Rewrite setting?

**Magnumutz** · 03-09-2008, 10:10 AM

Ok... so, here's the deal, my forum is Arcade Mania .

I'd want everyone to be redirected to Arcade Mania, when accessing the above link... and i haven't got a clue on how to do this.

Hope i've explained well enough for you guys.

put this in your root .htaccess file

Code:

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

I've been doing this for a while now on my site, but how can I get it to work for directories... ex http://vbstartup.com/testvb gives me a 404 while adding www. before it makes it work...

It's weird... it seems to work with some and not with others... Ex. Banned works

Thanks Brandon, it works like a charm
