Got an email from a member a number of weeks ago saying that nobody has been able to log in because of this error. I haven't been able to get in myself... replaced the htaccess file, ran repair_settings, didn't work. It's been a looong time since I've done much in the backend of the forum so I'm a bit rusty, but this has never happened before. Help!

How do I do that without being able to login?

Illori

if you cant log in i would recommend http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_to_upload_a_fresh_set_of_files and installing your mods one by one after and making sure nothing breaks.

Your URL settings are messed up. Have you moved to a different domain?

The login form is pointing to http://assembly-line.net/ which returns a Moved Permanently status to http://www.aquapunk.co/assembly-line/

Try using repair_settings.php to fix your URLs.

We don't know how he/she used it, though.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Yeah, those are both mine. Pretty sure that's the way they've always been? At any rate, I'm not getting any errors re: the addresses, though.

You can not have a forum at two different addresses, even if they are the same actual location...  Having it using both addresses will screw up all sorts of things

screw up what? the forum URL's are all at one domain/location. just because 2 different URL's point to the same location does not mean the forum is working on both of them.

Kindred

That's exactly what I mean. The forum WILL NOT work properly if two different urls are used to access the forum.

the forum works just fine... just only the main page can be accessed with the second URL. that does not mean the whole forum will not work correctly/properly like this.

That's not the problem, it's just a redirect.  Registration doesn't work either, OP needs to upload a clean set of files.

Small cleanup, sorry about that... ::)

Now, about the problem:

I do think that the way that the URLs are set is messing up your forum...

Clearly your main site is http://www.aquapunk.co and your forum is http://www.aquapunk.co/assembly-line/
Yet, the links in this forum all point to http://assembly-line.net/index.php and then it is redirected back to http://www.aquapunk.co/assembly-line/index.php  :o

So I say that your links and redirects are swapped. You should run repair_settings from http://www.aquapunk.co/assembly-line

Yeah I might as well do that while I'm here, but what does it have to do with the fact that none of the login pages recognize username input?

I see that, and it is assways, but everything seems to work except login and registration, and if it's been working that way, shouldn't have changed.

Interesting, wonder if I can duplicate the problem by doing the reverse on a working install ......

The thing is -- login should never have worked with that set up...   it would set the cookie for assembly-line.net then the site was looking for www.aquapunk.co

(or vice versa)
