# Cannot log in on Sandbox to install SharinPix - what should I do?

## Problem

When you try to install SharinPix on a **Salesforce Sandbox**, the installer/login page may automatically redirect you to your **Production** login screen instead of the Sandbox login screen. As a result, you can’t authenticate into the Sandbox to complete the installation.

## Cause

This usually happens because Salesforce defaults to the Production login domain, or your browser/session is already linked to a Production domain.

## Solution

1. **On the Salesforce login page** that appears during the installation process, click **Use Custom Domain**

2. **Enter your Sandbox custom domain** (for example: `yourcompany--sandboxname`) and continue.

3. You should now be **redirected to the Sandbox login screen**.
4. Enter your **Sandbox credentials** and log in to sandbox.

5. Once authenticated, you can **continue the SharinPix installation** normally by following the installation documentation: [*Install SharinPix from the App Exchange in a Sandbox*](/getting-started/basic-setup/basic-setup-steps-start-with-sharinpix-in-3-steps.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sharinpix.com/faqs/cannot-log-in-on-sandbox-to-install-sharinpix-what-should-i-do.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
