# 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)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
