wwwRedirect ?

[jossanaijr]

Hi,
I just started a new forum  and I created a index.php file to redirect from mysite to mysite/forum.  It is working but it is showing ".../forum/index.php?wwwRedirect" in the browse.  Why?

Thanks,

[!Hachi!]

why not use .htaccess to redirect or create redirection via cpanel?

This happens because your forum url has www. in it.  if you don't have subdomain independent cookies enabled, http://website.com and http://www.website.com are counted as seperate subdomains and the cookies wont work.

the wwwredirect detects this and corrects it and diverts the user to www.sitename.com
