web protect - must log in twice

[jimtron]

I have web protected a directory using cpanel. When I enter the URL in my browser, I get the login screen, enter user and password, hit enter, and then I get the login screen again. After entering login and password again, I can get to the directory. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can avoid it?

I had this problem too. I find if I don't use www. infront of my domains, then I get that problem.

It seems the first time I attempt login, then my url changes and adds the www. Then the second time I attempt login it works.

I had the problem, too, and the solution is to put a back slash behind the directory when you go to it from the browser. Then it works, first time.

http://mydomain.com/directory - wrong

http://mydomain.com/directory/ - right

Thanks folks.
