if I clear the cache on my site before changing the URL, will this clear the cookie path??I have tried to change my URL and was unable to sign in after .

Did you change the cookie path in the AdminCP?

[sudbury8]

No, I didn't

[sudbury8]

What do I changed it to??

You change it to whatever you set the cookie path to in your config.php file.

Wait, let's row this back a few steps. Cookie PREFIX is set in config.php, not cookie path. Two entirely different things.

Right, first thing....if the forum URL is different, was this changed in the settings in the admincp first?

[sudbury8]

All the URL have been changed correctly.

So what happens when you try to sign in?

[sudbury8]

After I sign in ,its look like it going to work but then it returns back to the home page.Its likes the site loops back to home page

Did you have a cookie domain set in your admincp > settings and did you clear it before moving to the new URL? Did you change the URLs in the admincp or did you change them directly in the database? Have you tried uploading the tools.php file to your admincp (and also reuploading your /install directory) and then resetting the cookie domain?

[sudbury8]

I did not change the cookie domain I don't know that I had to modify the cookie domain, can you tell me how to do that??

Lynn mentions it in here post:

Have you tried uploading the tools.php file to your admincp (and also reuploading your /install directory) and then resetting the cookie domain?

So upload tools.php from the 'do not upload' folder, this goes in /core/admincp/
Then upload the /install/ folder to /core/
Then run /admincp/tools.php and choose the option to reset the cookie domain.
