From www to no www.

.htaccess mod

[FuzzyLogik]

I found this code to turn NON-www into WWW, but I don't want to use www.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [yoursite.com...] [L,R=301]

How would I make this so that if you go to

[mysite.com...]
it'll go to
[mysite.com?...]

Based on the function you know that it implements, and the domains shown in that example, how do you think it should be modified?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [yoursite.com...] [L,R=301]

?

That does work somewhat, but when I go to a subdir,
[mysite.com...]

it doesn't change it.

Does that matter for SEO reasons? I think I would prefer it if it changed.

The code, which you coded correctly enough, should work for any file in any subdirectory.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ww[b]w\.e[/b]xampl[b]e\.c[/b]om [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Literal periods in regular-expressions patterns must be escaped by preceding them with a "\". Otherwise, they take the regular-expressions token meaning of "any single character." Also, it is not necessary to ^start or end$ -anchor a ".*" pattern standing alone. Your code should have worked anyway. So...

If you have not done so already, flush your browser cache (delete IE Temporary Internet Files) before testing any change to your .htaccess code. Otherwise, your browser may show you a response cached before the change, and continue to do so for days, unless you force a page reload or overwrite that cache entry with something newer just by using your browser on other sites.
