XF 1.4 You Must Be Logged In

[Grizzly Adam]

Some users are complaining that if they do not check the "stay logged in" button when they access the notification or conversation pulldowns it tells them that they need to be logged in. We recently relocated to a new server, that may be related.

Your site is available via the www and non-www URL.

You need to force it to one or the other.

Here is my .httaccess, any suggestions?

# Proxy rules for BaseKit site: "firewoodhoardersclub.com"

This one redirect the homepage only. How do I make it site wide?

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

This one redirect the homepage only. How do I make it site wide?

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

That does make it site wide.

 

[Grizzly Adam]

Try it on my site. It's not working.

 

[Martok]

Try these instead:

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

or

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

 

[Grizzly Adam]

Both behave the same as the other one. Still have two sites.

 

[Martok]

I notice that you have your forum in a subfolder called /forums. Just checking that you do have your .htaccess file in the root directory and not the forums directory?

 

[Grizzly Adam]

.htaccess is in the root.

 

[TPerry]

.htaccess is in the root.

If you have it in a subdirectory off root, then your .htaccess needs to be in that one.

 

[Grizzly Adam]

If you have it in a subdirectory off root, then your .htaccess needs to be in that one.

Thanks. If I put www in front of any address it takes me to the home page. Is this how they are supposed to work?

 

[TPerry]

Depends on how it's set up... you can either set it up so that all requests go to the www site or that all requests are stripped of any www prefix and goes to the site (which is what I do on all my forums).

 

[Grizzly Adam]

That's what I would like to do. Please advise.

 

[TPerry]

That's what I would like to do. Please advise.

Looks like you have it working.. just hit the site with a www. prefix and it stripped it.
That rewrite needs to be the first rewrite in your .htaccess that you are using.

 

[Grizzly Adam]

It is converting addresses such as: http://www.firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/new-host.7427/page-4#post-181343 to http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/home/#post-181343

 

[TPerry]

The latter is a working link... when I try to click on your first one it gives a link that looks like
firewoodhoardersclub.com%24/#post-181343 (notice the %24 in the link).

I don't exactly understand what the problem is. The second should be correct as a link (as the www is stripped). You have another problem in your rewrite somewhere that is inserting that %24 part of a link.

Post your full .htaccess you have in your /forum directory here.

 

[Grizzly Adam]

It is now just dropping only the /forums portion of the url. http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/whats-your-temp-what-ya-burnin-14-15.6742/

I don't see any redirection, but if you're inside the forums directory, your redirect may need to be:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
