Test install and live install conflicting

[RGSerge]

This will probably be a stupid question with an easy answer, usually is when I ask questions


But... I have setup a test installation of vbulletin 3 RC4 on my server so I can test out a few things, including the templates and so I can play with integrating aspects of the forum into my actual site, such as vbulletin membership being used to control various things on my site.

Anyhow, if me or any of the staff are logged in on the live forum, the test forum wont allow login and vice versa. Even when you logout it acts erratically. To make matters worse its not even consistant, sometimes it plays up, sometimes it doesnt.

The problem never occurs if I use say IE for logging into the live forum and Firebird for the test forum, but its annoying having to use two seperate browsers (firebird being the one of preference).

I would imagine its the cookies conflicting, is there any way to get around this problem?

In config.php set your cookie prefix in for your test site to "test" instead of bb. clear your cookies and restart your browser

Ah, I see. I didn't think to look in config.php, I shall go do that.

Walks away feeling kinda embarassed (I knew it would be something simple)

Thanks

Its a newer setting that was added for this reason i believe. (at least i think so)
