A directory URL problem

johneva · 12-18-2007, 01:43 AM

Hi

I have not done much with directorys and wanted to have bit of a play around just to get used to them aswell as I thought it may help me improve traffic and inbound links for my personal site.

Thing is I had set it up so all requests for pages on my site always went to the www. version of the URL for SEO perpouses, to lower the chance of having some sites link to the www. and some the non www.

I used this short bit of code I got from somebody in my htaccess files.

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+\.co.uk) [NC] 

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

But the problem is my directory I just added does not seem to care about this rule, I assume it is cos it has its own htaccess file it simpley does not care what the other one says, so I tryed the short bit of code to find all that does is redirect requests to the main sites index page.

Can anybody help me get my directory to run on the www. version instead of the non www. version please.

Cheers

Edit
Dont worry fixed.

You have to have the same line in your .htaccess in each sub-directory...If you set up a new directory, copy that text into the .htaccess file in the new directory, and it should work for you.
