This is to fix the problem where users keep getting logged out.
http://www.domain.com/forum shows users logged in (correct)
http://domain.com/forum shows users logged out even though they are logged in
So I would like to set up my server somehow to permanently redirect http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com and that will fix the problem for me.
Is this possible and can someone help me do it?
Thanks 
Mark
Did I not say your problem was related to the cookie path? There is cartloads of info on here regarding the subject.
if (strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.' ) === false)
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit();
}At the beginning of your config file, I guess.

I have not found a discussion that details how to fix the login problem 
I don't know how to edit cookies either.
Cheers for that Garciat, do you mean my punbb config.php file? or is there a config file for my server somewhere do you think?
Yes, your PunBB config file. (It will only work for your forum)

It's there somewhere. It may be the correct search terms that are hard to find. 
Anyhows, if you do a 301, (only do that if you want www.[domain] permanently redirected to .[domain]), you'd be better off doing it correctly via the httpd server itself. Apache does it via htaccess, I believe. If you want a non permanent redirect, (i.e: the client will recheck the redirect upon every visit), then don't use 301. I believe, (though you had best double check), that a 302 is the code for that scenario.
Cheers for this
I'll try Garciat's suggestion first.
Garciat I tried that code at the front of my config.php file and got the following error when trying to view the forum
if (strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.' ) === false) { header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently'); header('Location: http://www' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); exit(); }

Then try at the front of 'include/common.php'.
Btw, the previous code I gave was crap. Use this:
if (strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.' ) === false)
{
header('HTTP/1.1 302 Found');
header('Location: http://www.' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit;
}Cheers
But using the new code and adding to the front of the common.php file, this time I get....
if (strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.' ) === false) { header('HTTP/1.1 302 Found'); header('Location: http://www.' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); exit; }

Smashing, thanks a lot Garciat, this should help a few people for certain.
