Full Version: Make "www." prefix work with domain, remove case-sensitive URLs
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello!

My website: https://sdwarriors.us/


When typing https://www.sdwarriors.us/ , you get a 403 error. Without the "www." prefix however, you connect to the website just fine. How would I make the "www." prefix work?


Also, how would I remove case sensitive URLs?
For example, I'd like both sdwarriors.com/test and sdwarriors.com/Test (notice the capital "T") to work, but right now only sdwarriors.com/test works.

A workaround would be making a double folder or file, the first having the capital letter and the second having a non-capital letter so both would work, but it'd be nice if there were a way I could make it so it would work with just one file/folder.



I've looked around many places but can't get a working solution for either.

Thanks for future replies!

Could you perhaps help me do it here?
This is not a MyBB issue. and i would never recommend giving your domain provider user information to anyone under any circumstances. This route is the best for your data safety. Further since i don't know what your full DNS setup is this is also the easiest route for myself.

My nameservers are set to my webhost; that's the only thing that's been changed about my domain, besides the SSL configuration.
if you would like my assistance you may add me on skype. id be more than happy to assist you when i get some time. however currently i have 2 users who are actually wanting fixes to their problems and they will receive priority.
web host control panel might be having redirect facility. through that www site can be redirected to non-www site.

Edit:
in general, we use lower case characters for the web URLs
using mix-up of different case letters is not recommended.

Google SEO plugin can be used to use all lower case letters
or mix-up of the characters.

Thanks for the reply.

The www. still doesn't seem to work after I tried what you said. Also, is there any reason why https://sdwarriors.us/ loads right away but sdwarriors.us takes a while to finally reach https://sdwarriors.us ?
^ you might also need http redirect to https - see this reply

I already have that in my .htaccess. As I said, it works but takes a long time to. If you type sdwarriors.us in your browser and compare that to typing https://sdwarriors.us/ in your browser, you will see what I mean. It takes a while but eventually loads.
