Users have to login 3 times to be seen as "member"

ktaylor · #1 06-03-2007, 01:42 AM

I'm not quite sure what the problem is but i loaded on vbseo and since them, my users have to login 3-4 times before the forum recognizes them as members.

Anyone else having this problem? I did the whole redirect thing but may not have understood the actual redirect, i don't know...

My forums are located at www.jetgirls.net/forums (location of main files) but i have a forwarding alias setup at forums.jetgirls.net

is this what the problem is or what could it be? i've already asked them to clear all cookies and to make sure they click the "remember me" box. yet, still having this problem.

I've already reverted everything in my style, so i know it's not my style.. only other thing i can do is take all hacks off, but i did not have this problem before installing vbseo.

Please help.

Thanks!
Kristie

Hello,

you should setup 301 redirect form forums.jetgirls.net subdomain to Jetgirls.net as described in 301 Redirecting Domains

I did that.. but i'm wondering if i did it wrong? the thread really doesn't say how to redirect forums.xxx.net, so i really wasn't sure if i did it right.

here's the code i put in

Quote:

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

my entire htaccess is this.

Quote:

# 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\.jetgirls\.net
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jetgirls.net/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
#RewriteRule ^forum/(.*) http://www.jetgirls.net/$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]

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

oh wait... i think i know what's wrong.. it's the little # sign in front isnt' it. gosh sometimes i feel so blonde! hahaha

is there anything else in the htaccess that i should be paying special attention to and/or fix?

edit: or should the actual code be this?

Quote:

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

I guess i need to look up what each portion of the code actually means cuz i just don't understand it.

Hello,

that code is correct *in case if your main domain is forums.jetgirls.net*.

But if your main domain is www. jetgirls.net you should use:

Code:

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