AdminCP logs me back into login page?

[shibby2]

Hey everyone, I just noticed a problem on ALL of my forums. I run about 8 different forums, half on one hosting account, half on another. But all on the same host.

I just noticed today that when I try to login to my AdminCP, on ANY of my forums, that it redirects me back to the AdminCP login screen. It's not saying my password doesnt work, it just redirects to the login screen again. I cant get into ANY of my forums AdminCPs.

Any idea what is happening? I didnt make any changes at all to any of my forums.

Please help!

check htaccess file if you cant see a problem download it to your desktop then delete it then try admincp if that does not work disable all plugins via config


To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


To enable plugins again just comment out the line

PHP Code:

//define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


Use notepad++ to edit any files

also edit htacess file with notepad ++

If you are not sure about your htaccess file then upload it here so someone can have a look at it

What exactly am I looking for in the htaccess file? I really dont know much about this stuff.

Thanks!

upload it here

It's blank.

On my laptop, through IE, I can login to the forum with no problem and stay logged in, but can't login to the AdminCP.

If I use FF, I can't login to the forums at all.. just keeps me logged out. Same with my phone.

wtf?

Link to your site please and I will make you one see if that helps also tell me what url do you have set in admincp/settings/options/Site Name / URL / Contact Details/Forum URL

This is so weird. I had a tech guy from my host login to the AdminCP with no problem. I disconnected from wifi on my phone (my home network), and I was able to login.

So it seems its just my home IP. I've tried it on three different devices.. two laptops and my phone, all using my home IP, and it wont let me login to the AdminCP.

How is this possible that I cant login to my AdminCP from MY IP only?

Can I ask where you host your forums? I have similar (but different) problem all of the sudden, and I haven't changed anything. My site is on shared hosting at hostgator.

try disabling all plugins then try to login i will make you a htaccess file so at least you have it
put the htaccess file in the root of the ftp

Yep, Hostgator here as well!

I just noticed that after trying to login to the AdminCP, and it directs back to the login page again, that if I refresh the screen once or twice, it will automatically send me into the AdminCP! Does that on all of my forums.

Ok, now that I can get in, I noticed that some things are not working. For instance, if I prune some users (usually spam accounts), that it wont delete them. It will act like it did, but if I go back in, those users are still there.
