ACP connection problem

After I'm logging in to the ACP, I click General Configuration, but then I need to enter the ACP password again.

This also occures after I save the configuration.

How can I solve this, and stay always logged in, just like in UseBB 1.0?

Are your cookie settings in config.php right? It seems like the session loses its session data.

Can you be more specific please?
What exact setting (by the way - I can also change it through the ACP, right?)?

Thanks!

Are you using friendly URL's? If so, cookies need to be saved in your browser. Maybe paste the cookie settings from your config.php.

I'm not using friendly URL's, and the cookies settings are all blank.

Are you having the problem all the time, or just randomly after a number of pages.

This is a known bug and I've noticed this a long time ago, however it doesn't seem like UseBB is causing it, rather PHP's session data storage mechanism.

Did you try setting your domain name in the cookie_domain setting (for example 'usebb.net' or even better '.yourdomain.tld' (note the dot)) and check if the problem persists?

Just randomly after a number of pages.
And I tried to set my domain name in the cookie_domain setting, but it didn't work, the problem persists.

I recall the following thread: http://www.usebb.net/community/topic-1197.html

This is about the same problem. Perhaps you are using a proxy of some sort?

It's an annoying bug but I don't know what exactly causes it. I guess we should look at it better.

Nope, I'm not using a proxy. In fact, the ACP connection problem didn't exist at UseBB 1.0, maybe you should look at version 1.0 and then at 1.0.1, see what changed, and then rectify the problem?

There were no changes to session handling in UseBB 1.0.1.

Could you test the CVS sources from http://usebb.sourceforge.net/cvs/ ?

I don't know nothing about CVS. If you can guide me by being more specific, I will be happy to test.

It's all explained on that page. Just download the package (tar.gz or tar.bz2) shown there.

I still don't understand what you want me to do.
Should I installed the package that I downloaded from there, and test if the ACP connection problem appears on that package, too?

Yes.
