Put this in conf/_advanced.php at the very end

$cookie_domain = '.yourdomain.tld';

Now when I click the login button, it tells me I'm already logged in. Logged out and cleared cookies, then tried logging back in. It still doesn't show me as logged in on the subdomain, but gives me the message that I'm already logged in on the login form page.

Try changing the instance name again

That didn't help either. Now the login page just says 'You need to accept cookies'. I can login to the back office from there, and I show being logged in on the blogs on the main domain, just not the subdomain.

It should work with this

$cookie_path = '/';

that gives me this message:

"WARNING: you are trying to log in to http://jateshi.dubird.net/index.php but your cookie domain is /. You will not be able to successfully log in to the requested domain until you fix your cookie domain in your b2evolution configuration. "

Still not finding a solution to this, so bumping in case someone else can help.

I'm out of ideas :(

I installed my blog into a sub domain and also had problems logging in. I finally came up with this solution:

1. Located in the file "config" is "_advanced.php"

2. Open and scroll down to: / ** Cookies **

3. Look carefully for:

{ // Use the basehost as it is:
$cookie_domain = $baseurl;
}

4. Change to:

{ // Use the basehost as it is:
$cookie_domain = yourdomain/subdomain;
}

And save file.

!Important: do not place / after your sub domain

This worked for me. Hope it can help out someone else!

Based on your post, your problem is probably due to having the wrong $baseurl in /conf/_basic_config.php ?

Sounds like you have it as "domain.tld" instead of "sub.domain.tld" ?

The problem with that is that it's only one blog that's going on a subdomain. The rest are on the main domain. So would that even work then?

I am going to reinstall it under just the base domain as soon as I get a few other things worked out, would that help?

You don't need to reinstall, just move the files and edit $base_url in conf/basic_config.php

Well, yes, that's what I mean. Still have to organize things and make a skin so it can be my main page. But will that help the subdomain cookie problem?

But will that help the subdomain cookie problem?

Do you mean moving blog from subdirectory one level up? I don't know :) Try it

To make cookies work on your subdomain you need to set the host as ".domain.tld" and the path to "/" .. chances are you also need to change $instance_name to force new cookies

Just a followup (in case someone else has this problem):

Finally moved everything to the base directory and am using b2 as my main site content. Adjusted the config file and the index file on the subdomain, and it actually seems to be working for a change. At least, I can go to the subdomain and see the b2 menu bar when i'm logged in, so I'm guessing it's working now. ^_^;
