AdminCP Login Issue

[Vile]

Hi All,

I recently moved my server to a new dedicated server. The backup & restore to new server, and upgrade from 3.5.4 ---> 3.6.0 RC2 was fine, but after the server move + I am unable to login to Admin CP. It would display the 'Thank you for loggin in...' message, but it would just go back to the main ACP login screen. Also, even logging in normall on the main page doesn't work. It lets you login, but goes back to the main page.

I've been at this for a while with no luck.

Any help is appreciated. TIA

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.

Yup, that did it.

Great job as usual Steve.

Thanks much for the help
