login (not really) problem

Hi,

meanwhile I have some launched some firstclass installations (from 1.2.6 to 1.2.8.). Working fine, without any problems, ...but sometimes I have to login 2 times. Why?
So I've upgrade a 1.2.6 to a 1.2.8. The 2.6 needs a "double login", in the 2.8 it's ok.
Otherwise, I've upgrade a 2.7 to a 2.8, in the 2.7 it neeeds no "dl", but now in the 2.8.

This "maybe problem" occurs the last years. Any reason??

Thank's

Burkhard

Hi,

please validate your conf.inc.php settings.

Those are normally the correct settings:

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms['site']              = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/';

// paths
$phpwcms['DOC_ROOT']          = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
And if you login at the second time, please have a look into your browser input line. :wink:

Regards Knut

code ok

I looked at the config file and those lines are as you typed them. I don't get any error message, like when I mistype my username or password. The login page simply reloads when I press the form button.

did you see this?

Browser input line:
First login:
http://www.example.com

Second login:
http://example.com

Please have a look into the browser input line before and after the first login.
Did you see the same addresses? :roll:

url issues

Holy cow they changed!?

It does as you say first url is without www :
http://firsttimesellers.com/phpWCMS/login.php

then when I press login, the page reloads and the url is:
http://www.firsttimesellers.com/phpWCMS/login.php

Why is this happening? And most importantly, is it easy to fix? Or do I just tolerate double login?

Thanks for your help by the way...

It is a apache configuration problem of your provider or the .htaccess.

My hint: DO the first login with http://www.fir......

Regards Knut :D

thanks for the hint!

That is actually an easy fix! It works!

I wouldn't know the first thing about Apache configurations. I was using the URL supplied by the Fantastico installation. It gave me the URL with no WWW. I've updated my bookmarks and it is now working properly!

You rock! Thanks a lot for your help! :)
