Hello everyone,
I was given the task of upgrading our forum (installed long time ago by previous employees) from 1.2.7 to 2.5.2 . I came here to the forums & read quite a bit before plunging in since I'd never used this software before & thought I had all my bases covered.
The upgrade from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8 went smoothly as did the update to 2.02 . When I ran the update for 2.5.2, it appeared to go smoothly with no error msgs, however, when the consistency checker was supposed to run, I was presented with the admin login console. After trying to login (as root, which is the admin acct), it brings me right back almost like I'm in a loop (no error msgs or nuthin). Of course now, the forum is offline & it appears there is no way for me to go into the console to change anything. After perusing the forums once again, I am leaning towards the possibility of a cookie problem but I could possibly be way off for all I know.
I'm kinda at a loss now & am searching for ways to either backout & reattempt the update or fix the current updated forum. Would someone please help give me some pointers as to how I can fix this ? Thank you.....

The fact that there were no error is a good sign.
Check your GLOBALS.php file and make sure that cookie domain corresponds to the domain the forum is installed on.
Also, check the MySQL database and see if is_mod = 'A' for the user you are trying to login as.
