are saved to the default / folder

have you tried logging in from both www.yoursite.com and just yoursite.com ? And if you can get to your site from both of those, did you make sure to set your cookie domain to ".yoursite.com" (no quotes, but note the period at the beginning).

Very good point in that; I've tried both and right now everything is fine; apparently logging in through admincp and then choosing to be redirected to the forums keeps me logged in. I'll be trying what you said Lynne when I get off in about 4 hours, I'll keep you posted on what I find.

Wanted to let you know it indeed was not having the www in front of the site, I was amazed at something so simple being the culprit, and thanks for suggesting I try this.
