I've installed vanilla for the first time on my server. Everything goes well until I try to sign in on the /people.php page. I can't login but there aren't any errors.
I've read all the posts and tried '.domain.com' for cookie_domain as well as ' ' and all other suggestions I could find -still can't sign in.
I'm guessing I'm having a problem because I've got a multiple website hosting plan and installed vanilla in a folder serving a domain other than my primary domain. (primarydomain.com/domain)
Any ideas on how to get things working from here. (I just want to test from here before moving to a dedicated host)

thanks in advance

you know, I tried that and every other combination I could think of for COOKIE_DOMAIN, COOKIE_PATH, WEB_ROOT, BASE_URL etc
it must be some combination of 2 or more settings that need to match for it to work

anyone else get it working in this type of setup?

I've got it on the same type of setup. Cookie domain should be the domain you access the forum through, and patch should be either '/' or the folder the forum is accessed through.

i.e. example.com/forum/ should have .example.com for the cookie domain, and /forum/ for the cookie path.
