Make sure your .htaccess file is being read. Then make sure you have the correct redirect command uncommented.
Thanks, but.. sorry, how do I check this? I REALLY need to understand if what's happening is an error of mine and which one, or if it's a general Drupa or LAMP issue/bug
If you're trying to run your www. domain as a different site than the non-www. domain, then I don't know -- I've never tried that.
No, that's not what I want. I want mysite.net and www.mysite.net to be the same website. I just want to _advertise_ (when it will be ready) only the shorter name.
Anyway: I have discovered two things:
1) If I click on "log out" in www.mysite.net then I don't see that hole anymore, but:
2) three days ago I had created (after the admin account) a second account, called My_First_Name with full powers (since I read somewhere it's good practice to use account #1 as seldom as possible). If I log in with this _second_ account, I still get the page:
############################################
Welcome to your new Drupal website!
Please follow these steps to set up and start using your website:
1. Create your administrator account To begin, create the first account. This account will have full administration rights and will allow you to configure your website. ###################################################################
if I click on "create the first account" I get an access denied page, so there seems to be nothing really dangerous going on, but this still seems very confusing, if not potentially dangerous, to me.
Thanks in advance for any further feedback.
