Bill_USA Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 I have a site setup with all the files in the "/main" directory. I have a redirect in cpanel set to point to the /main directory, where the index is, and I have the /main directory protected with a lock, requiring a username and password. When a user goes to log in, he has to enter the user/password information twice. However, if I happen to be in the redirect page of cpanel and click on the redirect, it only asks once. Can anyone help? Bill Quote
Lianna Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 If you are in cpanel then you are already logged in the first time, so the redirect will only need the login to the protected area. I'm not sure I understand what your goal is though. You DO want the visitor to login twice or would prefer they only have to login once? And, I think this is something I need to see. Can you create a bogus user that you can delete later and post the URL? Lianna Quote
Bill_USA Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 Thanks for taking the time to answer. I only want the user to enter their info one time. Right now, they enter a username & password, hit enter, and the same box appears, asking for the same information again. I would protect the root directory and do away with the redirect, but cpanel will not let me do that. I'm stumped Quote
Lianna Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Huh? No that doesn't sound quite right. If you'd like to PM me a link and bogus username and pass, I can check it out for you. Lianna Quote
Bill_USA Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 I am in the process of bringing my site to TCH and if it happens here, I 'll be sure to let you know. Bill Quote
Lianna Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Okie dokie. Waiting on pins and needles..... Li Quote
greatfolios sysop Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 I have a similar issue, I have a doc (user agreement) that I need to keep secure until it's time to sign someone on to my site. When I use the www.greatfolios.com/docs/gfua.doc link, it requires 2 logins but if I use the http:\\greatfolios.com/docs/gfua.doc I only need to enter it once. I would like to keep it as simple as I can, any ideas? Bill McCord www.greatfolios.com Quote
champagnemojo Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 I can't help you with your question, but I did notice that the bottom image on your "not allowed" page is pointing to a file on your home computer and therefore isn't opening. I know...not much help... Quote
Lianna Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Bill (McCord), I'd like to see for myself what happens if you wouldn't terribly mind. If you would like to email me the username/pass to use, the URL, your cpanel username and pass so that I can see how you have it setup, then I would be happy to look into it. Again, just as I told Bill_USA, it just doesn't sound right. Lianna Quote

I know...not much help... Thats funny, I just put my firewall back up (no more local hosting) and the cashed version is what I kept seeing , I cleared our my cache and poof , no more logo.... Thank you for the heads up! Bill McCord www.greatfolios.com Quote
