This should help:

Better to include the url in your post so people can help you.

Yeah, that thread covers almost everything that can cause this but if we had your URL we could tell you exactly what the settings need to be.

This is your cookie path:

Code:
/home/users/web/b1018/ipg.pers04/cgi-bin/tmp

Where the bloody hell did you get that from...?? What I'd do is move the files out of the /Upload/ folder into the /forum/ folder, you're not really meant to keep them in the /Upload/ folder, then once you've moved the files, edit ./inc/settings.php, change your Board URL to:

Code:
http://www.beyondaverage.net/forum

your cookie domain to:

Code:
.beyondaverage.net

and your cookie path to:

Code:
/forum/

Then go ACP > Configuration > General Configuration > and make these 3 changes again. Remember to move the files to the /forum/ folder before doing this.

RE: MyBB cookie error? - MattR - 11-20-2009
