Topic: Only some accounts can login after relocation to a new server...

[checksix09]

Greetings,

i have successfully imported the database on the new server.
i copied the community folder to the right place and modiefied the confiuration file Settings.php (db, user, password, paths)

The forum displays correctly (charset) and some users can login without any problem but other users cant (error: wrong password/username)

On the old server was php version 5.2 installed

New Server:
smf version SMF 2.0.2
php version 5.3
mysql version 5.0.95

It would be great if you could help me or give me a hint what could be wrong!

Many Thanks
Markus

It's possible that the move corrupted some cookies, I guess.

Try going to Admin>Server settings and renaming the cookie.

Thanks for your answer!
I already did this when i used the repair_settings script, but the problem still exists.

Is it possible that the encryption of the passwords is changed in any way?

I would think that to be highly unlikely.

I'd also think it unlikely that your forum's cache is corrupt, too. Might just be worth emptying it, though, just in case.

Have a look at Admin>Server settings, again.

Only one of these should be checked:

Enable local storage of cookies
(SSI won't work well with this on.)
 
Use subdomain independent cookies
(turn off local cookies first!)

If only one IS checked, try swapping them over.

On the same page, you'll see "Use database driven sessions".

Try changing that, too.

i followed your advice in the posted order, and now it seems to work (so far no user reporting further login probs, will it know for sure tomorrow)!

Many thanks for your swift professional help!!!

Wonderful!

I'm strictly an amateur, though.
