301 redirect htaccess

domain.com > www.domain.com

[soapystar]

Anyone tell me how to write a 301 in htaccess to redirect [mydomain.com...] to [mydomain.com....] cant seem to get it rght....

[leoo24]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [newdomain.com...] [R=301,L]

:)

Before the RewriteRule, you might want to add a test to make sure that the domain is actually spelled without "www." before you make the redirect - otherwise you will also redirect those requests that already use the "www."

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

I removed "^" and "$" from the RewriteRule leoo24 posted, i don't think they were wrong, but i don't think they made much of a difference either ;)

claus, can i call you santa? works like a charm, thanks. Leoo thanks for your help too.

Is there a method to do the above, however, I need it to exclude a request for [example.com?...]

In other words I'd like to change example.com to www.example.com except when referenced as a secure server of [example.com....]

Can that be done?

Yes. To do that, I'd check

SERVER_PORT

. HTTPS' default port is 443.

I'm not a wiz here unfortunately.

How would you change the following to accomplish that?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) [example.com...] [R=301,L]

I'll let you try first.

You may need these:

mod_rewrite [httpd.apache.org]
Regular expressions [etext.lib.virginia.edu]

The mod_rewrite link also has a link to a URL rewriting guide at the end.
