I don't have access to these as I am being hosted on bluehost. I read http://drupal.org/getting-started/clean-urls but the text is outdated: Location of index.php For some server configurations, another change to the Drupal .htaccess file may be necessary. Find a line that looks like this, near the end of your Drupal .htaccess file: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] You may need to replace index.php with the URL path to your Drupal installation's index.php file (only the part after the base URL). For instance, if your site's home page URL is http://example.com/subdir/, you might need to use /subdir/index.php instead of index.php. If your site's home page URL is http://example.com/, you might need to use /index.php instead ofindex.php. This is necessary on some, but not all server configurations. I don't find that RewriteRule line in my .htaccess. I guess I will go back to the enabling the line <!--<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.tony-mac.com/drupal/">--> at the index.html at my site root. At least that worked.

Hi, (I apologize if this comes through twice, the first time didn't show up in the list. This is my first time contributing and maybe I didn't wait long enough or something.) Two things. First about the www since you may have solved the rest, and then what Apache says about .htaccess. I assume you are using Apache and have a Virtual Private Server hosting account. 1) Do you have something like the following in your httpd.conf file? The first part should take care or you www access problem and the second part changes http requests into https requests. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName yourdomain.com ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html ### next 3 lines change http access to https ### RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com$1 [R=301,L] </VirtualHost> 2) I would put the above in your httpd.conf file instead of .htaccess. The reason for this is explained in the Apache documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html in the *When (not) to use .htaccess files* section. Part is quoted below, but there is more: "In general, you should never use |.htaccess| files unless you don't have access to the main server configuration file. There is, for example, a prevailing misconception that user authentication should always be done in |.htaccess| files. This is simply not the case. You can put user authentication configurations in the main server configuration, and this is, in fact, the preferred way to do things." I hope this helps and that I have not misunderstood your problem. Robert Alter Lynn Stott (Stott Design) wrote:

This thread got me to experimenting. My site is at www.mysite.com/drupal so I uncommented this in .htaccess # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a # VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly. # For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and # modify the following line: RewriteBase /drupal I then tried out both of these possibilities: # If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix,

you # can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your preferred # URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option: # # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix, # (http://example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.example.com/...) # adapt and uncomment the following: # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC] # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301] # # To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix, # (http://www.example.com/... will be redirected to http://example.com/...) # uncomment and adapt the following: # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC] # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Now I can access the site with mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com but *not *with www.mysite.com.

Now, of course, it could be our astaro firewall, which seems probable but just wanted to make sure: The firewall says : Astaro Security Gateway Version 8 http://www.astaro.com Content blockedWhile trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.dsnextgen.com/?a_id=115576&domainname=www.mysite.com<http://www.dsnextgen.com/?a_id=115576&domainname=www.tony-mac.com>The content is blocked due to the following condition:The URL you have requested is blocked by Surf Protection.
