Strange Problem www / non-www

[lee_sufc]

A few months back we changed our HT access file to redirect http://example.com to www.example.com - this has all been working fine until i noticed something today:

The redirect doesn't work on http://example.com/blog - it works on /forum and other folders but not the blog.

Does anyone here know why?

This is what we have in our HT access file:

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

Here's mine which seems to work fine:-

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

It's possible that your blog in hosted in a separate directory from the rest of your aite, and that an Alias [httpd.apache.org] directive is used in httpd.conf (or another config file) to make it appear to be located in the same directory-space.

If this is the case, then an .htaccess file in your regular directory-space will have no effect on the aliased directory-space.

You may also have a .htaccess file in the /blog directory which interferes with or takes precedence over the one on your document root. WordPress, for example, has its own rewrite rules in a .htaccess.
