I am a newbie to cmsms.
I inherited a website made in cmsms.
The site is redirecting: when you type "http://www.mydomain.com you are automatically redirected to mydomain.com

The redirection is NOT in a .htaccess

I could not find how to modify that in the CMS or the DB.


I would highly appreciate prompt help.

Thank you for approving my topic.

Let me ask you please:
how can the root_url and ssl_url be edited?
How can I edit the information I find under admin/systeminfo.php ?

Take a look at your /config.php file and
http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/configuration/config-file

Thank you again Paul. I looked at this
http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/configuration/config-file

indeed, that is exactly how my config file is and as you see, it has nowhere any reference to the url of the cmsms

I really appreciate your help.

Hard to say where that redirection is configured:

- web server config
- .htaccess
- page template
- global content blog
- worse: modified cmsms files

And what CMSMS version are we 'talking' about?

Please post your CMSMS system information

Well this is a CMSMS issue either. CMSMS doesn't redirect from www to non www urls on it's own.
So, if it isn't a .htaccess redirect you'll need to dig more.
Also you should post more info (as the admin system info already formatted to be pasted in the forum).

PS: well, Velden was faster than me.

Thank you velden. I respect your time and the time of every person on this board. I hence did not ask here before I did all the research that I must do on my own.

1) web server config has no redirections whatsoever on my domain

2) .htaccess: rewrite rule is commented out with a #

3) page template: 2 templates, I searched well in both, and no redirections.

4) global content blog. Where and how do I check?

5) cmsms files, I searched extensively but could not find anything.

Thank you Velden for your time and effort. I appreciate this.

Thank you Jo. I appreciate your help.

I am sure you meant this is "NOT" a cmsms issue either.
I did not say this is an issue. I realize this could have been actually the wish of the person who installed the cmsms and configured it so. I am not accusing the cmsms of anything. I am just trying to find out how to remove that redirection.

I am trying to dig more, and I only came here to ask after having on my own done all the possible research both on Google and here on the forums, then searched all the files of the CMSMS, searched all the DB and examined carefully config file.

I really appreciate all the great help I am receiving here.

I pay $100's for another product and I don't get half the great support I am getting here.

Note to moderator: I did check "Do not automatically parse URLs". I hope this is enough.

Following up on what Velden posted:

- page template
- global content blog

It's a long shot but search User Defined Tags (UDT's) too for some some kind of php redirection.

Thank you Jo. I looked in each of those and did not find anything related to redirecting:

User Defined Tags

boxes_home
get_root_page_alias
jquery_caching_file
menuaccess
sitename_switcher
virtual_analytics

[paulbaker]

Meta refresh tag perhaps?
http://www.metatags.info/meta_http_equiv_refresh

URL may help (you can always edit it out of the post later).

[Arigato]

I would like to thank everyone for their help.
This is fixed now and CMSMS was not responsible at all of the redirection ....... In fact, finally, it was set on the registrar level.......
