If I try to login to my site with the full URL http://www.domain.co.uk it fails.

The error message I get is

http://domain.co.uk

You are not authorized to view this resource.

If I start with http://domain.co.uk and login it works OK

The system is

PHP 4.4.2 built on Linux
Apache 1.3.36
Joomla! 1.0.10 Stable

Once you have clicked OK and you try to login it does nothing.

Any help on this would be much appreciated as I have been pulling my hair out and I'm getting rather bald.

Try changing your $Moscofig_livesite parameter in configuration.php to http://www.domain.co.uk

or you can redirect all www. requests to non-www. requests.  this is also better because it means that only the non-www. will be indexed by search engines, not both non-www. and www. sites.

To redirect from a www. prefixed page on your website to a non-www. prefixed page simply add this to or create a .htaccess file in the root of your Joomla! installation if you on a server with Apache installed.

Not using Joomla! SEO/SEF:
Create/add this code to a .htaccess file in the joomla! root folder.

Code: Select all

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

Using Joomla! SEO/SEF:
Add the following code to the end of your .htaccess file.

Code: Select all

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

PLEASE NOTE: For this to fully work your $mos_live_site must have the non-www. address.  To change it, (download the configuration.php to your computer if you've updated it online) and look for $mosConfig_live_site at the start of the line (line 44 by default).  Change the address between the quotes and upload this file.

Spot On

That did the trick

Thanks

That has been driving me insane!  I didn't even realize I was using www instead of non-www every time I tried to login lately and couldn't figure out why I couldn't login to my front end!  Blah!

Thanks for this thread!  Worked like a charm
