Different result while accessing my site

Hello All,

I purchased a new domain ex:xyz.com & a hosting account on webhostingpad

and installed Wordpress via fantastico on that

now when i am trying to browse the website via

1) http:\\xyz.com --- i am getting my first welcome page of wordpress

but when i am trying to browse via

2) http:\\www.xyz.com ---> i am getting my webhostingpad default page


is anything wrong i have done while doing installation with fantastico or any changes are missing .


Please advice

Thanks in advance

The same thing happened to me when I set up my first site. You just have to play a bit with htaccess to redirect all www requests to the wothout www url, or vice versa . Just google the issue and you'll find the htaccess code
Cheers!

 

Thanks for the hint

will try searching right now

 

Hello Freedom,

i searched on this and got the belwo to put in .htaccess file

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


little confused that it has to be placed in .htaccess file which is under public_html or www directory?

kindly advice

Regards,
