Session issue with and without www

[eluser]Arun Joshi[/eluser]
Hi,

Am facing a serious issue when the site went live. I have set base url as http://mysite.com. In this case everything working fine. But if we try http://www.mysite.com the session is not working. I think CI is using cookies store session values. So it may consider these as two different domains. Is this the issue? Is there any method to solve this situation.

Thanks
Arun

www. is treated as a subdomain of domain.com, so yes there are 2 distinct cookies .
In the config.php find the cookies section and fill it with the needed info, this will make your problem go away.

@Twisted1919,

Can u describe it more? which field to edit? is it $config['cookie_domain']?

If yes, what should be needed there? http://www.mysite.com or http://mysite.com ?

Please reply. Thanks in advance...

The following code is straight forward:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

.htaccess file at your domain root and it will work for the entire domain (including subfolders).

NOTE: You may need to change the /$1 to ?$1

Hi,

My current htaccess file is

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|uploads|ckeditor|photos|albums|books|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Then how to modify this?

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Did you try removing the /$1 and using a ?$1 instead?

@InsiteFX,

I want to redirect http://www.yourdomain.com to http://yourdomain.com.

So I think the rewrite rule is

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Then how to include my previous condition

Code:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|uploads|ckeditor|photos|albums|books|robots\.txt)

Actually am not familier with htaccess rules. Can u give me an htaccess which has the above rules?

[eluser]Arun Joshi[/eluser]
Can we add multiple rewrite conditions in a htaccess file?

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Yes you can

How to combine

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

and

Code:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|uploads|ckeditor|photos|albums|books|robots\.txt)

in a signle htaccess file?
