Hi

I am using MSM and I am setting up other sites using the Masking Access to the Control Panel method. The main site plus one other seems to be working OK.

I have set a up a further site and when I try and log in nothing happens, it does not login just stays on the login page.

Thanks

David

Hi David,

What version and build of both EE and MSM are you using?
Are you using any add-ons?

Can you explain what you did to set-up each site? Did you duplicate the sites or make blank MSM sites?
Is each site a different domain or a different folder?

What did you change in each admin.php for each site?

What are you using for the Control Panel Session Type under Security and Session Preferences

Hi John

What version and build of both EE and MSM are you using?

2.1.3 20101220 - MSM Version: 2.0 Build: 20101215 No its not the latest version but i am still over 4 weeks into trying to get another site to work with the latest version so will not be updating this one.

Are you using any add-ons?

Made blank sites

Is each site a different domain or a different folder?

Each site is a different domain with a different folder on Engine hosting this is there set-up.

What did you change in each admin.php for each site?

I change the   $assign_to_config[‘cp_url’] file to the domain name plus admin name. Each folder has a admin.php file, index.php file and a path.php file plus a .htaccess file in a folder.

What are you using for the Control Panel Session Type under Security and Session Preferences

I totally understand that, but please do be aware that we may not be able to support you much on that version. There have been a slew of bug fixes since 2.1.3, many of them relating to MSM.

Could you try globally disabling extensions to make sure that this isn’t the fault of an unruly add-on?

I change the   $assign_to_config[‘cp_url’] file to the domain name plus admin name. Each folder has a admin.php file, index.php file and a path.php file plus a .htaccess file in a folder.

You shouldn’t need that path.php file there, unless that’s a custom file of your own making. path.php is a file from EE 1.x.

Could you post here the contents of your .htaccess files on the secondary sites? Both the one that is working and the one that isn’t?

Made no difference

They both use the same info, the is the rewrite section, they are too long to put all of it here.

IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  
# Enable Rewrite Engine 
# ------------------------------ 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /  
# Redirect index.php Requests 
# ------------------------------ 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC] 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/system/.* 
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,L]  

# Standard ExpressionEngine Rewrite

</IfModule>

For the sake of troubleshooting, could you disable the .htaccess file on the site where you’re unable to login. What results are you seeing now?

Still can’t login to the site, but it does work with Mountee.

Ok, be on the lookout for an email from me, David. I want to get a look at this first-hand.

David,

I made a few changes and all seems ok now. Can you confirm please?

Hi, David,

Just checking in; did John Henry’s modifications help out?

Thanks!

Hi Lisa

One site is still not working but I sent the info by email.

David

Please check with EngineHosting regarding that site that isn’t working. It appears the directory that you intend to be the web root of that domain name isn’t actually configured that way, and EH should be able to fix that up for you.

Kevin

That has been fixed. Thanks

Thanks for letting us know, David, and glad you got it all up and working.

Please let us know if anything else comes up!
