Need help with Wordpress htaccess file

Hello,

I want my blog URLs to appear with the www subdomain. Currently the URLs appear as http://mydomain/blog but I want http://www.mydomain/blog

I am using Wordpress 2.8.6 which produces an htaccess file like below.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress


I found the code below that is suppose to accomplish this but my blog breaks when I add it the existing htaccess file.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [NC]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/blog$1 [R=301,NC]

Thanks for any assistance.

There are some very knowledgable people there that know their modrewrite stuff.

 

Simply install your Wordpress in domain.com/blog instead of domain.com.

 

That is where it is installed..
