Got link?

Or hey is there an extra trailing slash in your URLs? That's something fantastico was doing wrong under some conditions so it might be the root of all evil here.

I have exactly the same problem. I am still puzzled. I think it has something to do with the cookies.

Under investigation...

Try changing $instance_name in /conf/_advanced.php ... it often cures things ;)

I don't know if this is the link you are asking for but this is the link I use to log in.

I'm a newbie so I have no idea where I have to change this. Help? :-/

That link would ask me for a password, but it shows there is no extra trailing slash so that's a dead end.

The part where ¥åßßå said "in conf/_advanced.php" is where you would look to edit the variable called "$instance_name. I don't have a nice human-friendly explanation of what $instance_name means so just figure it's got something to do with something that often fixes stuff ;)

Now that you're all experted up on that topic, let's edit the file eh? First, since you used Fantastico, you will want to get a copy of the file named _advanced.php in the folder called conf onto your computer. Your host probably provides a way to FTP files, but there are also many very good free programs you can use for FTPing files.

Oh and hosts also often provide a way to edit files directly on your server so you might check your cpanel for a way to edit stuff. File Manager of some sort eh?

Anyway if you download the file then you will want to open up a nice friendly file editor (not MS Word, but notepad will do in a pinch) and open that file for editing. Scroll down until you find a line that looks like this:

$instance_name = 'b2evo'; // MUST BE A SINGLE WORD! NO SPACES!!

Change the 'b2evo' part to something like 'whateva' then save the file and upload it to where you got it from. Make sure your FTP program over-writes the old one - you will be able to tell by the date stamp yah?

Now login and see if ¥åßßå is the second coolest playa on these forums :)

I did what you said but it still doesn't work. :(

Hey I just noticed something: you do have an extra trailing slash somewhere. Your link to admin.php doesn't show it, but if you click on the "Home" link on your blog it'll give you http://isolatedexistence.com//index.php so maybe that'll be the fix? Go into your conf folder (again) and this time edit _basic_config.php file. Scroll down to where it says $baseurl and see if it has an extra trailing slash. I think it does. So remove it, meaning make it be 'http://isolatedexistence.com/', upload it, and see if things go better.

No promises - just thinking of stuff that might do something.
