No One Can Login To Forum.

Ok, I give up. You have a htaccess with loads of entries from WPCache in your main forum, then htaccess in your forum folder with PrettyUrl redirections, and - as I explained in PM - I think there is another redirection in your cPanel

even with both htaccess files commented out/renamed/deleted, it's still impossible to access the forum just by typing "http://www.celebutopia.net/forum". it's beyond my knowledge I'm afraid, sorry

and your problems with logging in are probably caused by the fact that SMF treats www/non-www as separate domains, and the cookie set by SMF is not being recognized

Droid, can you tell me the last changes/mods installed before this issue occurred?

Did the OP give you his cPanel access by any chance?

What I suggested earlier (which he says he cannot find) is still worth a shot, in my book...

This is a lonnnng shot, but try logging into your db via phpmyadmin (or whatever you use from your cpanel) and inside table smf_settings (assuming smf_ is your db prefix) change the variable globalCookies from 0 to 1.

That might just force your installation to use subdomain independent cookies.

no, just ftp access. you may have a point advising to change the cookie setting, but this situation should be sorted, orelse the website will be penalised by google

I looked in the db for what you told me to and it is not there. I have checked in cpanel and there are no redirections anywhere that I can find. I am telling you it driving me up a wall. This happened when I changed servers. I have everything on the new server installed the same as the last. I am stumped.

oRANGINE, I went to that url and I can access the forum just not login.

[Droid2875]

ok. i deleted everything and uploaded everything again and still the exact same problem. There where no files left in the directory. IT has to be in the database somewhere I guess. I am at a complete loss.

Hmm...wondering if the Server Settings are where some things could be tweaked. But I don't think you can get there, right? I looked in phpMyAdmin on a test site and I'm not sure what to change there. I did get the registration email, nothing wrong with that part. And I cannot login either of course. Hmm...

[Droid2875]

I can access everything in the database. I do not understand is I deleted everything, yet my banner from way back when is showing up??!!

[Droid2875]

Topic solved. I just imported the entire database again and all new files. I was dreading having to do that but I guess I had to do what I had to do. THanks for all your help everyone.
