Hello,

i got some more problems with cookies. I can login with Firefox an Opera and switch to my user profil without any problem. after logging off the cookies are flushed as supposed.
With IExplore 6.0 only the drupal login works. When i want to switch to my profil i got the forum login page. Login doesn ́t work.

So: Firefox, Opera ok
IExplore forum won ́t work.

When i run the diagnostic script after IE login, i got this:

Current domain: www.derwitt.de
_k cookie Missing!
_u cookie UID not matching, 1, Drupal: 1002
_sid cookie (after going to the forum this should change from 1) OK

Opera and Firefox cookies (as it sould be):
Current domain: www.derwitt.de
_k cookie Present
_u cookie UID matches, Drupal: 1002
_sid cookie (after going to the forum this should change from 1) OK

I flushed the forum cache and cookies on the local client.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

I haven't tried, but have a look at the cookies present in IE. What it usually comes down to is that there are two cookies, one for .www.derwitt.de and one for www.derwitt.de (first one is domain, second is host). I haven't quite deciphered IEs matching rules, when those two are deemed identical and when they are not.

You could try forcing the same value in both the module and in phpBB, I'm guessing it's trying to set it automatically now.

We had the same issue.
Try to remove the dot on the cookie config table,
phpbb_config >>cookie_domain
remove the . before your domain name.

In our case the old value was
.northepirus .com
and the new one that is working
northepirus.com

The answer was found on the drupal forum i believe,
thanks.

Thanks
