https redirect login problem

In the back end I have this:

My forum url is : https://www.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Home Page URL is: https://www.XXXXXXXXXXXx

Both are exact.

However, I noticed when I just put www.XXXXXXXXXXXXX in the browser it goes to my index page like normal. However, when I tried to login, I would get a redirect error.

I changed the forum url to: http://www.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

and it seems to work now, as far as logging in. Was this correct to do, should I do something else? Thanks!

Perhaps this may help.

ACP --> Settings --> Options --> Site Name / URL / Contact Details --> Redirect Domain Whitelist --> enter erroring URL (no / at the end).

Have you added https redirects into .htaccess yet?

You'll probably want these lines:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]



RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Replace yoursite with your website URL. Switch your forum URLs back to https://www.

Try logging in now

Edit, ozzy's answer is the right one. Oops!!

Yours may work also, I just am not that familiar with htaccess rewrites.

Ok, I changed my htaccess should I change it back - take off what you said? Or leave it? Thanks. cause now I'm getting this:

https://www.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com/default.asp?r=

--------------- Added [DATE]1381801081[/DATE] at [TIME]1381801081[/TIME] ---------------

Well, I'm not sure what to put, because this is the error URL, which has a "/" at the end...

Invalid Redirect URL (https://www.XXXXXXXXX.com/)

--------------- Added [DATE]1381801186[/DATE] at [TIME]1381801186[/TIME] ---------------

Still getting the redirect error, even after doing what Ozzy said...

Ok, try adding the / at the end, that may work.

Nope, didnt work...

Weird if the forum url is http and the home page url is https I have no issues. Should it be that way, what exactly is the difference and should I be concerned about changing something else to get it to work? Thanks.

If you want to use HTTPS, then you should consistently use HTTPS (in the forum URL and homepage URL - same with www). This will just take some tweaking, but we'll get there :) Can you copy the exact redirect error you're getting?

Ok wait for someone more familiar with this type of thing then, sorry I could not be of more help. :(

Ok, I tried whynopadlock.com and got this error for the login page:

ERROR: The secure URL you submitted was redirected to:
http://www.XXXXXXX.com/forum.php

Please try pasting the secure URL you originally submitted into a new web browser window to make sure it stays on the secure page. Your secure page may require there to be items in a shopping cart, or for the user to be logged in. It may not be possible to test this URL.

Secure URL submitted: https://www.XXXXXXXXXXXX.com/login.php?do=login
