how cookies simultaneously work for both url one with www. and one does not


cookies treat not the same with:
http://www.sample.com VS http://sample.com

how to make one single cookies work for both?

[Nibbler]

That's how cookies work. If you want them to work across subdomains then you need to create them with a domain of ".sample.com". Coppermine doesn't have a cookie domain setting however.

[Joachim Müller]

Use a custom .htaccess file that takes care of the leading www subdomain to go out of harm's way.

To always use the leading www subdomain, use something like

Code Select Expand

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

To always redirect from the leading www subdomain to just the domain, use something like

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]If you need details on that technology, google for it, as this is not related to coppermine.
