XF 1.5 Sudden Logouts

[vFranky]

Hello,

some of our users are being logged off from XenForo sometimes when they browse our forum, although the repeatedly clicked "stay logged in". For example when they open a new window with a right click.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,
Frank

Hello Frank,

What browser are those users using?

 

[Steve F]

Are you able to access your site with www.yoursite.com and yoursite.com (without www)?

That is what I would check first.

 

[vFranky]

They use Firefox. One user states it might be a problem with HTML5 canvas image data for identification.

Are you able to access your site with www.yoursite.com and yoursite.com (without www)?

Yes, no problem.

Yes, no problem.

What Steve F means do www.yoursite.com and yoursite.com separately exist, or does one redirect to the other (e.g. www.yoursite.com redirects to yoursite.com or vice versa)?

If they separately exist (and I suspect this is the case) then you need to decide which one you want to use (either the www or non-www one) and set it so that the one you don't use redirects to the other one. See point 19 of the FAQ on how to do this.

Thank you very much.

I am using the www.yoursite.com, which is configured in XenForo. There is also a webserver configuration for yoursite.com which leads to the following htacces file =>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .+ http://www.yoursite.com/ [R=301,L]

Correct?

As it says in point 19 of the FAQ that I linked to:

Note that all servers are different and you may have to try several variations until you find one which works.

You'll therefore need to try the how to force www examples in that FAQ point until you find one that works for you.

I am using the www.yoursite.com

Try this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

add this code here:



After you make the change, clear your cache in your browser and exit the browser. Start browser and see if www is always forced.
