YaBB SE Version: 1.5.4
PHP Version: 4.3.1
MySQL Version: 3.23.x
Server Platform: Windows
Link to Forum: http://www.suddenimpactfans.com/yabbse

Problem Description:
WindowsXP Pro
Apache2
PHP4.3.1 (ISAPI)

Installation went off without a hitch (yeah!) But I cannot login as admin OR register as new user...

I get the following responses from login:

An Error Has Occurred!
You should fill in a username. -

and from register (using any names/passwords):

An Error Has Occurred!
You have chosen a username of an already existing moderator. Please choose another username

Otherwise I seem to be able to look around/read as guest.

I have even set 'Overide cookie settings' and 'accept all session cookies' in IE (no go in Opera7 either).

I haven't found anything in the faqs concerning these responses.

URL:

PHP:
register_globals = off
safe_mode = off

YABBSE: (clean install - not upgrade)

Well, looks like something is misconfigured. For one, if you look at your images (or broken images, rather) you'll notice there are extra /'s in the addy. Like http://// and //YaBBImages//. Go into Settings.php and make sure all the paths are proper.

Yeah, if it's safe to do so... or you can tell me what to censor.  The broken images was me trying to find what was wrong... fixed that back.

You really don't need to censor anything.  Nothing will be released that reveals info about your FTP account directly.

Okay, why are you running Apache 2.x?  It's NOT widely supported, if I'm not correct.

BINGO!  After doing some searching, I found THIS:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php

QuoteDo not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment neither on Unix nor on Windows.

IF you insist on running Apache 2.x, make SURE that your PHP is configured correctly, otherwise downgrade to Apache 1.3x.

I'm not sure that's the problem as i've read that before and i've got what is considered a 'correct' setup... PHP4.3.1 and my htconfig is set up exactly as described.

As you could see my site... on the third page (event selection) there is a login form for me and a friend (admins) that works just fine...

I just turned off all cookies in IE6 and was still able to log in to my site - because I don't use cookies (yet). I will add some cookie code to my site and see if the problem appears.  But, just now with cookies blocked I was able to login this site with IE6... but can't stay logged in upon clicking any links.

IF you insist on running Apache 2.x, make SURE that your PHP is configured correctly, otherwise downgrade to Apache 1.3x.

Ok, now here's where I am...

Still using same configuration:
WinXP Pro
Apache2
PHP4.3.1
Mysql3.23.x

I can only get everything up and running if I create everything with default settings...
Admin - Admin
leave database and all table names at defaults,
etc.
However I can change my profile afterwards. And can now register as new user. Now I get another problem...

Logout:

An Error Has Occured!
Session check failure. Please try again.

I cannot logout. Not without going to cookie folder and deleting the cookie manually.  Starting to wonder if this is being caused by my DNS... FRAMED redirect. anyone?

Also... using opea7.1 right now and used the magic wand to login here. It caused the:
An Error Has Occured!
You should enter a username. -

Yet clicking on 'home' link I found myself logged in.

It's not even really YaBB SE's fault, the problem is the way Internet Explorer handles cookies. (both your problems are, in fact.)
