Question
Trying to switch domain from non www to www
Hi everyone,
I really need some help…I’m a noob :)
I installed a site on DO using easyengine. I am able to get Wordpress to install and add content and such.
When I go into WP admin and change the site from nonwww to www the site crashes. The nonwww version works fine and 301’s the www version.
I am trying to follow these instructions:
Here is my problem. I followed the instructions. I opened up Putty, logged in and entered: sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
After that loads, I get some white and blue text.
I enter :
server {
listen 80;
servername example.com;
return 301 $scheme://www.example.com$requesturi;
}
Of course swapping out the example.com for my domain.
After I do that, I can’t figure out how to save the file.
I think that’s the last step where I get lost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
