I’ve got the following login form:

{exp:member:login_form return="/instructors/index"}
Standard login form
{/exp:member:login_form}

but after submission, the user gets returned to /site.php/instructors/

When I was developing the site I used site.php as the index file but that’s now been changed so that there is no xxx.php in the URL (ie, field is left blank in system prefs and using .htaccess to remove index.php).

So where would the reference to site.php be coming from? (I’ve checked both config.php and path.php and there’s no mention of it in either of those.)

John,

Did you add it to your .htaccess by any chance?

No, .htaccess is just a simple:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

John,

How about the paths in your instructor Weblog Preferences?

Can you try it without the starting forward slash

{exp:member:login_form return="instructors/index"}

Your index.php in your root is still renamed as site.php right?

Weblog prefs are fine, I tried removing the / but it didn’t make any difference. And no, the root file is renamed to index.php.

John,

Can you manually clear your cache by deleting all the folders in system/cache/ bar the index.html.
Can you also test with a different template group name

All the cache folders are empty and I’ve changed the return value to point to a different template group, but it’s still returning to /site.php/instructors/ ! :? And I’ve just noticed that when you log out, it returns you to /site.php/login/ instead of just /login/ too.

Tyssen,

Just to simplify things a bit, temporarily rename your .htaccess file to something else and set the site’s index page back to index.php. Let’s get things working like this before moving forward. That change might also help if there is some server caching mechanism involved.

I renamed .htaccess and added index.php as the site’s index page and the problem renamed except that it went to a browser 404 page rather than one served by EE so there’s no way for users to continue, so have now switched back again now.

Please check your email

Form just filled out.

Thanks Tyssen, we’ll keep you posted here.

John,

Do you remember installing an extension called Twomile Login Redirect by any chance 😉

Hi John,

Sorry for the late reply but I never got a notification about your response and completely forgot about the issue as I never heard back from the client about it. But I must hang my head in shame, because you’re quite right, it was the extension that was causing the problem.

No problems John. Thanks for getting back to us. Closing this one out.
