(resolved) Have to keep logging in

Recommended Posts

I don't know why this is, but I'm checking into it. I'm having a different log in problem. When I click on a link from an email the site is automatically logging me in as "admin". Grrr... I'll get back to you, Mike!

Mike, I may know what your problem is, because I experienced it, too.

I had bookmarked www.leatherworker.net. Everytime I visited the site, the front page would tell me to log in, but the forum pages (and all second tier pages) would say Welcome, abn.

Try changing your bookmark to leatherworker.net (without the www). That fixed it for me. Hope it works for you, too. :)

ABN, I think you are onto something.... I have http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.php bookmarked and it asks me to log in, but I removed the www like you said and the page opens without me having to log in....

Thank you. I will try that. I have just been using it from the history. We'll see how it works. If www.leatherworker.net and leatherworker.net are not the same, is there a DNS problem???

You may have the old ones in your cache. A possible fix (if you are using Windows) is to open a Command Prompt (usually in Accesories) and type in the following:

ipconfig /flushdns

This will flush the dns cache and should correct possible issues with any dual DNS entries.

Regards,

Ben

If this server is anything like the server I have my site on, it isnt a dns issue, it is a index issue... for some reason, the index on my site is htm when you go directly to it, but if you go www to my site i had to create a different index as an html (or vice versa... been awhile since I had to do this...).

For the love of all things bovine, while touching cows, Beaverslayer, do not let the hat tilt, tip, or >aarrgghhh< fall off.

Alex, I don't know why removing the www works, but I took it out of my bookmarks (rightclick, properties then edit) and now the links are acting right. Ben's idea to flush the cache is a good one.

Mike, did editing the www help with your situation?

Oh wise and omnipotent gurus of leather computers, thank you. I dropped the dub, dub, dub and it works. Haven't found the flush handle on my pc yet.

I think it's fixed now, Freak. Following Alex's line of reasoning, I deleted the www. from the link. I have no idea why this works, but it does, doesn't it?
