I am using MSM and on my second site, sometimes the rendered templates don’t load and they just get stuck.  The end result is a timeout.  This behavior also happens when I use a logout path link which does not involve my template code.  This is strange since it happens only sometimes and it happens on all pages that are rendered by EE for that site.  My original site doesn’t have this problem.  I think my index.php file is not set-up properly.  Here are my settings

$system_path = '../public_html/system';
$assign_to_config['site_name']  = 'title';
$assign_to_config['cp_url'] = 'https://www.example.com/admin.php';
$assign_to_config['site_url'] = 'https://www.example.com/';

Is adding https causing the problem as my other site uses http?  I want my entire second site to be encrypted.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advanced.

Hi funnEE,

Is adding https causing the problem as my other site uses http?  I want my entire second site to be encrypted.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advanced.

That is a possibility. Some servers have a retraction in place. In effect, your 2nd site is accessing ExpressionEngine via a file path to the first site. That path is not secure, and may be the cause of this timeout.

If you don’t use https on the 2nd site, do you still see the timeouts?

I just removed the s in https in the index.php file while accessing the page using https but I am still getting the timeouts on logouts.  Accessing the page using http is not acceptable.  I am going to copy over my system folder to the 2nd site and edit the index.php files to see if I can run the second site in SSL with no time outs.  Do I need to update my license since I purchased the business license under the first domain?  Thanks for your advice.

I moved my site and updated my index.php files accordingly.  My second site has the following index.php settings:

$system_path = './site2_html/system';
$assign_to_config['site_name']  = 'title2';
$assign_to_config['cp_url'] = 'https://www.example2.com/admin.php';
$assign_to_config['site_url'] = 'https://www.example2.com/';

I am still having the freezing issues, including logging into admin.php.  I have also tried removing the s in https in the index.php file.  It still had freezing problems.  I did not try to login to admin.php since it would submit form data unencrypted.

Thanks for any ideas

Hi funnEE,

It may be best if we come in for a closer look. Be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab!

Also, make sure you have the latest MSM installed, version 2.1.3. Thanks!
