I have recently installed GL on my webspace and i have set up, all the details required i have changed to the cookies url to my true domain name and not my redirect name. I am able to post stuff. But when it comes to logging in i cannot........if i try to log in with a normal user account i am displaed in the 'Users Online Block' but do not have the user functionallity and when i try to login with the Admin account i am taken to the 'Command And Control Page' and immediately sent back to the admin login screen? Any ideas....... my domain is called www.problempc.co.uk or http://m02.modserver.com/~gilly/ (true domain)

Thanks in advance!

At the moment, your site is sending out cookies with an ip address for the domain:

GET /~gilly/ HTTP/1.0
Host: m02.modserver.com

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 09 May 2004 16:05:08 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP-CGI/0.1b

However, as explained in the FAQ, the domain in the cookie must match the actual domain name of your site.

You may want to set $_CONF['cookiedomain'] accordingly.

I have reset the cookie domain, to my site and i am still unsuccessful at logging in! I have tried both my forwarding address and my actual address.

Any other suggestions?

What did you enter for the $_CONF['cookiedomain'] variable? At the moment, I get

Set-Cookie: LastVisit=1084212109; expires=Tue, 10-May-05 18:01:49 GMT; path=/; domain=.m02.modserver.com/~gilly

which isn't correct either. Try

$_CONF['cookiedomain'] = '.m02.modserver.com';

I have now changed the Domain Cookie to the address you posted, but i am still unable to login. When i try to as the admin, it sends me to the Admin Control Panel and then sends me straight back to the Admin login page!!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks Dirk for all your help, i have now managed to log into the site as the admin!
Is there a way around having to use the offical URL, and using the forwarded one insteaded?

Thanks again!

Not with the frame redirect that you're currently using for the 'problempc' domain.
