Description of my issue:


I have joomla 3.1.5 and admintools latest 2.5.8. I saved and created .htaccess file as well as I carried out all first five items specified in following page:

https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/admin-tools/ch01s04.html

There is not a major crashdown on the site but I have a difficulty for users when they login or logout.

Say you are in domain www.domain.com after login user gets blank page with text "invalid token" and url changes to www.domain.com/index.php

If user clears the index.php and refreshes the page, he/she will see that login has been successful!

Same applies for logout, when trying to logout you get blank page with "invalid token" and then you need to clear index.php to see the logout results.

Most probably related to htaccess. Would be grateful about any suggestions to solve the issue.

Thank you.

It doesn't sound like an .htaccess problem, they are generally not subtle. To test this, save your current .htaccess file and restore the one that came with your Joomla! zip file (it may be on the site as htaccess.txt). If the problem still occurs, it isn't an .htaccess problem.

In the Login module, you can redirect your users to a specific page on login and logout. Have you redirected to a special page and is that page a valid page?

Hi Dale,

As you suggested, I went through the process and it did prove the .htaccess is the reason for the issue (changed to original and it solved the problem).

Then I went to joomla global configuration and turn the "use URL Rewrite" on (the SEF was already on) and that solved the problem.

It is something to do with index.php? I have attached the htaccess content. Would you be able to give a solution as I may not want to turn on URL Rewrite.

Thank you.

I can't see what is causing the error in the .htaccess file. I am convinced that they are black magic.

The rewrite should be a fairly benign option. The only place that I know of where it could cause you trouble is if you restore to a non-Apache server or to an Apache server where the rewrite module is not activated. That would probably cause a 500 error. You would simply have to comment out the line to fix it.

Ok, the exact cause of this issue for me is

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http%2:/// [R,L]

in the htaccess file.

It is Greek to me (pun intended). Nicholas is attending Joomla! Day Switzerland and will not return until Monday. I'm sure he can tell you what this line does and if there is a syntax error in it. I'm sorry I can't be more help.
