i have one mysql database sharing between two blogs via serendipity (obviously). both databases have separate user accounts with full access to their respective databases. all is working well with one blog. however, the second blog is not picking up the content. the database contains all the necessary tables and the entries table has the content i attempted to update with. its basically not picked up the content from the database and displaying it correctly. has anyone ran into this setup and problem?

i'm noticing this between using firefox and IE. firefox will not allow me to log into one database but will to the other. i must use IE. also, when viewing my blog i get no content. however, when i log in via IE, i can see the content when i go back to the weblog.

It's a bit of an odd problem. First off, with two blogs in the same database, you must ensure that they're using separate prefixes. The simple install chooses the prefix "serendipity_" every time. However, since it's working in IE, that's probably not the problem.

So, have you tried clearing your browser cache by pressing shift-reload in Firefox? If the blogs aren't on subdomains, the browser cache can cause all sorts of weird problems.

If you're using Firefox 3, the autofill capability can mess up configuration items in the backend, such as logging in to databases. Make sure you re-enter the data each time, or turn off autofill altogether.

so things just got very interesting.

i am at work and seem to login w/o issue on both blogs via firefox. i just made a post and logged out. i can now see the post were as before, the content was not there.

--------------

as for the database, they both of separate database names. once is called "ii" and is prefixed with "ii_" and the other is called "solaris" and prefixed with "solaris_"

i've got to think this is definitely something local on my machine at home. not sure what. i would have to say off the top of my head, my work computer excepts all cookies were as my machine at home does not. i am using firefox 2.0 both at work and home.

i'll try and clear out cache again.

Hi!

Aren't you the same person who already posted about this problem:

http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=13251&start=15

Why open a new thread? We are already on it on the other thread...and I suppose it's realted to your domain's cookies. Check if your PHP installation has its own cookie.domain path set, and what the HTTP headers exactly look like, probably your HTTP cookie is not bound to your proper subdomain.

Garvin

yea... the thread is getting lengthy and the original post is now becoming very different from what i am experiencing.

garvin - i'm posting this for others to see as well. lets keep the rest in forum.

this is what i've found:

i've got to think its a cookie issue. i've allowed all cookies to be placed by ignorantinc.com domain. so my discoveries are as follows:

1. i cleared all cache from firefox.
2. opened solaris.ignorantinc.com
3. attempted to sign in.
4. found same issue being looped back to login screen.
5. checked cookies and noticed only one cookie called PHPSESSID.
6. cleared cache and cookies again
7. opened www.ignorantinc.com/www/blog
8. logged in and found several more cookies:
__utma, __utmc, __tumz, serendipity[userDefLan], serendipit[old_session], PHPSSESSID, serendipity[author_token] and __utmb.

i've got to think the combination of all of these cookies is whats not happening on my local computer. like i said before, i'm never prompted for cookie management at work (as i don't care about that) but i do manage all cookies on my local computer. again, i allowed all cookies to be set in firefox for ignorantinc.com.
