Lost session

Hi,

Although it's an old thread, I thought I should add something to it as I did come across this thread while looking for a solution to a similar problem.

Our resolution was different though.

It turns out that in CI's session library, by default a CI cookie for http://thedomain.com is not a cookie for http://www.thedomain.com.

We have run in this scenario where some people would login on the site through http://www.thedomain.com.

Then in some places of the site, they would be redirected to http://thedomain/something/ and find themselves logged out, which puzzled us for a while trying to solve it.

If that is your case you must modify the config file's cookie configuration to:

$config['cookie_domain'] = '.thedomain.com';

and problem solved.
