[How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

Julio · #16 03-28-2008, 12:53 PM

This one is different the one that is in the .htaccess file in /forum that came with vbseo

Code:

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

How can i make the one that came with vbseo redirect to http://domain.com ?

Code:


#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

the code would be:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yourdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

If your forum is located in a sub-folder, then nothing additional is required.

Ive set this up in the .htaccess file in the forum folder however some users are experiencing 404 pages when browsing. It occasionally happens when a user logins with incorrect password. Or when a user clicks home from a forum thread.

Don't seem to get the issue myself anymore but when I type in http://mywebsite.com/forum
it wont show the forum redirects to http://www.mywebsite.com/forums//web...ite.com/forums
(which is a 404 not found page)

However if I type in http://mywebsite.com/forum/ it redirects to http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/ fine.

Hi all, hi joe,
what is the best choise for a not expert user like me?

www or not www?

meonet · #27 08-16-2008, 11:02 AM

yes good question, and if someone want to change his first choice, there is a bad impact in indexing?

briansol · #28 08-19-2008, 03:51 AM

www. is deprecated.

meonet · #29 08-22-2008, 10:15 AM

i've tried to use the no www. but in my main site doesn't work

Code:

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

in forum i use this htaccess code.

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} forum/
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Did you update your forums URL in vB admincp options?
