[Plugin: BuddyPress Private Community] Home page redirects?

(I had posted this answer to the wrong forum question, but I will leave it here because I can’t figure out how to delete it)

I have solved one of two problems regarding page redirects and it might be relevant to your question (or someone else’s).

My first problem was to redirect users to the login page when they tried to access pages that were blocked. It was trying to go to /welcome, but was saying the page was not found.

I had to make changes to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default (which is where information about virtual servers is stored).

For both:
<Directory />
and
<Directory /var/www/>

I had to change code to: AllowOverride All

I am running Apache/2.2.22 with several virtual servers defined in the directory sites-enabled.

My second problem is, once users have logged in, the redirect fails (the right page is in the hook but then it just goes to dashboard). I haven’t found a solution for this yet.
