hi everyone.

i recently installed Drupal 5.3 + the phpBB module & phpBB 3.
now, everything works well in Firefox. i can use a remote login form, users stay logged in between drupal and phpBB. But with IE and Safari, the users log into drupal, go to the forum, they still need to login. wanting to login, they get taken back to the drupal login screen (which is normal) but they're already logged in...

anyone have any ideas what the reason for this might be ? i've searched the drupal forum/the threads in this group, but still haven't found a solution.

both browser cookies were cleared before testing.

thnx!

ok, it seems to be fixed.

ok, it seems to be fixed. after some time clearing cookies, refreshing, changing cookie and script paths,etc...
i knew it was a cookie/session problem, but i wasn't exactly sure what of course

the trick was leaving the cookie domain in phpbb3 empty, and just put a forward slash "/" into the cookie path.

looks kinda dumb now, but hey...

No worries, it's a bit

No worries, it's a bit random depending on your server configuration. Thanks for reporting back.
