Hi Oleg

Only me again

When I add this to the httpd.ini I lose my images?

I added it to the one in the helicon folder only.

Hello Ged,

.htaccess in your root:

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mustangevolution.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I have 3 other domains I would like to point to my fourms, will this rewrite help,hurt or do nothing as far as google pagerank is concerned?

There's one small problem that i'm facing right now. I have my forum on my root (http:www.vbseo.com/index.php not http:www.vbseo.com/forums/index.php)

and i change the ".htaccess" from

Code:

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

to

Code:

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

However when i typed in "vbseo.com" into my browser... it stay the same "vbseo.com" What do i need to do so when i type in "vbseo.com" it become www.vbseo.com?

Thanks

You rewrite rules are commented out, you should remove leading "#" characters in both lines.

Applying it the the forums htaccess I get directed to this

http://www.domain.com/forums//home/domain/public_html/cheats

when I try going to domain.com/forums

Any ideas?

Please check this thread: Add www to forum url with no trailing slash

So let me get this correct, if I want to redirect everyone from the old URL to the new URL then I use this:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xleagues.net/forum/
RewriteRule (.*) http://forum.xleagues.net/$1 [R=301,L]

and I put this in my forums .htaccess ?

It should be:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^forum\.xleagues\.net
RewriteRule (.*) http://forum.xleagues.net/$1 [R=301,L]

Thank you it's worked a treat

It works if I do this Oleg

RewriteCond Host: mydomain\.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http\://www.domain.co.uk$1 [I,RP]

how would I add the 301 part or do I need to?

No changes are required - [RP] means "Redirect Permanently", which corresponds to 301-redirect code.

Thanks Oleg

I'm having login issues that I believe are related to vBSEO. I've made the following changes to my .htaccess and I'm getting an error, "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

Code:

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

BTW, I recently switched servers and that's when the login issue occured. Been dealing with this issue for 5 days, so any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA.

It should be:

Code:

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