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

meonet · #31 08-22-2008, 11:18 AM

yes but doesn't work on main site

You should create a separate .htaccess in domain root for that.

meonet · #33 08-22-2008, 11:24 AM

i have already 2 .htaccess files, 1 domain root - 1 forum root

Oleg Ignatiuk · #34 08-22-2008, 11:33 AM

What is your domain root .htaccess? Do I understand correctly that it's top domain URL is not redirected?

meonet · #35 08-22-2008, 11:37 AM

the top domain is not redirected and in the forum our members have problems to log in

Code:

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

Please open a ticket with ftp access for troubleshooting.

meonet · #37 08-22-2008, 12:02 PM

Ok open

Thanks

Update: the issues fixed by changing Wordpress URL to non-www domain as well.

Hello,

I'm having trouble with this, I have

Code:

##AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

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

in the web root and

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} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$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]

in the forum root. The rewrite works for the root pages rewrites

Code:

jeep-cj.com to www.jeep-cj.com

but does not work in pages below the root such as the forums

Code:

jeep-cj.com/forums DOES NOT rewrite to www.jeep-cj.com/forums

Any advice would be apreciated.

Thanks,

In forums/.htaccess you should find:

Code:

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

and replace with:

Code:

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

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

After trying that, the page

Code:

jeep-cj.com/forums

still does not rewrite to

Code:

www.jeep-cj.com/forms

- it still stays the same. I have tried a new browser and refreshing the pages. Still will not add the www to the link.

I thought that the rewrite in the root public_html directory was recursive, but it seems that that is not so.

Very frustrating... Ideas?

Thanks,

What is your .htaccess file in forums/ folder now?

philmckrackon · #43 09-08-2008, 09:53 AM

Per the first post (in the instruction of this thread) I made it

Code:

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

Root folder.

Thanks for the help...

philmckrackon · #44 09-08-2008, 09:56 AM

Sorry - you said forums folder...

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} !^www\.jeep-cj\.com\forums\
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/$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]]

philmckrackon · #45 09-08-2008, 10:02 AM

Sorry, I'm feeling pretty dumb right now... I had forgot to uncomment it out...

It works now.

So, help understand a little here.

The root .htacess file is NOT recursive?

I will need to add a seperate .htacess file for all the folders I want to rewrite and add www?

Thanks,
