Redirect www to no www

element · 2010-10-19 09:17:04

Trying to do a 301 redirect from www to no www but every time index.php get added to the url. I tried according to http://no-www.org/ and

# Redirect www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

and

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your-site.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This is especially annoying because it messes with mlp.

which and where is your site?

I haven’t implemented it yet …

The reason why I want no www is because www and no www are duplicate content now.

You can also tell Google your preferred domain.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	# 301 redirect to domain without 'www.'
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my-domain.com$ [NC]
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

If you want http://www.anydomainname.com to forward to http://anydomainname.com (i.e. not specifically naming the domain) try this:

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

Pat64, thanks for a solution but it doesn’t solve anything.
The main problem is when I type www.domain.com it get redirect to domain.com/index.php instead of domain.com/nl/
I also tried it on a site that doesn’t have mlp and same problem, don’t want no index.php added.

I have it working with

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Notice the / before (.*), no idea what it does.
But only when I type www.domain.com, when I type www.domain.com/section, doesn’t get redirected to domain.com/section. Is this normal behaviour?

Can you post the full .htaccess? Maybe it’s something else in there. I have it (without that forward slash) working on an MLP site.

Full .htaccess

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
	RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
	# 301 redirect to domain without 'www.'
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
	RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Mine (working) looks like this, as you can see it’s almost exactly the same, except for the order (and the slash). Not that I’d expect the order would make a difference, but you could give it a try.

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	#RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
        # 301 redirect to domain without 'www.'
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.spazio-at-home\.be$ [NC]
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://spazio-at-home.be/$1 [R=301,L]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
	RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0

Weird, apparently the order does matter. It seems to be working now.
