redirect non-www to www

Hello,

please try using .htaccess rewrite rule in root folder instead of the option: redirect non-www to www (just modify it with your domain name accordingly)

Hi,

You cannot work like that. Look this is working for me fine.

Use the following code after RewriteEngine On. Your .htaccess file must be in your forum directory.

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example.\.com 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/vb/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /vb/

If you do not want to use your main directory for other purpose you can redirect to your forum with another .htaccess in the root directory.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/vb/$1 [R=301,L]
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.example.com/vb/
RewriteBase /

I hope this will help you. It is tested with my forum and working 100%
