I have a forum setup (MYSQL at godaddy.com) on a site as http://www.heritagenterprise.com/forum. The forum is uploaded on the website as a directory (forum) to which everything has been uploadedand seems to be working fine. I now want to be able to access the forum as a subdomain http://forum.heritagenterprise.com. I created the sub-domain forum.
I setup the url in the main forum options to point to http://forum.heritagenterprise.com but when I try to login from this url, I get the message that I have logged in successfully but then get redirected to the home page where I find that I have not been logged in, or maybe have been logged out again.
I read around in the forums that it may be a problem with cookies, so I deleted all cookies are re-tried, and the same thing happened. I also read in the forum that I might need a compact privacy policy, but I don't think this is the issue because IE doesn't show that cookies are being blocked.
The problems is definitely a cookie problem. That is a known situation, but I'm not sure about the solution, other than trying the compact privacy policy.
I continued reading a number of threads, it seems that most of them solved the issue by adding the following lines to the meta-header.
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""CP"" content=""OTI DSP COR LAW CURa ADMa DEVa TAIa OUR BUS IND UNI COM NAV INT"">" & vbNewline
This supposedly advises IE not to block 3rd party cookies.
However, it seems not to be working on mine. I don't get the blocked eye icon on IE (the one which means that a cookie was blocked), so I'm not sure the issue is strictly related to cookies.
Will I have to create a P3P using some editor such as the one by IBM ?
Any help or links to help would be much appreciated.
