Login redirect wrong url

[erikp]

Hi!

Once I login into my vbulletin board, it says I am logged in successfully but the redirect takes me to an alternative url to my board, which renders the cookies useless. How do I change this?

e.g. I go to community.mycompany.com, login and am redirected to alternativeservername.mycompany.com. How do I tell vbulletin that I need to be redirected to community.mycompany.com?

More specifically, I looked at the code and it is the $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] variable that contains the wrong information. How do I change this thing? Where is it set? Can I override it?

Thanks!!

admincp --> Cookies and HTTP Header Options --> cookie domain --> use custom setting

use .mycompany.com

make sure to add the preceeding dot.

thanks for the suggestion,

actually I want to get rid of the second url altogether (I don't just want to allow it, I also don't want any links to show up anywhere)

Secondly, the 2nd name is not of the form xxx.mycompany.com but totally different (eg xx.myothercompany.com)

I tried searching in the sourcecode but I just can't find where that $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] is defined..

Provide a link to your site, might help, also set up a test account for use.

At last I found the problem. Due to some complicated proxy problem, the $_SERVER['hostname'] became the second name and that is used in the redirection meganism of vbulletin. Makes me wonder why this hostname is used anyway.... why not make the urls relative?
