[support] Front page showing up where it shouldn't.

[Kris Coward]

In case someone else has the same problem, another day or so of
wrestling with this got me a fix.

The solution turns out to have been that the $base_url in settings.php
was http://domain.com/ ; switching it to http://www.domain.com/ fixed
everything.

Cheers,
Kris
