Hi

Sorry if this is in the wrong place...

I'm using sessions to manage logged in users on my site.

If I log in at http://mysite.com everything works as normal, but when I go to http://www.mysite.com I'm treated as if I'm logged out and visa versa.

Can someone explain why this is happening and how to fix it?

Cheers

It's pretty easy really. The URL's 'mysite.com' and 'www.mysite.com' are not the same domain. They can be thanks to the way that most modern web servers are set up and most people think that they are interchangable, but they are not. As a normal thing, anything that's 'www.' is a sub-domain of 'mydomain.com'.

What this means is that they are considered to be separate. Your web server looks at sessions for the single domain, and won't "transfer" these settings to the other domain, because in reality they are not the same.

If you set the domain on your application's login cookie to ".mydomain.com" it will be sent to both domains.

If you weren't using cookies you wouldn't be having this problem. Session IDs are normally tracked using cookies.

Found this which sorts my problem - .htaccess rewrite rules

Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L


All explained at http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions...s+rewrite+rules
