What do you have in the $baseurl variable in your conf/_basic_config.php file? I'm guessing you don't have a www. in there, so that's what b2evolution will base and build links on.

That doesn't explain why the www. version doesn't make it to the right destination though. For that I can only guess that something about your server (perhaps .htaccess?) is saying "I don't know what to do so here's the default page".

Thanks for the help! I changed the _basic_config.php $baseurl to read http://www.maddogmovies.com/blog/

So guess what that does? Now the www works, but not the http !

Is there a way to list both of them? Or should I make it a relative link somehow?

Also, I just took the .htaccess offline to help figure this out.

Well, I changed the baseurl back for now. If anything is going to be broken, I'd rather it be the www addresses.

I'm starting to think I should wipe out my blog and re-install from scratch.

If I do that, will I be able to pull in my old mysql file from version 0.98?

You'd better do a clean install of version 0.98, insert your backup and upgrade afterwards.

I hope you find a solution. I have the same problem (missing www). It bothers me, but it's not a big deal.

I asked my host about the www thing but they gave me no answer. Instead they added www.sub.domain.com as an extra. They now work both.

Hello,

I've add www.blog.hemminga.net subdomain to your panel and point it to your /www/blog.hemminga.net/ folder so now you can access yoursubdomain using the www. part

Best Regards,

I guess you'll have to search for your answer in the settings for your domain.

Here's my progress.

I wiped out the blog, and re-installed Paris (I think I was on 0.9.0.11, not 0.9.0.8)

Unfortunately, I had made a few changes to the blog while I had Rain Forest installed. So the mysqll file wouldn't downgrade to work with the old version.

I wiped it out again and installed Rain Forest from scratch. Changed my basic config file again.

I can still only have http:// or www. Not both at once.

I suppose I'll try the www subdomain idea next.

Do you have a test setup of 1.9.3 anymore?

What URL setup do you use?

Can you enable $debug (in /conf/_advanced.php)? There would be a section "detect_blog" or something similar then.

My current installation is 1.9.3 (Rainforest)

I don't know what you mean by URL setup.

I looked in the _advanced file, but I didn't see anything called detect_blog. There's several other references to $debug, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Blueyed wants you to enable debug and report what the debuglog has to say, particulary if you find a section detect_blog.

To have a Debuglog with a load of information on the bottom of each page, set

$debug = 1;

in /conf/_advanced.php.
