Hi guys, my website has a log in by open id feature. When a user logs in for the first time using his/ her openid they are redirected to a create account page. I noticed just recently that one user when logged in using her google account created an account for the first time. However when she tried to log in again using the same google account - she was faced with creating a new account again. I checked the db and saw that although she used the same google account - the open ID urls which were retrieved are different?
EDIT===================
Thanks Kobi for the information - the issue is that I need to set up my website so it always opens with www prepended to it i.e. http://www.mysite.com and NOT http://mysite.com
Owing to this subtle difference google OpenID recognises the two urls as different urls!!! Help please
I realised its an htaccess thing however I googled a bit and found these htaccess commands:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.com/$1 [L,R=301]
However the problem is that when I use this in my htaccess it does forward and ensure the link reads as www.site.com however it messed up all the javascript links - actually I'm using url rewriting here as well... my whole htaccessfile is somewhat like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php
AddType text/css .css
inclusion of the two lines messes up the url rewriting :( what do I do here
======================
Uh never mind I figured it out :) I was putting the two rewrite url lines at the end thus somehow overriding the other rewrite rules - putting them in the beginning fixed it :) thanks anyway
