I have a website at lets say - abc.com
Whenever, a user hits abc.com, I redirect him (using an index.php) to abc.com/home.php. Now a user can login on this page, and go around with his work.
Problem comes, when someone explicitly types www.abc.com in a new tab, the code still works and he is still being redirected, but the user is treated as non loggedin user. even though he just logged in earlier in a previous tab.
I don't know the cause of this problem, and how can I resolve this. I do know that my servers have virtual hosts setup in apache that direct my requests to /var/www/html/abc
Can I solve this by htaccess redirect? Or do I have to make changes in my virtual host settings?
EDIT
Solution at - Allow php sessions to carry over to subdomains
Dont forget to close your browser and open it again, after you restart your server after making change in php.ini

I got a huge redirect problem, I set up a sub-domain
http://subdomain.myspace.com/
and copied a project over as well. Owned it, set chmod particular on 777 so me and the Designers can work on this one, this works fine. Problem is now, whenever I call the URL of this sub it redirects me to the
http://www.originalsite.de
original Site. Even when I take out the .htaccess AND replace the index.php, which is a hard way to go for it, it redirects me. For this is by far not the first time I do this, what makes me even more surprised. But what kind of redirect can this be?
No redirect via .htaccess nor via index.php. I know there's no code but the company I'm working at won't allow me to post the code.
I hope anyone can help.
There is not enough information on your setup to determine the cause of the redirect but i have a guess. If you have ruled out all the possible scenarios of a redirect being in existense (i.e. Htaccess, php etc) then check your caching. Chrome and Firefox sometimes cache dns and http requests.
Try the following:
Open an "incognito" window in chrome or "Private" in firefox, and try loading your subdomain.
If it still redirects, then you still have a hard redirect somewhere hidden (Perhaps in myspace settings)
If this works and does not redirect, then it's my guess above with caching (Clear everything and you should be fine - Plus disable prediction and navigation errors correction in your chrome settings)
Hope this helps
I have a drupal site connected to another non-drupal site. (All php) They have Single sign-on. Some info is stored in a cookie. So when a user signs in in the Drupal site and clicks the link to the other site he is automatically signed in in the next site. The new (or existing) user gets generated (or updated) automatically every time.
Now the problem:
Somehow some of my changes to a couple of pages regarding this authentication are ignored when I use the HTTPS:// link. It looks like it keeps checking the old files... Like they are stored in a hidden place? When I change to HTTP:// suddenly it takes the new modified files...
And it only happens to files about the authentication process. All my other commits to other parts of the second website work like normal. Just these couple of authentication files get ignored.
Does anybody knows why https behaves like this?
Could this be server caching or php caching ?
I'm going to post the answer to my own question so hopefully I can help someone else with a similar problem.
There were 2 files with the same name.
The HTTPS login file was in the private_html folder.
the http login file was in the public_html folder.
They both had the same name. So when I updated the http file and pushed it to the server, the https login file stayed untouched. And since the https login file was not in the git repository I couldn't find it locally, but only on the server...
Problem solved, so no caching problems at all.
I am really new to Drupal and playing around with this existing Drupal site.
I did a FTP transfer of all the files to my local computer directory. I currently got it on a Vagrant box and I can access the site via http://192.168.56.101/html.
I can do http://192.168.56.101/html/anything-but-user and it brings me to the proper area on the site. However I can't do localhost/html/user, because it redirects me to the website URL rather than the local URL.
I tried clearing the cache (with Drush). I scanned all files in the system and changed the web url to the local URL [not sure if I need to do any other command], and I can't seem to find anything in the .htaccess files that would lead me to this.
The href="/user I would greatly appreciate any advice or help in figuring out this solution.
--UPDATED
There was a module called "Secure Pages" that was causing the user and registration links to be locked and static to prevent redirects to phishing sites. I had to disable this module using "drush pm-disable securepages" in the terminal.
Some typical items you may want to check:
Check if you get the same problem using another browser. If with another browser it works, then it is pretty sure a cookie problem. To solve that, delete the cookie in the browser where you have the problem.
Make sure "clean urls" is enabled. Refer to "https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/165029/clean-url-leads-to-duplicate-url-after-migration-to-another-hosting/165044?s=1%7C3.9647#165044" for more details on that.
Make sure the value of "base_url" is set correctly (in your settings.php).
If module Secure Pages is enabled, then try to (at least temporary) disable that moduel to see if it helps.
Apparently, there was a mod called "SecurePages" that was causing the URLs to be static to prevent someone from changing them and redirecting users to a phishing site.
First
Let say that i have www.domain.com that are client site and user login and do all the thing that he want (site is main and he use POST method for login adn other things and HEADER redirect if login are success)
But i not want user to see original www.domain.com i want when they enter www.name.com/dashboard.php to see content from www.domain.com/dashboard.php but him URL bar to show www.name.com/dashboard.php ..and like this all other page that can have original www.domain.com
I found this site:
http://www.htmlremix.com/css/permanent-url-masking-for-mirroring-website-using-php-and-htaccess
Adn use script but when are entered user login detail noting happen!! Just home page reload.
I try everything that i think may be cause problem and not found how to solv it .. So please help me!!
Thanks Allot
P.S. If have some more good way that can i use also will help me!
that cant be achieve with a htaccess file.
You need different things.
possible solution could be:
apache mod proxy so you could proxy everything through that url.
the other way could be a php written some kind of proxy. Working with curl or and remote configured fopen.
But be careful to also send the post data and the cookies, otherwise the user session could not be handled if its cookie based.
If both domains are on the same server you could easily set this up with a vhost configuration in apache/nginx what ever you are using.
We built a website for a client using Wordpress. We used a testing server which always works well. Wordpress was hosted as a subdomain, i.e. http://wordpress.ourcompany.com. I have direct and full access to the server. In the etc/apache2/sites-available directory the file describing the site in question uses the final name http://clientsite.com as ServerName, our temporary subdomain (under which we have been building) is a ServerAlias.
When we were almost ready, we of course asked the client (who already had a website) for their domain login. We changed the DNS like always. It resolved, the site worked well. Although Wordpress kept redirecting (of course) to the subdomain-variant, we could enter the site with the full domain.
Now comes the culprit. I changed the Wordpress settings (siteurl and home) to match the new site. The front-end works brilliantly. However, the back-end is unreachable as long as the settings are in this way. The login page shows up, but just redirects back to itself. If I simply change the Wordpress settings (in the options table) I can log back in, but we want to rid the subdomain necessity (of course).
Things I've already tried (I'm not one to easily ask of your time):
Clear .htaccess
Clear my cache & cookies
Different computer, different browser etc.
Change only the home and not the blogurl value. Sadly, this corrupts some plug-ins
Remove all plugins
Comment some lines as instructed in the wp-login file
Naturally, everything I could find on codex.wordpress
Set the admin cookie path
So, brilliant collective mind that is Stack Overflow, what did I do wrong? DNS? Wordpress settings? Thank you in advance.
You need to go into the settings on the live server and change the URL's to the current site. You'll have to do this by accessing the database directly. It's the wp-options table, and there are 2 entries where the url's are the value. Update those. That should fix the looping.
I found an answer today : the user in the database didn't had the right permissions. You can look up in the error log if there are lines that indicates this.
I also had tried before : removing all content from htacess, reinstalling wordpress etc.
