   Hello, I'm having a very strange problem. I have a WordPress blog set up in a subfolder (root/blog/) and have a .htaccess file in the root folder that is removing the "www" from my domain. So if you go to http://www.domain.com it will switch it to domain.com. Now when I access the wordpress blog with domain.com/blog/ it works just fine. But if I access it with http://www.domain/blob/ it redirects to my cgi folder for some reason. I've played around with .htaccess files but no luck. Can someone help? Note: My root site isn't a blog. It's a basic html site.

   Here's the content of my files:

   Root .htaccess:
   ================
   

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com$
   RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
   </IfModule>

   Root/blog .htaccess:
   ================
   

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

   Is it http://www.domain.com/blog or http://www.domain.com/anything that's redirecting to CGI?

   In your WP install did you set your site as domain.com/blog or http://www.domain.com/blog?

   http://www.domain.com/blog is the problematic one. The sub-folder is called "blog".

   http://domain.com/blog works just fine.

   Oh and here's more info. I get redirected to:
   http://domain.com/cgi-bin/php/blog/index.php

   And get the following error:
   Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=15) state=1 in /usr/bin/php5-cgi on line 6779

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/bin/php5-cgi on line 6779

   It should be http://domain.com/blog/index.php

   Try putting

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com$
   RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
   </IfModule>

   or

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
   RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
   </IfModule>

   Does this go in the root folder .htaccess or the blog subfolder one?

   I tried updating the root .htaccess file with what you recommended and still have the same issue.
