UseBB Community

Hi,

In the near future, I will be hosting 3 or 4 forums (same host) with different topics and would like to know what would be the best settings for Cookies and Sessions to each have their own unique values.

Thanks,
Gene

You can change the session name via the ACP. But I have 3 installations of UseBB on my host and haven't had to change anything to that effect.

Thanks Gaia,

I've asked this because I did have an issue with phpBB running 2 forums with different admin ID's, had to delete the cookies every time I switched from one board to the other, if not, when trying to access the ACP in one forum after logging off the other, everything was screwed-up and phpBB kept loading the previous board's Admin panel.

So, I want to avoid the same issue with useBB.

Cheers,

If they are on a different domain, there's no problem. Otherwise, adjust the cookie path to point to the unique location per forum or use different session names.

Yes, they'll all be on the same domain, 2 phpBB and probably 2 or 3 UseBB installations. Think that different session names will do the trick or should I use unique loactions for each or both?

If you recommend unique locations, do I input:
http://www.matesjunction.com/forumname/ or
username/root/public_html/forumname/ (with trailing slash)?

Thanks,

A cookie path is something like /community/, /forum/, etc...

Great, thanks. Should I do both (session and cookie)?
