I’m using cakephp version 2.8 , uploaded my code in inside a folder in named as app , app is a subdomain like [app.hello.com](http://app.hello.com). so after uploading my code inside this folder session stop working.  
I did not understand this , is this because I have directory now /public\_html/app/app/Config

It’s related to cookie domain and path. Clear cookies , then use some web browser extension to see what cookies were set and for what domain. I guess you set cookie for [app.hello.com](http://app.hello.com) and you try to delete cookie for [hello.com](http://hello.com) or the other way around. Then try to logout and check cookies again. If you do not find any good solution then hacking cake session handler will be last option to try.

Most modern webbrowsers (eg. Chrome and Firefox) come with this feature build in.
