Home link pointing to www. not just http://

Hi all, i signed up awhile ago, but until now i found all the answers i needed covered by previous threads

But i'm having a very minor problem, its not much a big deal, but i'd like to get it fixed if possible.

Basically, my 'home' link goes to http://mydomainname.com rather than http://www.mydomainname.com, and i'd like it to point to the latter

In /includes/configure.php i changed :
HTTP_SERVER
HTTPS_SERVER

In /admin/includes/configure.php i changed:
HTTP_SERVER
HTTPS_SERVER
HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER
HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER

So those then had the http://www. infront rather than just http://

After doing that, the home link pointed to the right thing, but the problem was, whenever i tried to login, it wouldn't do anything. It just went back to the home page without actually logging in..

I guess i need to change another thing but i can't figure out what that would be, can anyone help me with this?

Cheers

What are your Session Settings?

My session settings are :

Session directory - /var/www/vhosts/mydomainname.com/httpdocs/cache
Cookie Domain - True
Force Cookie Use - False
Check SSL Session ID - False
Check User Agent - False
Check IP Address - False
Prevent Spider Session - True
Recreate Session - True
IP to Host Conversion Status - True

I tried putting www. infront of the domain in the session directory, but it didnt change anything

Please post the includes/configure.php without your passwords.

Ok here it is :

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://ozminiatures.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ozminiatures.com');

Change the above lines to include the www. You will need to change your admin/includes/configure.php the same way.

Kim:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://ozminiatures.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ozminiatures.com');

Yeah that is what i originally did, and then the home link points to where i want it

But then the problem is, whenever i try to login as a customer, it just keeps going back to the main page without actually logging in, it doesn't say any error during logging in, it just doesnt seem to acknowledge that my user is now logged in

I'm thinking that maybe there is a file somewhere that i need to add a www. to, which directly works with whatever scripts deal with logging in or something, or maybe its a cache thing

nope,
the only place that the www. needs to be adjusted is the config files
I can get to the login page, please try resetting it again with the www. and lets see what happens

make sure to close your browser to clear any cache

Well i just changed the files back to include www.

And tried it with internet explorer, and now i can login and it actually sees that im logged in...

So yeah, i guess it was my browsers cache :blush:

Thanks for pointing that out! I can't believe i didn't think of it

Thanks again :D

glad that is solved
have a good night

Thanks for posting this thread...I was having the same problem, but figured I hadn't been the first one!:D
