VBulletin 2 Problem
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: The Helper
I am trying to recreate a Vbulletin 2 mirror of thehelper.net forums on a local machine and I am running into serious problems being able to log in to the forums.
I got it so thehelper.net main page shows up with the news forum integration, and the default forum index page shows up but as soon as you try to login it can never log me in as anyone.
Has anyone here ever tried to run vbulletin on a local machine and had this problem? Can anyone give me a clue as to why I cannot log into the board - or at least throw me a bone on where I can look to try and figure out why I cannot log in.
I have reimported the database 3 times and using mysql tools I can read the user table for my username and password, and I can tell that vbulletin is able to read the database as far as the templates for unlogged in users is concerned. Why won't it let me log in?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there TH 
Might have something to do with cookies... are you running it on Windows or Linux? I haven't tried running vBulletin locally, but I'm sure that login problems are a cookie problem, not a database problem...
Try clearing your cookies just in case they're corrupted, and make sure the "cookie domain" and "path to save cookies" are set correctly... there was also a cookie problem in earlier vB2 versions, so getting the latest vB2 version (2.3.5 I think) might help...
It may also be a browser problem...

The local computer is a windows box running Apache and MySQL. I checked the cookie domain values and they are blank. I am thinking that it may be a cookies problem as well but it will not let me log in even if I clear the cookies, and it does the same thing using IE or Mozilla.
Are the cookiedomain and path to saved cookies supposed to be blank for a local installation?
