Changed URL. http://www.myboard works but http://myboard.com doesnt

What did I do wrong?

I tried changing board url as http://www.myboard.com and that works

but when you try to go to the site as http://myboard.com it doesn't work.

I changed the board url to http://myboard.com and it doesn't work that way either.

Changing it back to www.myboard.com for now.

Do you not have a redirect setup in your .htaccess?

 

[DRE]

This is the only thing in my .htaccess.

#    Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
#    cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#    SecFilterEngine Off
#    SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>
 
ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
 
    #    If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
    #    line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
    #    of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
    #RewriteBase /xenforo
 
    #    This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
    #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
 
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico) - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

I could've sworn I had way more stuff in there before.

What web server are you using, and do you have the non-www address aliased in your web server directive config?

What web server are you using, and do you have the non-www address aliased in your web server directive config?

I use urljet and they have lightspeed.

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/htaccess-non-www-to-www.7105/

I used this code just now right under 'rewrite on'

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

But I have several subdomains. What rewrite rules enforces www.url.com only? I need it to redirect from url.com to www.url.com

 

[CTXMedia]

You can specify multiple domains and subs to rewrite to your www URL - give this example a try:

Options -Indexes +Includes

#       Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
#       cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#       SecFilterEngine Off
#       SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        #       If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
        #       line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
        #       of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
        #RewriteBase /xenforo

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.url\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.url.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.url\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.url.com/$1 [R=301,L]

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^other\.url\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.url.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^different\.url\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.url.com/$1 [R=301,L]

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
        RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
        RewriteRule ^(data|js|styles|install) - [NC,L]
        RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

okay great, do I change url with my actual url

and i'm basically needing these rewrite rules for two different sites, one that is my main domain which is a myforum.com site

and one of my subdomains, which is a myforum.net site. Do I use that code for the myforum.com site

and when using the code for the myforum.net site just change the example so that its myforum.net?

Yes.

Let's do it backwards - what is the destination URL - where you want all the requests to end up?

 

[DRE]

Yes.



Let's do it backwards - what is the destination URL - where you want all the requests to end up?

I have two domains. The main domain is www.the8thlegion.com

That's working fine now except people can access the site through http://the8thlegion.com

When they go to that url, they are logged out. It does not save their cookies.

So It used to work both ways but it doesn't anymore.

I want to force www.the8thlegion.com instead of letting people go to the site through http://the8thlegion.com


Alright that's one issue.

The other issue is the same as above except this one is called www.blackgamer.net and is a subdomain underneath the8thlegion.com

 

[CTXMedia]

Cookies apply to the URL that someone logs in at - so if you login at "www.site.com" the cookie won't apply if you visit the site via "site.com".

Anyway, for the8thlegion try this:

I don't understand this part - you can't have "www.blackgamer.net" as a sub-domain of the8thlegion.com - are you trying to redirect from one domain to the other?

 

[DBA]

The other issue is the same as above except this one is called www.blackgamer.net and is a subdomain underneath the8thlegion.com

A sub-domain would be like this

subdomain.the8thlegion.com

 

[DRE]

A sub-domain would be like this

subdomain.the8thlegion.com

Yup that's what it is. I got everything working now though thanks!

 

[DRE]

I'm using this to redirect my old site to my new site.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Got it from here: http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php

This worked out great thanks! Also worked with this config edit

Add this code to your library/config.php file to set your own cookie domain:

Examples include:

// COOKIES WILL ONLY WORK ON www.yoursite.com
$config['cookie'] = array(
'prefix' => 'xf_',
'path' => '/',
'domain' => 'www.yoursite.com'
);
