Q: I can log in but b2evolution asks me for my password again and again / my cookies don't hold.

A: In the file /conf/_config.php you have set an URL with a statement like this:

$baseurl = 'http://www.mysite.com';

Cookies will be set only for this URL and "its subfolders". So the trick is: use that URL to access b2evolution, not another one!

In the above, example it means that if your website address is 172.192.45.104 for example, you cannot log in on http://172.192.45.104/admin/, you must use http://www.mysite.com/admin/ !

For local tests, use

$baseurl = 'http://localhost';

If it wasn't working, and then you found and corrected the problem according to what you see here, but it still doesn't work, then in some cases you may have to clear out your cache/cookies/temporary internet files before it starts working.

Q: I am trying to upload files / generate static pages / creating new blogs but I get file permission denied errors.
