no admins can get to admin panel

Post by muppet-modding »

Iv recently upgraded out our forum to modphpbb3, now none of the admins can get into the admin control panel.

We are kinda stuck at the moment, any ideas

cheers

Click 'Delete all cookies set by board' at the bottom of your forum, then delete browser cache and cookies.

Then see if it works.

nothing, we have narrowed it down to a cookie issue we think.

I found a script that allowed to change cookie settings, but nothing i do allows any of us access, it logs us into the forum no problem, but after i see a "adm" login screen, it just cycles through asking us to log in.

Really confused about this, any ideas,

cheers

If you can pm me an admin user and pass, I will have a look. You can obviously change it after use.

Added a post in the other thread. Try re-uploading files that may not have been changed during convert.

I haven't seen that before on converted boards so think it could be changes in session.php etc that are still running the old files.

You have definitely overwrote the files again with the modded ones?

Also, pm me over your phpmyadmin details, I will have a look at the database, definitely a cookie issue.

Did you run the instructions to convert the board or did you install it, then copy over sql from another directory?

It is definitely a session issue as who is online isn't even working.

Did you follow this http://www.modphpbb3.com/viewtopic.php? ... 36&start=0 and was it from a phpBB3?
