Vb3 Intergration - Installed, can't stay logged in.

[EAPhoto]

I just went through reading all the FAQs about this and I still can't seem to get it right. I just installed photopost and intergrated it with VB3.5.1 and I'm able to login on the top bar, and it works. But then when I click Admin and try to login there, it logs me out. I can't get to the admin panel.

I added this code into the config-inc.php

$cookie_path = "/";
$cookie_domain = "";
$cookieprefix="bb";

And I made sure that it's the same in my VB3. I also checked to see if the vb license was the same, and that's fine too.

Is there anything else I'm missing. I really need this to work. Thanks for your help in advance.

Photopost stores its cookie information in the database. Only Photopost 5.2 and above is compatible with Vb 3.5 so if your running an old photopost you need to upgrade.

I am using the most up to date one, we bought it yesterday. I am using 2 seperate databases for VB3 and Photopost.

Now what? Thanks.

well the cookie settings are in the database settings table of Photopost settings 171-173 not the config-inc.php file

You can use phpmyadmin to correct this or rerun install and make sure to enter the cookie prefix

I would suggest that you change the cookie domain in both PP and Vb to .mydomain.com

Note the "." at the beginning and change "mydomain.com" to the domain of your web site.

Yep nice one Hobby I always tell people this as well.

.domain.com makes the cookie usable on every subdomain whether its www or whatever

which file chuck??

[Chuck S]

That would not be a file

As noted in my reply you would use phpmyadmin to view the photopost settings table and correct settings 171-173 to the proper cookie settings
