infinite loop on wordpress install? because of site.com\wp and not www.site.com?

    I just installed WP on my site using cpanel…

    The blog would not appear, as it claims an infinite loop because I have these lines in my .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^derekbeck\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.derekbeck.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    which forces all pages to go from derekbeck.com to https://www.derekbeck.com, yet WP apparently requires it not have the www. at the beginning, and thus an infite loop, with the blog not coming up, and I not being able to login in to the admin section either.

    How do i get around this? How do force the blog at https://www.derekbeck.com\blog and not derekbeck.com\blog?

    Thanks for your help!

    Ok… figured it out: cpanel didn’t give me the option to set up the blog as https://www.derekbeck.com\blog, but once I disabled the code above in my .htaccess (momentarily disabled it), I could get in WP, and in the preferences, change the site to https://www.derekbeck.com/blog instead of w/o the www. Then, I restored the code to my .htaccess and all works now.
