Hi,

I've searched through the forums about this issue to no avail so I'm asking a new question.

I am experiencing issues with the media upload within EasyBlog and noticed that the reason was because I am 301 redirecting traffic from example.com to http://www.example.com using the the following code in the .htaccess file: -

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It prevents the media manager from even accessing the files so it's not like I could upload the media using an FTP option as a quick fix.

I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction of a workaround for this please?

Thanks very much,

James
Hello James,

If you have created a redirect form http://www.site.com to site.com , it really wouldn't cause any issues unless in your Joomla's configuration.php , you have set the $live_site to http://www.site.com . Can you check your configuration.php file? If it is using http://www.site.com , you need to change it to site.com

Hi Mark,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.

Apologies, I had a typo in my question. Corrected: -

My site was redirecting TO http://www.site.com.

I have swapped this around to use site.com instead and all is fine. It would be nice to find a workaround to use http://www.site.com but using site.com is a suitable configuration/solution for me.

Thanks and keep up the good stuff!

James
