Wrong path category + HTTPS

test-vanilla

Hello,

How can I set manually the domain name used to define the URL path to General Category or other.
Currently, I can't access to discussions because the generated URL is "http://domain.com; domain.com/discussion/74/..." (domain.com is in the URL twice) instead of "http://domain.com; domain.com/discussion/74/..." instead of "http://domain.com/discussion/74/..." It's wired. Is this because Users come from "https://domain.com" (HTTPS) ?

Thank you.

Try this to call the URI:

<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>

Thank you for the reply.

The domain is displayed like this : http://domain.com. But it's impossible to access to discussions because for the "General" category the domain is still incorrect.

Doesn't sound like a Vanilla problem but like a .htaccess misconfiguration.
What changes have you made to the .htaccess?
What (domain specific) Vanilla settings have you changed?

.htaccess is just an override, it could server rules lower down too.

test-vanilla

No changes have been made to the .htaccess

Original

If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified

RewriteEngine On
# Certain hosts may require the following line.
# If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /.
# (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

From the menu Settings > Manage categories I see the generated link is wrong but I can't edit it. Please, is there a way to set it manually ? I don't know how vanilla create the link but it's not the right URL here.

Hello,

How can I change category path manually because Vanilla create a wrong URL and I can't access to discussions. Thank you.

@test-vanilla this is detected, so it is likely a problem lower down. You need to ask you hosts to check how

HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST is set.

You can also check

<?php
echo isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST']) ?  $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] : 'not set';

test-vanilla

Thank you for your reply. $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] returns the wrong domain. When I set at the start of index.php : $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] = domain.com and it works.

@test-vanilla this is something your host should sort out, it is not a vanilla issue.

Also don't modify the core. If you want a workaround try this:

add php_value auto_prepend_file alter_host.php to the top of your .htaccess file

Then create a file alter_host.php and put

<?php
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] = 'domain.com'; 

changing to your domain
