I am new to elgg. I started a couple weeks ago with an installation of elgg 1.6. I usually use firefox browser. At my workplace I use Internet Explorer 7, I tried logging into my elgg 1.6 site and was able to log in but when I clicked on any link on the first page I was taken back to the log in page. I have searched for an solution to fix this issue. During the search I found a discussion that discussed this issue and the cause is related to the way IE7 stores cookies and submits both the http://www and http:// urls so the user is returned to the login page. The discussion also stated there was a plug in to fix the problem and that it would be included in version 1.7. So, I updated to version 1.7 and have the same problem... even worse. Now I don't even get to the first page, just returned to the login page.
Does anyone have suggestions on fixing this issue? The log in issue does not affect firefox and does not effect IE8 used on Vista. I know everyone doesn't use IE7 but I don't want to limit access to my site just because someone is using IE7.
Thanks for any suggetsion.
Paul

You must log in to post replies.You probably found my post on this but I never said that elgg 1.7 would fix it since it is due to a configuration problem with the server. There is information on the Elgg wiki about doing a mod_rewrite to properly handle this.
Thanks for your response. I think the information you are talking about is http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Login_token_mismatch_error
My URL is similar to http://friends.mysite.com/
so I added below #RewriteBase
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://friends.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Does this sound correct?
I will find out tomorrow when I get to the office...

@paul, You can try this method,
In the admin interface, in "Site Administration" submenu,
make Site URL field value to be,
http://www.friends.mysite.com/
Then add below two lines to .htaccess file
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^friends.mysite.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.friends.mysite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
