    Hi everyone,
    I have a website at http://www.buildengagementring.net and I wanted to add a blog to it. I did that using Fantastico, the installation was ok.

    The blog is installed at http://www.buildengagementring.net/blog but it can't be reached there.

    I don't know if there is something to do with the .htaccess file, this one is in the root directory, and only contains the rule to get url with "www". There are no htaccessfile in the /blog directory.

    Please can someone tell me how to have a website + a blog ?

    Thank you for your time.

    What type of blog did it install? - looks like there is an issue with the redirects - in that .htaccess file.
    When I go there Firefox prints out an error

    "The page isn't redirecting properly"

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    Put your rewrite rules code for the "to get url with "www" " in a post here - maybe someone can spot the
    error with it.

    Thanks for your answer rederick.
    What type of blog ? WordPress (title).

    This is all I have in my .htaccess file :

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

    I added that when I created the website, before I wanted to add a blog. So I don't know if I need another .htaccess file in the /blog directory, since it's like having 2 websites.

    Thanks.
