Hello everybody, I just installed VBulletin 4.1.2 publishing suite in my hosting account. I am new to it. I installed it under a folder named "forum" under the "public_html" folder. I also added a subdomain forum.mysite.com and associated it with the forum folder. Now when I change the Forum URL in the VBulletin Admin CP under "Site Name/URL/Contact Details" to forum.mysite.com and Homepage URL to forum.mysite.com/content.php then I am not able to sign in. In fact nobody is able to sign in to the forum. Am I doing something wrong. Please advice . Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance
Can you elaborate a little? when you say "I am not able to sign in" - are you seeing any error messages etc...
No , there is no error message showing...just the page refreshes but i can see that i am not logged in. I asking it here also because the digitalpoint forum is also under a subdomain.
I just found out this : http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=923737#post923737 and according to this i first need to point my subdomain to the correct folder and use http://subdomain.mysite.com/install/install.php URL for installing vbulletin. So I first created test folder.uploaded all vb files to it. added a subdomain http://test.mysite.comand directed it to the "test" folder and used http://test.mysite.com/install/install.php URL for installing vbulletin. During installation i see that the "Forum URL" and "Homepage URL" automatically detected was http://test.mysite.com . Now when I advance to the Admin CP after installation I am again not able to login with the details used during installation. I am literally confused. Please help me.
I was just about to post that this seemed like a cookie issue. Anyway, glad to see you got this resolved
Was also just about to say that you would need to install it under the subdomain or the location you wish to install it on
