Hey Folks,<br />Really strange, I'm trying to login to my admin site to fix some info on my new PHPBB. I try to login and it takes me to <a href="http://www.delphiforums.com/" target="_blank">http://www.delphiforums.com/</a> when I try to login as an admin??!!<br /><br />I'm obviously logged in because when I go back to the forum, I have the option to logout. I was thinking that perhaps it was a problem with the PHPBB theme but it is one of the themes that is a verified for general release... <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=255014" target="_blank">http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=255014</a> ... and now, even if I want to set it back to a default PHPBB theme, I can't...lol... I can't even get to the admin site as it takes me to the delphi forum location. <br /><br />Anything to check or just reinstall?<br /><br />Thanks!!<br /><br />edit: the site is: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kodoclan.com/forums">www.kodoclan.com/forums</a><!-- w --><br />Yes, I've cleared my browser cache, cookies, etc. In Firefox I get the delphi forums, in Internet Explorer I simply get a "The page cannot be displayed" "Cannot find server" message.<br /><br />Thanks!<!--content-->

It looks like your redirect that happens when you attempt to access a page that you need to be logged in for (but aren't) is missing the site name info (causing what David sees above as well as the problem with accessing the admin section, at least if you are not logged in).<br /><br />For example:<br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->$ lynx "http://www.kodoclan.com/forums/admin/"<br /><br />Looking up <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kodoclan.com">www.kodoclan.com</a><!-- w --><br />Making HTTP connection to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kodoclan.com">www.kodoclan.com</a><!-- w --><br />Sending HTTP request.<br />HTTP request sent; waiting for response.<br />HTTP/1.1 302 Found<br />Allowing this cookie.<br />Allowing this cookie.<br />Data transfer complete<br />HTTP/1.1 302 Found<br />Using http:///forums/login.php?redirect=admin/index.php&sid=61ce62fbefc6d6c68cc9b74e6e41663e<br />Looking up<br />Unable to locate remote host .<br />alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />You can see the redirect to the login.php is missing the site name in the URL as David mentioned. This appears to be the case with anything that redirects to the login page. As for how to correct that or where phpBB stores that, I'm not as familiar with phpBB, so maybe someone else who's experienced with phpBB can expand on that...<br /><br />Anyway, Kodo, welcome to the forums from a fellow Kodo rider...<br /><br /><a href="http://gamehaven.org/wow/xrdefense.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://gamehaven.org/wow/xrdefense-thumb.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></a><!--content-->
