Force WWW with htaccess

hello

i want to force www on my forums so that if its typed without the "www" it automatically adds it

my forum not on the main domain, it is a subdomain so the code needs to be made to work within the directory where my forum is on

my forum is in a directory called "forums"

so basically: http://mysite.com/forums

i want everything within the that directory to automatically get the "www"

Can someone please help me

Thank You :)

ive tried those before but it would redirect:

http://mysite.com/forums/forum.php
to
http://www.mysite.com/forum.php

(leaving out my directory)

If you are having problems, please post *exactly* what you used and then tell us the *exact* problem you are having with that code.

This is what i used and it just gave me the page not found error

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain.com/foruns/$1

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

foruns? That isn't going to work. mydomain.com won't work either. That also doesn't look like the link I posted. I use something that looks very much like the stuff in the link I posted and it works fine.

This works for me:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine ON

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]

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

Replace both instances of "domain.com" with your real domain.

i know that works only if your forums is installed in the root of your domain

my forum is in a directory within my domain

this is similar to my issue:

My forum is not installed in the root and that htaccess works fine for me. If you are using vbseo, then you will need to ask them for help with the issue.

Thank you
