Forums / Install & configuration / 3.5: Meaning of set up of "User path"

Hello all!
User path (let's call it "plain") and Admin path ("plain_admin") are used to access the admin and user sections of the site - that's understood. Interestingly when entering my website (http://www.mysite.com) as an anonymous/guest (not logged in user) and klicking on the links in it the URL gets attached by /plain/ for instance. So as an example when I click (again as a not logged in user!) on the forum link the URL reads http://www.mysite.com/plain/forum. When I type http://www.mysite.com/forum manually into the browser adress line the server forwards me intothe forum-area as well.
What I need is:
for anonymous/guest: http://www.mysite.com/forum/
for logged in-users: http://www.mysite.com/plain/forum/
and for admins: http://www.mysite.com/plain_admin/forum/
Hopefully I've explained my lack of understanding good enough ;-)
(One minor thing I would like to change is the missing ending slash: Now the URL reads: http://www.mysite.com/forum and not (as prefered) http://www.mysite.com/forum/Can anyone help me with this as well?)
Thanks and best regards

Hello everybody!
I'm still working on this issue, but unfortunately I can't find the problem.
From what I understand, this is handled in the site.ini (in the settings-folder: "override" and "siteaccess").
DefaultAccess=plainSiteList[]=plain
but when I deleted one or even both it brings Kernel error 20 and jumps to the admin login page.
I need to get rid of the part /plain/ for not-logged in-users (say anonymous), but the URL still reads http://www.mysite.com/plain/forum/ :-(
Please help
Thanks and best regards from Munich

eZ publish cannot handle this.You will have to use the same <i>plain</i> prefix for both the logged-in and anonymous users.
Is there a special reason why you want to do it like this?

Thanks for your info! How did you manage it on the ez-Publish-Website then? When you click on "Company", "ezPublish", etc. the path read "http://www.ez.no/company" or "http://www.ez.no/ez_publish" without a "plain" in the middle. Did you manage this through the Webserver?
This really looks "nicer"
Thanks and kind regards

Hi,
This is because ez.no is configured to determine which siteaccess to use based on the hostname instead of the URL. There are 3 ways to determine which siteaccess that should be used: host, url, port. If you use host, you can map "www.example.com" to your public siteaccess and "admin.example.com" to your admin siteaccess and thus the first part of the URL-path will disappear ('cause eZ publish will look at the hostname instead). Please have a look in the default site.ini file for more information about setting this up (look for "SiteAccessSettings").
