Urgent Help Needed again

[hassanzobeen]

Hello Every one,
As I am running a site but I am getting a little problem i.e.
When I use the URL e.g. http://www.example.com/ this URl automatically redirects to http://example.com/ but I want to use both domain prefixes i.e. http://www.example.com/ and http://example.com
here is my .htaccess Rewrite mod code please help me in this problem as soon as possible

.htaccess code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?action=/$1

# Image Access Protection
# RewriteRule ^file/pic/photo/(.*)\.(.*)$ static/image.php?file=$1&ext=$2
</IfModule>

Please post the code I'll be very thankful to you

Do you want to use the two for two different sites?

If so, then that is OK as per the HTTP specs, but more that a little bit unusual.

If you want to use them both for the same site, effectively serving two copies, then absolutely do not do that.

There are literally thousands of WebmasterWorld posts stretching back to at least 2005 on the dangers of Duplicate Content.

Use one to serve the content, and redirect the other.


In your post above, there are several important code changes to make:
- add the [L] flag to both rules,
- change the double

(.*)\.(.*)

pattern to something else much more efficient, and
- add another RewriteCond to the first ruleset (and as the very first line) along the lines of

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g|gif|png|css|js)$

to massively speed up that rewrite.

I don't recommend serving the same content from two hostnames, either. But if you want to be able to use both for some other reason, then you need to remove code, not add it. You may have a control panel setting or some code in another config file that is invoking the www to-non-www redirect. If so, I'm afraid it'll be up to you to find it, since only you have access to your server.

Yes Sir
I want to the two for two different sites & also I want to use them both for the same site, effectively serving two copies.

Sounds like SEO suicide to me. I'd go along, reluctantly, if each served DIFFERENT content. Looking at DUPLICATE CONTENT penalties.

Hassan,

Please note what I posted above:

if you want to be able to use both for some other reason, then you need to remove code, not add it.

We can't tell you what code to add, because you cannot fix this problem by adding code. You need to remove code.
