After the initial login, and clicking "Click here to visit protected page #2!," page2.php appears, but a new login is required.

During the successful setup, only one warning appeared:

"Cookies Warning
If your web browser is not accepting cookies you must turn cookies ON, otherwise you will not be able to login at your own protected pages."

I tried several browsers on two machines. I am able to login to this forum, and everything I know says that cookies are turned on in all browsers.

I have PHPbb up and running on my server (which uses Apache), and I feel certain that the appropriate "session mod" is running.

What's the problem?

I did a phpinfo.php check on my server.

Here are the Apache Modules that are installed:

mod_auth_passthrough,
mod_log_bytes,
mod_bwlimited,
mod_php4,
mod_frontpage,
mod_ssl,
mod_setenvif,
mod_so,
mod_expires,
mod_auth,
mod_access,
mod_rewrite,
mod_alias,
mod_userdir,
mod_actions,
mod_imap,
mod_asis,
mod_cgi,
mod_dir,
mod_autoindex,
mod_include,
mod_status,
mod_negotiation,
mod_mime,
mod_log_config,
mod_env, http_core

Note that Apache Module mod_usertrack is NOT installed on this server. Is mod_usertrack required for cpp_28?

If so, that might be the reason why the cookies aren't being passed to the browsers.

(Of course, I hope that thais isn't the problem.)

You get that problem because you don't have the correct value for $CookieDomain in settings.php:

You must change the value to your domain name where you have installed the script. If you enter for example www.sampleaddress.com the cookie will only be available at www.sampleaddress.com and not sampleaddress.com.

If you need the cookie to be available at both sampleaddress.com and www.sampleaddress.com then you need to set your domain name without www and with the dot:

bylla,

You do good work!

Everything works fine now, but you may be hearing from me again with a similar problem using "localhost" on my laptop Apache. Just let me check my code first.

In this installation I actually spelled my own domain name incorrectly.

Thank you.
