This question may be related to a resolved thread.

Hi, I have a client that has at least two sites that experiencing a problem with logins. It appears to be browser specific, where a user logging in from IE7-8 or Chrome will be instantly redirected back to the login page. We’re at a loss. Halp!

Hi rjt35,

Welcome to the forums 😊

Does your client have both these sites under MSM?

What version and build of EE are you using?

Can you add the following to your config.php file and try again please?

$config['cookie_domain'] = "";
$config['cookie_path'] = "";
$config['cookie_prefix'] = "";
$config['admin_session_type'] = "c";
$config['user_session_type'] = "c";
$config['require_ip_for_login'] = "n";

Hey John,

Quick correction on my part. One of them allows chrome to login, but they both can’t be logged in from IE8, while the other doesn’t allow chrome.

I added those settings to my config.php, but no change.

Both are running MSM, and are on 2.1.3 build 20101220.

With some fiddling I found that my MSM sites that have hard coded site_name’s don’t have this issue. I can use their masked cp pages to login fine. I then tested this further by hard coding

$assign_to_config['site_name'] = 'default_site';

into my main control panel index.php file and I can login fine after that, with the side effect that the site drop down won’t function.

So I guess the site_name isn’t being dynamically set? Not sure if this is helpful, but atleast I have some sort of workaround. Should I upgrade things?

Dan,

Can you explain your set-up in a bit more detail please?

You have 2 MSM sites?
One or both have a masked control panel?
What congi options are set in these admin.php fields presently?
What is in your config presently?(hide any sensitive info)
