Hi Everyone!

Ok so I've rewrited URL in my website, now for some reason, it is throwing 404 error if I type www.domain.com, if I type domian.com, everything works fine.

DirectoryIndex home.php

IndexIgnore *

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/directory/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^home/?$   home.php  [NC]

RewriteRule ^about/?$   about.php  [NC]

RewriteRule ^404/?$   404.php  [NC]

ErrorDocument 404 http://domain.com/directory/404

Note: I've commented the 1st 2 rewrite rules as even If I change them it doesn't effect after uploading .htaccess to server, feels like it's cached.

Additional Info, am using <base> tag which is in embeds.php

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '::1') {

    echo '<base href="http://localhost/projects/directory/" />';

} else {

    echo '<base href="http://domain.com/directory/" />';

}
