Topic: Users need to connect twice

I'm using PunBB 1.2.17.
Most users need to connect and reconnect once before login is recognised.
What wrong did I do ?

Re: Users need to connect twice

What is the url to your site?

Thanks for your quick reply smile

Re: Users need to connect twice

I registered at your site and I only have to login once hmm

Re: Users need to connect twice

Thanks to have tried smile
But it seems only previously registered users (before 1.2.17) have this problem.
Maybe it's got something to do with "$cookie_seed" ?

Some say they also need to disconnect twice : first disconnection isn't recognized sad
I also got this once.

Re: Users need to connect twice

are you trying to login / out without the www. on some occasions?

Re: Users need to connect twice

Might that be important to use or not www. in the url ?

Re: Users need to connect twice

Yes. Inconsistency is the usual cause of these problems.

Thanks : I did inform my members about that smile
I will tell you if it does not solve my problem wink

Re: Users need to connect twice

You're better off fixing it, either by editing to cookie domain in config.php to .example.com (where example.com is your domain name) or automatically redirecting all traffic to either the version with the www. or without it (redirect is better than changing the cookie domain, since there are also SEO benefits).

Re: Users need to connect twice

I found the bug !
As Mark and you said, the key "o_base_url" in cache_config.php was wrong sad
I'm quite sure I have not changed it for few month, and it ran right before I changed to version 1.2.17...
But now I made the correct change in my admin page (cache_config.php) and it really seems OK.
Thanks to you all who have helped me smile

Re: Users need to connect twice

Cew27, if you have the same problem as TMuet does just delete file cache_config.php from directory <FORUM_ROOT>/cache/.
