Discussion Group "short" URLs sometimes do not work.

If you are using FogBugz On Demand, disregard this guide and contact us.  This article is meant for Licensed FogBugz.

You might notice that sometimes you click on a discussion group URL and it does not take you to the discussion group.  Look at the address and you will see that PHP has attached a SESSION ID to your URL.

http://fogbugz.com/?dgname  has become http://fogbugz.com/?dgname&PHPSESSID=1234567890

To fix FogBugz, you need to make a small change to your PHP configuration.

Edit the file php.ini (it is usually located in /etc or /usr/local/php) and set session.use_cookies to 1 and session.use_trans_sid to 0.

Then reload your web server and hit 'Refresh.'

Note: If these settings conflict with the settings required by any other PHP-based applications on your web server, please see the PHP documentation for alternatives.
