Log_In Problems

My members are having log in problems. First off last week we upgraded to 3.7.3 from 3.7.1 and last night we installed VBSEO. Since last night when a member comes to the site and logs in, they will get the "Thanks for logging in" screen but when it comes back to the main forum it does not look like they are logged in. But if you click on any forum or link on that page you will then show logged in. Could this be related to teh VBSEO install?

Please make sure you 301 redirect domain.com to www.domain.com [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

I am having exactly the same problems on a 3.7.3 ive tried that link also [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

However i noticed my members saying that http://mydomain.com/forum dosent work and returns a 404.

Wreckless did you manage to fix yours?

Hello ,

What is your .htaccess content on both domain root and forum folders ?

Inside root i have nothing but a few ip addresses being blocked:


Root:

<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
deny from 83.67.204.214
etc etc the list goes on
allow from all
</LIMIT>


Forum

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

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

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$
vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]


I also have my admincp htaccess protected.. i dont think thats causing an issue is it?

AdminCP

AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/me/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from my ip address
</Limit>


Any help would be much appreciated i am still stuck after installing it many days ado.. :(

It looks like you still didn't apply [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects . Please change your .htaccess content within forum root to

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /


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

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$
vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

I did this mate but still no hope... but im going to do it again so you can maybe check things out..?

Edit: i have internal server error now...

Please create a support ticket with a temporary ftp login as the above .htaccess should not create Internal Server error if there is something wrong.

Ive reverted back to the htaccess within vbseo's folder to fix the issue... however i already have an on going ticket 11689 but i think the support staff have given up on me... but i still havent given them ftp access though... shall i create another one so you can take a look at it?

Cheers

I have used the example uve given... this line was in two lines:

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$
vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

So i made it into one line so its working....

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$
vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Sorry for another reply, however Mert if you come to my forum and try:

http://mydomain.com/forum (without the www and the trailing slash at the end "/") you will see that it displays a 404 error....

However i am going to work now and will be back after 5 hours roughly around 10pm GMT, and many thanks for your help i look forward to your replies..
