Mybb Cookie Problem

[ShadyX]

Well i have been developing a mybb forum and i thought of course it would be more practical to do it on my localhost rather than on an actual server. I moved everything to my local and i cannot login, im assuming its a cookie problem but how can i change everything when i cant even login? lol

You're right, it is a cookie problem. This should help. Make sure these are the current settings.

If your URL is http://www.example.com, your settings should be:

Cookie Domain: .example.com
Cookie Path: /

If your URL is http://www.example.com/myforum, your settings should be:

Cookie Domain: .example.com
Cookie Path: /myforum/

If your URL is http://subdomain.example.com/wow, your settings should be:

Cookie Domain: .subdomain.example.com OR .example.com
Cookie Path: /wow/


How do I change them? Keep re-logging in and try via ACP, or if worse comes to worse you'll just need to reinstall and use correct settings from the install.

You should never have to change these settings. It sounds like you have changed mybb file locations. If you like me to take a look pm me with some details.

You do need to change them if you're installing on a subdomain for example.
