#168581 - 11/19/06 02:46 PM [NOTABUG] Just finished import, login not recognized.

I did a test import to 7.01 of 1800+ members, 12,000 or so topics. The import took about 5 hours and completed successfully. All forums and threads appear to be present and browseable (so far). I plan to wait for 7.02 before actually going live with the upgrade, this was just a test or me.

At completion, I was given the option to log in, and was unable to do so -- no error message given, just passed to the main page with "You are not logged in" in the upper right hand corner.

How can I get myself logged in as administrator? (Yes I'm accepting cookies from my own site.)

My imported (non-live) forums are sitting here . Registration isn't working because the email isn't working. I assume some settings need to be tweaked that weren't copied over from my original config file.

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Ah, if only that had been it. But, to my credit, it was one of the first things I tried.

Whenever I got the problem, it was due to the cookie prefix conflicting with a previous install of the beta forum, or the current install of the live forum. Try changing the cookie prefix on the test forum, clearing cookies, and hoping.

I set the test forum up with a different cookie prefix initially, anticipating a conflict. Test forum cookie prefix is "7.01_".

Clearing my cookies hasn't done it, unfortunately... seeking other ideas at this point.

Thanks, though, for the initial suggestions. \:\)

You've got something going on that really doesn't make much sense. If you turn on a cookie tracker, you'll see that it actually sets all the cookies properly, but then when it redirects you to the start page it's actually deleting the cookie for your userid.

The part that makes no sense is that the only place that cookie ever gets deleted is when you hit the logout button. So there is somthing funky in the setup thats making that cookie get deleted on the redirect.

Could be as easy as changing the prefix, try using a letter before the numbers, or try removing the period alltogethre.

Looking at cookie specs

Quote:
The name may contain only letters, numbers and underscore characters, and it must begin with a letter.


So Gizzy seems to have it right

It works like that in PHP a lot too, certain things can't start with a number, and using non A-Z 0-9 characters b0g some things ;)...

Ah-ha!!

Thank you, Ian, Rick, and Gizmo! It looks like the funky cookie prefix was the thing messing me up. I edited the config file manually and changed it to an all-text prefix and now am able to log in without problem.

Thanks for the help, guys!
