problems with session ids

[IncubuRs]

Hello,

after some problems my forum wasn't accessible as
http://www.site.com/vb/index.php
and I had to make it - temporarily - an ip acess like
http://999.99.999.999/vb/index.php

assuming this is my server ip address .. the index is viewed as with all threads - posts - profiles everything except .. when pressing the admincp link on the bottom it accquires username and password for admincp - viewing the redirect page with a url ending with /vb/admincp/index.php?s=( number ) and redirects you the admin login page again which prevents me from entering the control panel

This is probably a cookie domain/path issue. To fix this, upload the tools.php script in the 'do_not_upload' folder of the vB zip file to your Admin CP directory and run it from your browser. Use this to reset the cookie domain and path back to the defaults. And then leave your cookie domain and path at the default settings. There is no reason to change these. If you need to specify a unique cookie, use the cookie prefix setting in config.php instead.
