Hi:

I wanted to integrate cpg132 with ipb2.0.  I found my CPG132's cookie domain is always set to www.mydomain.com, and my ipb20's cookie domain is mydomain.com.  I can change my ipb20's cookie domain to www.mydomain.com.  However, I am just wondering if there is a way to change CPG132's cookie domain from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com?

Thanks in advance!

I was access my gallery from this URL: http://www.campgroundcanada.com/gallery
If I access my gallery from the url without www (e.g. http://campgroundcanada.com/gallery), then my cookie domain is campgroundcanada.com
Why this happened?  Where can I check if my cookie domain setting for CPG is correct?

Thanks

Coppermine doesn't use a domain identifier, just a domain path, which is set to / by default.  If you access your site without the www you have a different cookie.  I believe you can redirect all requests that don't have www to your www site to avoid this problem.  This is possible using a htaccess file, if you are using Apache.  There may be a post about this on our forums, but if not you can always Google for htaccess mod_rewrite redirect.

kegobeer is right (as always ) - coppermine doesn't set the cookie domain. You've just found out the basic way cookies work on the internet. Your screenshot is taken from the cookie section of IE as far as I can see - do you trust M$ to provide accurate information anyway ?
When accessing your site with a good browser this is what I see as cookie information:

Cookie Information - http://www.campgroundcanada.com/gallery/

Can you see any reference to "cookie domain"? I can't.

my screenshot was from Mozilla's cookie manager :-)
Well, I believe everybody's IPB2.0's cookie domain name is .domain.com, and it works with cpg very well.  My ipb2.0's cookie must be set to www.domain.com in order to let cpg 1.3.2 work.  I think that is the problem.

actually no, afaik: .domain.tld means anything.domain.tld.
