Login Issue

I have 200+ user complaints about login issues since I have install vBSEO.

I don't know where to begin to describe the issues, they all seem very random to me. Any help would be great

Here is my .htaccess

Code:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://hotcouponworld.com/forums/index.php

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>


# 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.hotcouponworld.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

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

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

Hello,

you should uncomment these lines:

Code:

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

(remove '#')

Thanks, before I do that I have .htaccess in both my root and my forums directory. Is this OK?

I have the permanent Redirect match, is that alright as well?

You should apply similar redirect from non-www domain in root .htaccess as well.

I am having similar problems, but I can give a little more details because it is even happening to me as the admin AFTER I LOGOUT:

1) i login on the homepage
2 i get the message, thank you for logging in
3) it then goes to the logon page saying im not logged in, may not have proper permissions etc.

This is happening to everyone who logs out. the only way I can regain access to the forum is by going thru the admin panel. please help!

Hello,

do you have non-www domain redirection in place?
