Default Ye Olde Rocket Forum Domain

I now have a domain name for YORF. You can now get to this site by going to www.oldrocketforum.com. The original way of getting here by going to http://forums.rocketshoppe.com will always continue to work as well. I just find it easier going to a regular website address vs a sub-domain address. If you do start using the method of going to www.oldrocketforum.com, you'll need to re-login to the forum.

If you setup a "301" redirect from www.oldrocketforum.com to http://forums.rocketshoppe.com, then visitors won't have to re-login.

You can add something like to following to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldrocketforum.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Or .. if you want oldrocketforums.com to be the "standard" URL, use:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums.rocketshoppe.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldrocketforum.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.oldrocketforum.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks for the tip, Roger. I'll play with that later and see how it works.

resurrecting an old thread, I know, but today http://forums.rocketshoppe.com stopped working for me...I was lazy and never updated my bookmark...

I looked at the notification emails from recent postings and found the https://www.oldrocketforum.com domain name. I changed my bookmark and things work again. It didn't make me logon again, it just worked.

Had the exact same issue myself. Reset my bookmark and I also was good to go. Maybe Scott can enlighten us a bit to what may have happened.

Everyone "should" be using the regular domain vs the sub-domain anyhow, but the sub-domain is supposed to work. I have my webhost working on fixing the issue.

https://www.oldrocketforum.com should always work.

I thought I did change over back when this was announced, but maybe copying an old backup of bookmarks from another computer, etc. When it happened this morning, I recalled this post and tracked it down.
