Why do I have to login twice? Is there a blip in the system?

    *Apologies: I wasn't sure where to post this question! There is no 'general questions forum'*

    Can someone tell me why, 20% of the time, I have to login twice?

    It seems to be a blip in the system?

    I'll login typing in the correct username and password, and a few seconds later, I will be taken to the login screen again

    This happens both with the amember admin login + my end user logins

    Or is there a setting that is not correct on my hosting?

    Thanks

    Sounds like a hosting issue- maybe erasing your session info quickly.

    guys

    thanks for the replies

    "Sounds like a hosting issue- maybe erasing your session info quickly."

    do you mean to say 'erasing too quickly'?

    i haven't made any changes to the server or environment that i think would effect this
    + as i said: it only happens 20% of the time!
    when it does happen, if u give the correct login details, u get logged in fine

    let me know what u think

    thanks

    Hi omar,

    Check the URL you are are logging in from. Does it have "www", i.e. "www.yoursite.com" or just "yoursite.com"?

    You need to use the same URL address (either with "WWW" or without) throughout your entire site to ensure that your login cookies are registered correctly with aMember.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Cheers,
    Lee

    to prevent this in the future you can lock your site to one or the other via .htaccess using something like this in the root of your site.

    Code:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
