   god for anyone watching this forum I must be a joke. Iv been running wordpress without fail for a while, then a month ago slow admin hit me after that its just been one nightmare after another.

   I now have wordpress with multi site back up and running admin is fine and I have fixed almost all of my other issues.

   HOWEVER..

   My Current problem is that http://cruel-gaming.com does not work, http://www.cruel-gaming.com does.

   A Records are fine, iv not changed them since my last install which worked fine so something changed during this new fresh install.

   I tried changing the database to point siteurl and home to http://cruel-gaming.com but that didnt work either it.

   http://cruel-gaming.com either fails to redirect or load, or it spawns a create new blog called cruel-gaming.com.cruel-gaming.com page lol.

   Any help here would be appreciated as im lost for ideas.

   Are you sure this isn't a .htaccess problem? Have you installed any plugin that might be causing this?

   I'm getting a recursive redirect (redirect loop): the page is redirecting to a page which redirects to itself, and so forth.

   here is my .htaccess in /

   # Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.
   RewriteEngine Off
   
   SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5
   
   DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php
   
   redirect cruel-gaming.com http://www.cruel-gaming.com
   
   # BEGIN WordPress
   #<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   #RewriteEngine On
   #RewriteBase /
   #RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   #RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   #</IfModule>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
   # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
   
   # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule ^ - [L]
   RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
   RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   # END WordPress

   Im running wordpress installed in / and I have multisite on with another two blogs one in dev.cruel-gaming.com and one in swtor.cruel-gaming.com

   http://cruel-gaming.com and http://www.cruel-gaming.com should both point to / my web root..

   Anyway hope that .htaccess file shows something odd cos I don't think its a plugin.

   Try this, it should work:
   
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]


   Make sure to enable the rewriting engine (first line in the code above).

   Ah yeah that works, just one thing.

   going to http://cruel-gaming.com works a treat now.
   but
   http://something.cruel-gaming.com redirects to the blog sign up but it passes http://www.something instead of something if you know what I mean.

   I dont actually have blog sign ups on at the moment but was planning to turn them back on once i had all this mess sorted out.

   oh and thanks btw.
