If you don't need sessions than keep <code>session_start()</code> commented. At the moment i don't know how to limit session cookie to a domain (as this cookie is not set from set_cookie() function), I think there must be some configuration to tell domain of the session cookie. Please try to set cookie "PHPSESSID" via set_cookie function and give domain param as www.mywebsite.com before the session_start, I am not sure if it will work but no harm in trying. @marc

So i created a static.mywebsite.com subdomain. I still see the message about cookieless domain in the "page speed" addon for mozzila. Weird since i dont set any cookies on my website? I do use a session. Commenting the session_start() in the beginning of my php script removes the "cookieless domain" warning. Un-commenting session_start() in my php script results in giving me the freakin warning again. Seems like a session is setting cookies too??? I dont get it. Can anyone explain this to me? And what should i do to fix it? Greetings, Marc Hello,

In this way you images will be available from both (main and subdomain) so you new images will be moved to subdomain and old files will still accessible. Another method will be to rewrite old urls to new domain through .htaccess. If you are using linux machine you can overcome this issue by using soft links.

I ran into lots of articles to serve static content from a cookieless domain , but this one seems to be the easiest for me to follow. I am using vbulletin software , although I do not know where to find this PHP function , but it should be there some where. now I am facing two issues here : the first one is that I have to move files physically to their proper subdomain folders right ? the second one is , I am wondering if I moved all images , css , java etc to a cookie-less sub domain , how do I overcome the issue of ( having posts around with the old images urls like ( www.mydomian.com/images/whatever.jpg ). cause I don't allow my community to upload images on any other server. Thank you again for sharing such useful article . Hi !

I ran into lots of articles to serve static content from a cookieless domain , but this one seems to be the easiest for me to follow.

I am using vbulletin software , although I do not know where to find this PHP function , but it should be there some where.

now I am facing two issues here :

the first one is that I have to move files physically to their proper subdomain folders right ?

the second one is , I am wondering if I moved all images , css , java etc to a cookie-less sub domain , how do I overcome the issue of ( having posts around with the old images urls like ( http://www.mydomian.com/images/whatever.jpg ).

cause I don’t allow my community to upload images on any other server.
