Moved to scripting talk for organization.<br /><br />There are some common problems listed in the <a href="http://phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=faq" target="_blank">phpbb FAQ</a>. If you look at 23, that might be the problem:<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec--># I (or my users) cannot stay logged in to the forum!<br /><br />If you (or your users) are, after attempting a login, being returned to the index (or other page) without appearing to be logged in the most likely problem is incorrect cookie settings. phpBB 2 uses cookies to store a session id and a small amount of user data. For this data to be stored correctly the cookie domain, path and secure settings must be correct. You can check this in Admin->General Configuration->Cookie settings. Typically the cookie domain can be left blank and the cookie path set to / (a single forward slash). Do not set the cookie as being secure unless your board is running over a secure sockets layer connection, ie. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://">https://</a><!-- m --><br /><br />If you still have problems try setting the cookie domain to your full domain name, eg. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mysystem.tld">www.mysystem.tld</a><!-- w -->, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.something.mydomain.tld">www.something.mydomain.tld</a><!-- w -->. You must ensure the domain name contains at least two dots or browsers will be unlikely to recognise the cookie, eg. .****, ****. Do not add http:// or anything else to the domain name!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />I also did a search on their forums for '404 when logging in' and came up with several threads:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=188760&highlight=404+logging" target="_blank">here</a><br /><a href="http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=188696&highlight=404+logging" target="_blank">here</a><br /><a href="http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=188487&highlight=404+logging" target="_blank">here</a><br /><br />That should get you off to a start.
