Hi brianrivet,

I’m so sorry that happened! Let’s see if we can get it overridden. Open /system/expressionengine/config/config.php You should find a blank line around line 24 place this code there:

$config['cookie_domain'] = "";

That will override the value you have set in the Control Panel. Once you are able to login, you can unset the value in the CP, and then remove this line from confg.php

Thanks Dan,

That fixed that issue, so I was able to get back in. Now we just need to resolve the issue of logging in as the wrong user.

Thanks

Brian

Hi,

I wanted to check up with you guys and see if you have any ideas about how to resolve this issue. I’ve been looking at it on my end and I’m not having any luck.

Thanks,

Brian

I think it’s going to be best at this point to dive in and take a first-hand look, Brian. Be on the lookout for an email from me.

Hi Kevin,

I just sent it over to you. Thanks for your help!

Hey Brian,

Figured it out: The problem wasn’t that EE was actually logging in other users as the user with member ID #1. Since it looks like you’re wrapping your pages fully in Channel Entries tags, the {username} variable was displaying the entry’s author username, not the logged-in member’s username. In situations like this (where EE will parse member variables based on the tag they reside within) be sure to use the alternative syntax for member variables.

I changed {username} to {logged_in_username} and it now shows the properly logged-in user.

Can you confirm that this takes care of things for you?

Hey Kevin,

That looks like that was it. Thanks so much for your help. I completely didn’t see it.

Thanks again for your help!

Brian

Holy cow, that was a puzzler.  Glad Kevin got you squared away!  Sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyeballs.
