Login problems

[mjsdimifc]

Hello

I am having some problems regarding logging into my site. I along with admin or mods can get in via the admin/mod cp but members cant login the usual way. We recently changed our domain name and it was after that we had problems. Instead of the login box appearing an image of the whole site appears. We are not sure why this is happening. Is there anyone that can help us.

The site is www.mjjforeverbad.com

When you changed the domain, did you you update it everywhere you need to?

It needs changing in the AdminCP (Settings > Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details), and also in the front end /config.php file.

I checked the settings and its changed there but since I did not deal with the domain change myself I dont know where the front end /config.php file. I will have to get in touch with the person that did it for me

I was in touch with the person who changed the domain and she updated what she knew that had to be updated but she knows nothing about the front end /config.php file.

Where is exactly is that in the admin cp?

I had this exact same issue.

Make sure that all of the URLs are identical in the AdminCP (Settings > Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details) settings.

I had one as forums.sitename and another as sitename/forums and had this issue.

Ok so your saying that all URLs need to be my site url which is www.mjjforeverbad.com right?

Here are mine:

Site URL: http://fourms.mysitename.com
Login URL: http://fourms.mysitename.com
Core URL: http://fourms.mysitename.com/core

use the http and ditch the www maybe?

Edit: also, make sure you have no bookmarks using the wrong format.....clear your history and cache and so forth on your browser....took me a while to figure that one out. I had a bookmark that was http:mysitename.com/forums and it made it so I could never log in. :/

The http:// is always required. The www depends on which you want to use AND what your server is setup to use. If you can get to your domain both with and without www then you can choose which you prefer- but you must remain consistent and either always use the www or never use www.

In 5.0.5 the front end /config.php no longer needs manual editing, older versions required you to put the base url in the file. If you upgraded to 5.0.5 from an older version I recommend you simply replace the /config.php file in your forum root with the config.php.bkp file in the original install package. Just rename the file to config.php before uploading.

hey one of the admins did what was suggested now the whole admin cp panel was messed up like the site

We used this

Site URL: http://fourms.mysitename.com
Login URL: http://fourms.mysitename.com
Core URL: http://fourms.mysitename.com/core

but when we took out forums the site went back to what it look like in the first place. So I think the suggestions above is not a solution.

We tried what was suggested and it messed up the site. take a look at what we see when we try to login. Can this be sorted?
