Weird Login Problem

[1master1]

Hello,
I had some strange login problem. My forum is in sub folder of root directory

public_html/board/mybb

Now, i added a rewrite rule in .htaccess to direct the users to subfolder when they point the domain http://www.domain.com -> http://www.domain.com/board/

But the problem is when the users login it is not showing our status as logged in and instead we need to click refresh to see our online logged in status and again if we point to http://www.domain.com it is showing us as guests and if we append the domain with /board/ showing again as logged in.

Try to correct your cookie settings, as it seems that you have incorrect cookie settings;

cookies are fine. but problem still persists.

[Imran]

To use http://domain.com/board/ as your forum's URl, you need to have /board/ in your cookie settings.

yes, i tried like that and also gave full url too. but failed

[leefish]

take the rewrite rule out and put this in your site root as index.php

PHP Code:

<?php header( 'Location: http://path to your forum root/index.php' ) ; ?>

Have you tried it?

[1master1]

thanks leefish, your hint helped me in finding what is causing the error. I did as you said and worked fine.
but i'm 2 codes in root .htaccess, one to hide the index.php and the other for hiding the subfolder which is "board"

so when user points to http://www.domain.com, he can see index page but the link dont have "/board/index.php"

i think the .htaccess code needs some moficiation to recify the first post error.

I think your cookie path should be / and the domain should be .domain.com
