sessions lost if 'www' removed from URL - El Forum - 05-24-2009

Hello,
I just discovered that if I change the url of my website from http://www.mysite.com to http://mysite.com that none of my session data is retained?
How can I fix this error?
Thanks for any info.

This is because www.site.com and site.com are considered to be 2 differant websites
To get around this, you can use .htaccess to always force the same version (always with or without the www)
I can't remember what it is off the top of my head, so you'l have the search for it

Adding this to the end of your .htaccess should do the job
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]Of course, if you have
Code:
[L]
