Not Able To Login without the WWW.

I'm having this problem with VBSEO, if you try to login thru http://domain.com/forum/
It will not work, it will say "thank you for logging in" and then redirects you to the the same http://domain.com/forum/

But if you just add the www. to the URL it will work, theres no need to login in again, you are already logged thanks to the first "failed" try.
If you go to http://www.domain.com/forum/ you will login normally, but if you remove in any moent the www., you will be asked to login again.

I just deactivated the VBSEO and the problem is gone.

Please help!

Thanks!!

Add this to the .htaccess in your SITE root:

Code:

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

And add this to the top of the .htaccess in your FORUM root, under the RewriteEngine On line:

Code:

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

This will ensure that everyone visiting your site is using www.domain.com and not domain.com. (Which is what you want for better SEO anyway; a single URL.)

Impressive tech support!!

Fixed!!!

Thanks a lot!!!

FYI - I had this exact same problem after my webhost upgraded to Apache 1.3.36 on my server tonight.

Turning vBSEO off fixed the problem ... so we figured it was something about the vBSEO config interacting with the new Apache config.

The solution suggested worked perfectly.

Might want to write a FAQ, and perhaps make that the default config for the htaccess file ?

The FAQ entry is a great idea, but we cannot make it default in .htaccess file since everyone have their own domain names.
