Hello;

I changed domain for my site, but I cannot login anymore. What should I do to normally login on new main domain?

Added 3 hours later:

It's quite urgent so please respond. I'm using newest Siena

Added 19 minutes later:

OK, found it out. I had to manually set in the database the cache variables for main url and cookie domain.

For those who will need it in future, here is what you should do if you have changed a domain:

  1. Open datas/config.php and change $cfg['mainurl'].
  2. Open phpMyAdmin, change the cookiedomain config in cot_config table:  
    UPDATE `cot_config` SET `config_value` = 'mynewdomain.com' WHERE `config_name` = 'cookiedomain';
  3. In phpMyAdmin, clear the cot_cache table: 
    TRUNCATE TABLE `cot_cache`;

     

May the Source be with you!

The funny thing is that in my config settings I didn't have the cookie domain set (there was a blank field) - it was written only in cache :) That's why i was quite confused.
