problems staying logged in, hey Options

[kuya1284]

I'm experiencing this problem now as well here at work and at home. Like the others, whenever I go directly to http://www.6gc.net/forums, I'm not logged in. When I go to the main site first, then click forums, then I'm logged in.

The only thing that I can think of is that the code in the main 6gc.net index page is grabbing the cookie information. When going directly to the forums, cookie information isn't getting grabbed by the session handler.

I FOUND THE PROBLEM. This should be an easy fix.

When you enter

http://www.6gc.net/forums (WITHOUT THE TRAILING FORWARD SLASH)

you WILL NOT be logged in to the forums.

If you enter the following in the address bar:

http://www.6gc.net/forums/ (WITH THE TRAILING FORWARD SLASH)

you WILL be logged in.

This should be an easy fix, and may be something in the cfg file. Cooms... let me know if it works.

I get auto-logged in regardless of whether I go to http://www.6gc.net/forums or http://www.6gc.net/forums/. It might have something to do with the request being redirected when going to http://www.6gc.net/forums though.

When someone goes to http://www.6gc.net/forums, the web server would interpret that as http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=forums&itu= due to the mod_rewrite rules that I have in place in my .htaccess file. This is so that people can access things like member profiles by going to http://www.6gc.net/members/1.

However, I have a line before that rule which takes the url http://www.6gc.net/forums and redirects the user to http://www.6gc.net/forums/. This may be what is causing the problem, although since I can't duplicate the problem myself, it's next to impossible for me to fix.

Very interesting...in IE6/Win2k I managed to come across the problem when going to the url without the trailing slash like you said. Hopefully it's an issue with my .htaccess file that's fixable, which I'll take a look at when I get to work today. I left my laptop there yesterday, and that computer has my login information for the server that 6G Celicas is running on. This computer doesn't have that information yet, since I just re-formatted a couple days ago.

If I can't figure it out, I'll send you the code for the .htaccess file. It's just that code, and then the Invision Board 1.2 Final code.

Cooms... I just noticed something else. When I go to

http://www.6gc.net/forums

I get redirected to

http://6gc.net/forums/


When I go to

http://www.6gc.net/forums/

I don't get redirected, as you stated above. Can you try changing the redirect in the index so that it goes to http://www.6gc.net/forums/ instead of http://6gc.net/forums/ ?
