    Help,
    I have been trying to allow a member group to log in to my control panel. I have three site and am using MSM.
    I have run into a bigger problem.

    The last thing I did was change the cookie setting.
    In the cookie domain and cookie prefix fields i entered the following:

    .mydomain.com & .myseconddomain.org

    Now i can not log in to the control panel
    I enter my username and password and get a blank page with Disallowed Key Character.

    I can not get into the control panel at all

    What can i do?
    Thanks

    Mod Edit: Moved to the Technical Support forum.

    How about you make a backup copy of your config.php file and make the following changes to your current config.php file:

    $conf['cookie_domain'] = "";
    $conf['cookie_path'] = "";
    $conf['cookie_prefix'] = "";

    Then see if you still get that error message.
