.htaccess help

[sparky5693]

I'm looking to remove the www's... In my root folder, my .htaccess looks like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^theshaveden.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.theshaveden.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.theshaveden\.com\/forums\/portal" [R=301,L]

Yet this deeper link isn't changed. Can you guys give me some tips on what i'm doing wrong?

This is what I use:

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

Did you try enabling the rewritebase?

Fixed. Funny how you don't see the obvious until you start working on the problem. We were checking the HTTP_HOST for the directory name.

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

I removed the red part and that fixed it.

Looks great Jake. A huge thanks from me! On a secondary note, I believe I understand now, so double thanks.
