https redirect login problem

[pityocamptes]

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:

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=

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...

[ozzy47]

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

[pityocamptes]

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
