MSM multisite login causes ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS problem

Hi,
we have a problem very similar to that cited in the post:

http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/217307/

(which has currently no solution)

The scenario:

We have two sites: “sito1.prova.com” and “sito2.prova.com”. You can see attached to this post the two “index.php” files.

We have added to the “config.php” file the line:

$config[‘multi_login_sites’] = “http://sito2.prova.com/|http://sito1.prova.com/”;

to have multiple login to both sites.

The problem is that when we go to the frontend login ({exp:member:login_form}), fill the form and press “submit”, the browser return the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (attached the image of the resut page in chrome).

The weird thing is that if we swap the sites order in “$config[‘multi_login_sites’]” in config, that is writing:

$config[‘multi_login_sites’] = “http://sito1.prova.com/|http://sito2.prova.com/”;

things seem to work right (login ok and logged simultaneously in both sites

Additional notes:
- we have cleared all cookies in the browser before doing every test
- problem has been verified in safari, chrome, firefox (we think is not browser dependent)
- we don’t have htaccess (we are using index.php as site home)
- we have tried the solution suggested by Dan Decker in the above forum post but with no solution
- we tried with 3 and 4 sites and we could not figure out the “$config[‘multi_login_sites’] magic sites order” that makes things work right.

EE Version 2.5.2 build 20120606
MSM Version 2.1.3 build 20120529

thank you

An update:

We have the module Transcribe (http://eeharbor.com/transcribe) installed for multilingual. I see that the problem can be related to the fact that in this case the site url returned from $this->EE->functions->fetch_site_index() at line 148 of expressionengine->modules->member->mod.member_auth.php is something like:

http://sito1.prova.com/index.php/it/

and this causes the array_search at line 150 (of the same file) to fail.

Hope this can help

thanks

Hi, Granet -

Did you need further assistance on this? I think you’ve narrowed it down and may have a solution, but I wanted to make sure.

Thank you!

Yes,
what is the correct way to define the config parameter:

$config[“multi_login_sites”]

?

Thanks

Hi Granet,

If you set Transcribe to “disabled” in the settings, does it then work as intended? (without the /it) segment.

If so if you could drop us a line help [at] eeharbor.com we’ll see what we can do to get you up and running ASAP

Thanks,
-Tom

Hi, Granet -

Have you seen wiki article on this? It has the syntax for you to copy from:

$config['multi_login_sites'] = "http://www.example.com/|http://www.sitetwo.com/|http://www.sitethree.com/";

but I’d recommend reading the caveats on that page as well as you may need to include index.php in that config line.

Does that help?
