Need help with .htaccess

[IcEWoLF]

Hi John, I want my website to include the www. in front when i visit the website.
I mean I could still use www.47r-squad.com to go to my website but I want 47r-squad.com when someone uses that link to automatically work as www.47r-squad.com because I am having issues somehow with the website and plugins to load.
basically when I use 47r-squad.com I want the www to be added when I visit the site.

You could do this in a .htaccess file, but I'd recommend using a Forward in our system as an easier solution.

Just go to your "Domains" page and change the "Type" for the @ subdomain of 47r-squad.com to "Forward", then enter http://www.47r-squad.com into the "Where it points" field. Make sure that the www subdomain is set up as a "Folder" type for this to work.

Oh, that was a quick reply!
Great, thank you John.

the domain is pointing two different cookies.
When i go to 47r-squad.com and login there is no issues, but when I go to www.47r-squad.com and try to login its no use, it doesn't log me in.
They are not working . I tried the forward thing, but it doesn't seem like its working

Per your support request, I set the @ forward for you now as I described earlier in this thread, and it works for me, redirecting to http://www.fourty7r.com as expected. You should be all set now.

http://47r-squad.com/forums/login.php

Right now when I try to login it says:

Code: Select all

The requested URL /forums/login.php was not found on this server.

I double checked and all the files are there, but the link changes to //47r-squad.com

Ah, you're deep-linking with it. That does change things.

Try turning back off the "Forward" and creating an .htaccess file with these contents instead:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    ^47r-squad.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$          http://www.47r-squad.com/$1 [R=301,L]

John, I put the link in the public_html now its redirecting me to: http://www.47r-squad.com/public_html/
I turned off forward option I believe.

Also: when I open the website in IE I get:

No website is currently set up at this address.

If you just set this site up, there may be a slight delay of up to a minute while the new Apache configuration is loaded; try visiting the page again in a minute or two and clicking refresh in your browser.

Redirecting to our main rentals page in 5 seconds..

Ok, now I am able to access my website, only problem is, its not working properly.
I cannot log in. It just redirects me to the forums page and same thing happens.

It looks like you have your forums / CMS set to use 47r-squad.com as a base URL instead of http://www.47r-squad.com (if you hover your mouse over any of your menu links, you can see that they are all to 47r-squad.com). If its form submission also goes to 47r-squad.com, that explains the problem. This is likely something that you will need to fix in an admin configuration module.

Everything seems to work fine now
Thanks John for all the help, your great!
