Expired password problem

[pigal]

Activating the option to expire pwd and entering as a user get the message vBulletin page where you described this: password expired as used by 180 days, but all the links that gives me to restore it are wrong because the url 'is without /vbulletin/, then the link is http://www.mysite.com/profile.php?do=editpassword instead of the right http://www.mysite.com/vbulletin/prof...o=editpassword .

Seems a problem of redirecting, but I don't know where!

Check the settings in your vBulletin Options for the Site URL make sure they have all been set correctly.

Umm, all others redirecting are ok, only this.
I've changed the option Url forum and Url Index in http://www.mysite.com/vbulletin, but the problem remain.

The address $url e $js_url are ok, in all others cases, admincp redirecting too, but in case of a notice of passwords expired, it redirects at root of the site.

It seems to me a structural problem, (a bug).

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.

Hi Marco, nothing to do, the error remain in wrong redirection, I've manual changed vbulletin-style.xml in this part, STANDARD_REDIRECT:

from

In vbulletin-style.xml on line 24944:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />

{
timeout -= 1;
}
else
{
clearTimeout(timerID);
window.status = "";
window.location = "$js_url";
}
}

var myvar = "";
var timeout = 20;
exec_refresh();

</script>

changed to

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=http://test.mysite.com/vbulletin/" />
</noscript>

<script type="text/javascript">

window.status = "";
window.location = "http://test.mysite.com/vbulletin/";
}
}

var myvar = "";
var timeout = 20;
exec_refresh();
//-->

Now work, but I consider that not is good patch.

You might want to address this in a ticket on vB.com, i have never seen this link wrong with the correct Forum URL set and using the default package.
