Login Being Blocked

I have uploaded Composr on two of my sites (OcPortal is in a folder behind the front page and the site links access both). Anyhow, when I attempt to work inside Composr, before long, it un-logs me and requires me to log back in. But then it refuses my login and claims that I am using someone else's id. This then starts happening on the OcPortal site as well. I am trying to find something in the configuration that makes that happen, but I haven't found it yet. What is my solution?

claims that I am using someone else's id

I doubt that's what Composr is saying so please give the specific error message so we can understand better. It might be something about cookies conflicting. Or it might be coming from somewhere other than Composr.

Normally Composr sites will not conflict with session cookies at least, because each site is given a randomised cookie name. However, if you somehow cloned one site to create the other, that could explain overlapping configuration.

The session cookie name is configured in _config.php and looks something like this:

Really you should also code each site to have its own cookie path. The default is the webroot, like:

But if you have multiple sites you may want to do like:
and

You would then need to clear out any existing cookies on your domain in your web browser to stop the conflict continuing.

Thanks, Chris, as I considered further, I think my main problem is trying to put Composr in the same website that contains OcPortal. I had not gone very far, so I think I will not try to do that. I will put Composr into a diffferent site.

As you suggest, the cookies are likely getting confused.

Thanks
