    Hi there,

    We had to perform a disaster recovery and migrate our entire system from Windows Server 2003 to 2008, IIS6 to IIS7, PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.3.10, and a host of other thing.  So there’s the background.

    I managed to move my install of 2.x no problem but had big issues when migrating my 1.6.8 install.  I did some searching and have upgraded to 1.7.2 to make all the PHP work.  My front-end is up and running and correctly pulling from the DB but the CP is missing styles and I’m unable to log in using previous users/ pass.

    I already went into the DB and tried modifying the theme path to the new location.  That didn’t actually solve the CP styles.  Any help is appreciated.

    All set.  I added this:

    $config[‘admin_session_type’] = “c”;
    $config[‘cookie_domain’] = ‘’ ;
