You guys and gals do a great job by the way.

I installed bbPress 1.06Beta and WP 2.7.1 on a GoDaddy server with PHP5.x and mySQL5. The WP blog is in the root directory and bbPress is under it in /forums/ directory. I followed the integration videocast exactly and everything ran smoothly. Except for the life of me I can not figure out why the cookies are not working. The only thing I can see irregular, is that one will log me out of the other. And this is what I put in the bb-config.

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mysite.com’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

Double check your AUTH/Secure etc keys in each config file to make sure they’re exactly the same.

In fact, copy the ones from WP into BB and manually add in the ‘BB_’ in the name.

Also, in wp-config you should have

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mysite.com');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

But in bb-config it’s part of the WP cookie speed up so:

$bb->cookiedomain = '.mysite.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Still does the same thing. I can log into both but they log each other out. Here’s my quick settings. Do they look right?

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.mysite.com';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.mysite.com';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.mysite.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';

$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/wp-admin';

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/wp-content/plugins';

Looks okay… Did you dump all the cookies for your site from your browser? Which I realize is a standard debugging thing for this stuff but still should be said and not thought

Did it a million times. Is there anything else I can show you to troubleshoot? I really really want to make this work.

[@kahnoya Member 15 years, 9 months ago]

SOLVED!

After troubleshooting this problem for the last 24 hours, I noticed in the screencast that sambauers installed WordPress 2.7.0 and not 2.7.1 the most updated version to this date. So I did a fresh install with WP 2.7.0 and bbPress 1.06 Alpha exactly the way he said. AND IT WORKED ON THE FIRST TRY!
