MSM Second Site not registering logged_in variable?

Question

I've been working on a few sites for a client. The first of which can log in and have the session variable as well as a the {logged_in} tag read just fine.

The second, it doesn't matter how I log in (CP successfully logs in, for example, or through freemember or even EE's native membership form), it doesn't seem to read the {if logged_in} tag. The session variable is also blank.

Config files are lined up as explained in the MSM guide, and data can be written to the DB through channel forms, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't get the login state. It's driving me nuts.

I've gone as far as stripping down to the following code to test, and still nothing:

{if logged_in}
    <?php
        $user_data = ee()->session->userdata("member_id");
        echo "UD: ".print_r($user_data,1);
    ?>
    YOU ARE LOGGED IN<Br><br>
    DEBUG<BR>
    Email: {email}<br>
    GR ID: {group_id}<Br>
    ID: {member_id}<br>
    Name: {username}<br>
    LIMID: {logged_in_member_id}

{/if}
{if logged_out}
    YOU AREN'T LOGGED IN
{/if}

Any ideas where to start looking for a solution?

Answer 1

You rockin' PHP on input our output for that template? Try just turning it off as well. Next, what EE version you running? Also, can you give me the output of this (when PHP is set to output for that template):

<?php 
$a = "{member_id}";
$b = "{logged_in}";
var_dump($a);
echo "<br/><br/>";
var_dump($b);
?>

Answer 2

check that you are actually logged into site #2

did you login at site1.com/admin.php or site2.com/admin.php?

Answer 3

Check you have different variables set under the cookie domain under cookie settings for each msm site...
