Force WWW

driz · 2008-08-19 20:47:42

My host allows you to access my site at either http://domain.com/ or http://www.domain.com/ as you would expect.
The problem is that the two differ in terms of cookies and I really hate it, because if i say by accident miss the / of the end of a URL then it automatically drops the WWW?

How can I force WWW. so say if someone went to http://domain.com/about/ it would automatically change this to http://www.domain.com/about/

THANKS> x

To top of your root .httaccess file:

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

Replace example.com with your domain.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^simplecandy.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.simplecandy.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This is my code, how do I make it so it all works together :S
At the moment its now going http://www.simplecandy.com/index.php/

Ah right it’s working now :)
Quick Q though, what does this do?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
