MY Blog & Forum NOT working after .htaccess re-direct code. HELP!

Hello everyone,

I have been fighting with getting proper redirect code to point all 'non-www' versions of my website to 'www'.

I used rediect code in the .htaccess file to accomplish that, HOWEVER, now my WP blog which is set up like this http://www.examplesite.com/blog will NOT work! All it does it show a listing of the directory!? It shows all the files and that is it.

Here is the redirect code I am currently using in the root directory of the main website.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
DirectoryIndex index.htm
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.examplesite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.examplesite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.htm [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?index\.htm$ /$1 [R=301,L]

IndexIgnore *

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, the same is true for my Forum which is also under its own directory, it just shows the files under that directory and no longer shows the forum?

What have a I done? How can I change it back?

I appreciate the help...

Thanks..

    Hi.

    Remove/comment all the .htaccess directives starting with "Rewrite" and try the following code:
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^examplesite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.examplesite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

    About your directory listing and forum/blog problem:
    Remove/comment the DirectoryIndex and IndexIgnore directives and add the following line to the top of your .htaccess:
    Options -Indexes
