[RESOLVED] [2005] FormsAuthentication.Authenticate

[vbdotnetboy]

nevermind i'm an idiot

ok i'm REALLY confused now. i have a asp.net app that i wrote and was working 2 weeks ago because it was done and deployed. i started a new app and basically was just using the same code that was in the other app. i'm using forms authentication and when i do a FormsAuthentication.Authenticate it doesn't return true. the user exists in the database and the password is correct. the reason i know this is because if i try and go to the page that i'm required to log into i can get to it even though the login page tells me that the login failed. if i sign out and try and go back i get redirected to the login page like i should. however no matter what i do when i step through the code and hit the FormsAuthentication.Authenticate it returns false and as i said 2 weeks ago it worked fine. am i missing something because something is configured right
