Locked Out of vBulletin?

Locked Out of vBulletin?

Recently I ran into an issue where I could not log into vBulletin (after changing the forum URL from (example.com/forums/ to forums.example.com). Lesson learned – you need to clear the cookie path in the admin before changing over to the new URL.

If it is too late though, you can download a file called “tools.php” that is in the do_not_upload file of the standard vBulletin folder. Upload that to the admincp folder along with the “install” folder and then go to your forum’s URL /admincp/tools.php. You will be prompted for your customer ID, and then you can reset your cookie settings.

Once you are done, make sure to delete the file and install folder. Login should once again work!

    Thanks for the Tip. I had a similar problem in BBPress last month and couldn’t fix it, so I changed the PERM_URLs setting back to what it was….

    What’s up? Bored between classes here so decided to introduce myself.

    So something has been bugging me for a while now . Here’s what happened After classes I took the bus, I hadn’t eaten lunch so I stopped in at this restaurant and ordered a sandwitch and took it to a table and sat down when it suddenly occured to me they didn’t charge me!

    Yeah evidently they were super busy and distracted because there was this manager/investor type looking around everywhere and talking to them. So I was just about to go up to the counter and say I hadn’t paid but then I realized if I did that the owner guy might get mad at the employees. So I just left. What should I have done do you think?
