301 redirect to prevent users logging out

[planetzu]

Hello,

I have been having issue with users getting logged out automatically even when they are still active on the forum. I guess the problem is with cookie scope due to inconsistent URLs as discussed in this post:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/keep-logging-out-of-xf-with-chrome.22968/#post-286837

The forum is in a subdirectory "/community" and I am trying to redirect all non-www pages to www. This is because I have a wordpress blog in the root which already uses 'non-www' to 'www' redirection.

Also in the 'Basic Board Information' I have given the following as the URL:
http://www.yoursite.com/community and the index page route is 'forums/'

I used the following in the forum htaccess but it isn't redirecting:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/community/$1 [R=301,L]
Is there anything I am doing wrong?

I basically want to redirect http://yoursite.com/community/ to http://www.yoursite.com/community/

Different rewrites are sometimes required based on the server configuration.

See this thread for alternatives: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/my-htaccess-file-to-redirect-non-www-to-www.8232/

Try this:

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

Fixed it now. There was a minor flaw in my code, now it is redirecting fine. Thank you.
