After signin forwarded to missing page

webdiva69

Ok when I go to my forum and click on a thread. Then click SIGN IN from that thread page, I am able ot login but then it tries to forward me to a page that doesn't exist. When I look at the URL it's forwarding me to /forum/forum/discussion/1941/sacred-geometry-in-dreams instead of /forum/discussion/1941/sacred-geometry-in-dreams

so it's adding an additional /forum to the URL as the after sign in Target URL. Any idea where this is happening? I'm using the Boostrap theme.

It is not forwarding you to a missing page, it is adding the forum root to the URL again . I have seen this before and it has been discussed before. Let me see if I can find the discussions for you.

I saw this issue too occasionally.

curious though can you post your .htaccess to see if it is correct.

also what version NUMBER of vanilla are you using?

it appears the signin link when viewing a discussion is a different target than the signin button in top left panel.

e.g. via signin link.

http://localhost/vanilla/entry/signin?Target=%2Fvanilla%2Fdiscussion%2F142%2Fperegrinepost

vs. button

 http://localhost/vanilla/entry/signin?Target=discussion%2F142%2Fpereginepost

I thought this was posted as issue or bug on github, but it may not be.

I wonder if the problem is with (non-popup signins).

It actually does forward me to an OOPS missing page message but i grabbed the URL prior to the forward to see why it was "missing" which is when I discovered the forum/forum I'll look and see if i can find where this is happening.

the problem the SiginUrl has forum in it

and the target has forum in it

and when they get appended it becomes /forum/forum

at least one line is here.

you still didn't post your .htaccess

htaccess

# Original
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   # Certain hosts may require the following line.
   # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
   # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
   # RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

what folder is Vanilla installed in?

make sure you modify .htaccess after every upgrade so it reflects the correct installation folder on the rewritebase line.

it won't solve the duplication, but it might solve the issue of 404 errors.

webdiva69

yeah didn't solve the problem still throwing me to forum/forum

are you having a problem with this signin link.

always good to show screenshots of what you are trying to solve

short of changing core to this and just going to signin without a target. I don't know, maybe @linc can suggest a fix, if the solution is not already in github.

'SignInUrl' => Url(SignInUrl()),
 'RegisterUrl' => Url(RegisterUrl()),
