htaccess to make www. go to non-www not work on directories :S

**dansgalaxy** · 09-07-2008, 04:57 PM

Hi

okay im using

Code:

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xdnet.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://xdnet.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

on my site to redirect all www.xdnet.... addresses to the non-www version.

this works for things like
www.xdnet.co.uk/shared.php -> xdnet.co.uk/shared.php

but if its a folder like

www.xdnet.co.uk/blog/ -> xdnet.co.uk

Why?!

TP for a working fix

Your wordpress directory (/blog) might have it's own .htaccess file. Try looking into that.

yep, stupid me.. i copied the htaccess to blog/ and made it writeable when i set up the mod_rewrite... all good now

I need something very similar
non-www to www, with subdirectory support.

What I have redirects remodelcrazy.com to www.remodelcrazy.com
but not
remodelcrazy.com/forum to www.remodelcrazy.com/forum

Code:

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

There is an htaccess file in /forum but this is all it contains (rewrite for a sitemap plugin). It seems no matter what I put in there it does nothing.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
