my arcade is not saving score after game is over, I belive it's related to the cookie name. I renamed my cookie during install to MoviezOnly.info and the arcade seems to be wanting cookie: mzo.rootswitch.com

So, I guess i'm asking if anyone else has had this trouble, and where can I edit the cookie information. I've looked in Nuke Admin, Preferences, & also in PhPMyAdmin but failed to find the place to edit the cookie.


Help!

Usually the cookie setting is setup within the CMS Software via the Forum Admin Panel --> General Admin --> Configuration --> Cookie Settings

Here is a link to a post on correct cookie settings.

Still getting this error: Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.

I followed that thread above, im on  a subdomain i guess: mzo.rootswitch.com

your doing this on your computer system (localhost) ?? It's best to do it on a live web site. I don't think it's meant to work on a localhost (127.0.0.1).

What server software r u using on your computer for a localhost server ?

[Ruphus]

No it's on my live site, but for some reason, after playing a game, it try's to connect to local host for saving scores, I'm not sure why. This is on my http://www.mzo.rootswitch.com also known as http://www.moviezonly.info
I thought it was wierd to...

What is the OFFICIAL registered domain name that u registered for that web site?

If your using some sort of root switch or site switch, that could explain the problem. From what I c, u have the same site at 2 different domain name address and looks like the mzo.rootswitch.com is the main one that it's going to.

If that is the domain name setup(s) that u want to have or have to use, then u should track down the ORIGINAL Author of the Arcade and ask if there is a solution. I highly doubt that any of the Dev Team Members at the Xtreme site would b able to help since they did not create the Arcade to begin with.

Normally on a single registered domain name address, the saving of arcade scores is not a problem, but in your case, your setup is way different.

Well, I registered http://www.moviezonly.info for our domain name, but my host (a friend) gave me a free hosting account on his server, which is: mzo.rootswitch.com
which is a sub-domain of his I believe, but not certain. I thought everyone's website/host/domain was like this. I guess I should have got my domain and hosting from the same provider, then I wouldn't have this trouble?

Oh ok, I c now. U have 2 different domain names and r using 1 dbase for both domains. U want to use 1 registered domain name, this way your web site cookie does not have problems or have conflicts.

NO, everyone's web site does not have or use 2 registered domain names using 1 dbase. That is not a standard thing to do.

Well, everyone has a host and a domain, the mzo.rootswitch.com is the free hosting account, and I have it pointing to Moviezonly.info as my domain. So how do i fix this, since I can't change either? MoviezOnly.info is the only registered domain name. The other one is a sub-domain on a free account someone gave me as a favor. I take it, it's still a registered domain though, Now I am so confused!

Found this, it was helpful, now i dont get the error with the site trying to access local ip, but arcade still wont update scrores to the database. :S

Glad u found that post.

As far as your scores not saving. First thing u should is stick with your web sites OFFICIAL Registered domain name address, which I think from what u posted is... www.moviezonly.info

That is what u should stick with and your Cookie Domain and Cookie Name should b set to that domain name address. Your other settings in the admin page need to b set correctly as well.

Now if your...

mzo.rootswitch.com

has it's own Registered Domain Address, then u can setup a web site for that as well, but I would NOT recommened using 1 dbase for both web sites. That usually never works well with PhpNuke Software.
