Thread

I’m using EE 1.6.8, MSM turned off. I’m using mysite.com when referring to my domain since this is a private intranet.

My logout link uses the basic path=logout. I’ve checked the path it generates and it’s mysite.com/index.php?ACT=10, which from my forum reads, should be correct. All other paths within the site are working correctly.

The problem occurs when a logged in user clicks on logout. Instead of taking the user back to mysite.com/index.php, it adds /site/ to the url, so I get mysite.com/site/index.php. This results in a page not found error.

I’ve checked my field groups, weblog groups and site settings and I don’t see where /site/ is defined anywhere. I’ve also cleared my caches and browser. Finally, I’ve checked all my templates and I haven’t hard-coded /site/ into any paths.

Any ideas on why /site/ is being added to the logout redirection?

*Update* It appears the same issue occurs when a user logs in. I’ve made the site members-only. When a user logs in, they’re taken to mysite.com/site/index.php instead of mysite/index.php, which again throws the page not found error.

Any advice is very much appreciated!

Is that not your default template group? Are you using server side rewrites of any kind? What version and build of EE are you on?

By default, an EE url looks like http://example.com/index.php/group/template/. Logging in or out takes you to the “index” template of the default group.

Hi, Ingmar. Thanks for replying.

I’m using EE 1.6.8, build 20091202, commercial version.

My error with stating the correct path to my home page. My default home is /news/index.php.  I don’t have /site/ specified anywhere, nor do I have a template group called site.

Not using any SSI or outside scripting. It’s acting like there’s a setting somewhere that is overriding my default home.

If you go to:  Admin ›  System Preferences ›  General Configuration

What do you have listed for “URL to the root directory of your site” and “Name of your site’s index page”?

URL to the root directory of your site:  http://handgineers.mysite.com/

Name of your site’s index page:  index.php

galadan,

What’s in your path.php file?

You mentioned you are not using a htaccess or anything like that?

Here is what’s in my path.php. And nope, not using any htaccess or server-side stuff.

Also, if it will help, I can give you the login for my admin. Let me know and I’ll pm you the info.

<?php

$system_path = "./admin/";

$template_group = "";
$template = "";
$site_url = "";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

Ideally, we’d like to get this fixed, but in the mean time have you seen:

This thread points to a third party addon that allows you to specify where you are taken at login and logout.

Might that work?

Well I certainly feel like an idiot.  :/

I went through every control panel and setting this morning and realized that I had that exact extension installed and it was, in fact, adding the /site/ segment. I thought I had disabled all my third-party stuff but I must have left that one on, even after looking at it a dozen times. Just disabled it and the problem is now resolved.

I’m sorry to have wasted your time, Sue, and the time of the other moderators. Thank you for your patience and help!

Yay!! That was going to be my next question, checking your extensions. 😊 Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
