Login problem

[BosDev]

Recently upgraded from 3x to 4.1.3, and users are having troubles logging in.

I've seen the oft quoted:

If you allow users to login to your site via both http://www.yoursite.com and just yoursite.com., then you MUST have your cookie domain (vboptions > cookies > cookie domain) set to ".yoursite.com" (no quotes, but note the period at the beginning) or your users will have problems. Also, make sure to tell your users to click the Remember Me button when they login.


However, my forums is at http://forums.mydomain.com and yes, my cookie settings are at ".mydomain.com"

They ARE getting logged in, as if they click anything the next page shows them as logged in. Just the re-directed page isn't showing it.

Do you have an .htaccess file? Any caching being done in there?

[BosDev]

I do, and no.

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks

### THIS IS A LITTLE EXTRA SECURITY AND CAN BE REMOVED

RewriteRule ^includes/(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^vb/(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^packages/(.*) index.php

### THIS IS THE ACTUAL REWRITE

RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

Do you have a link and a test username/password we can use to see what is happening?

Also, is this happening with all browsers?

[BosDev]

I have forwarded you via PM an admin account.

I've had reports on all the major browsers, IE's FF's and Chrome's. I can replicate the issue with each browser.

Thanks for looking into this.
