Can't install WP with www.

Hello,

I can't seem to be able to install WordPress using www.domain. If I install using the www. via Softaculous, I can only access my site using .domain

Who's your domain host.

I presume whether you have www or not on your paid domain name, is to do with them, not the web host.

Oh its an old domain I got here on 10x many years ago. I used to have it set up as www. but when I re-installed I couldn't get to work as before.

Ow, is it a free x10 domain name?
If so, we might not get www anymore.

edit: I just tried my x10 with www and it works in Firefox
www.rms.x10host.com

Yup a free domain...

I just tried my x10 with www and wordpress, and it works in Firefox
www.rms.x10host.com

I installed that wordpress a few months ago via Softaculous without any drama.

For myself, www or no www doesn't matter.

Is it important you have www?

 

[cummings440916]

yeah its important to me because thats the way I always had it I wonder why its not working ... maybe 10x changed something

Until an admin gets here...

• I'd make a temp hello.php page (open note pad and type "hello world" .. then save the note as "hello.php") and put it in your /public_html folder
• Then type your domain name in a browser with www.sitename/hello.php

See if the www stays.
