www.domain.com to domain.com

[Guest]

Hey guys,

Is there a way to rewrite www.domain.com to just domain.com? I have users that use both, and because of that authentication cookies are set wrong, and SSL certificates are getting screwed up. How can I send people to just "domain.com" even if they type in "www.domain.com"? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi, i want the exact oposite.

my vhost has several serveralias like:

---
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com *.domain.com domain.net *.domain.net
---

Now i want to rewrite all possibilities to www.domain.com
All rewrite rules i tried seam to work after the first slash - only

i couldnt figure out how to do it ...

This more or less describes my problem too.

as mod_rewrite fakes the url the browser will still think hes on domain.com instead of www.domain.com so this wont be of any use for you guys.
i would rather do it with a script. you could include a header that redirects the users if the HTTP_HOST is domain.com. if there's no possiblity to include that into all your scripts i would "redirect" every requests for domain.com to a script that then redirects the users browser to www.domain.com.
i hope you understand what im trying to say

One way to do this is....

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

This will send an external redirect to the browser along with a 301 status message which basically states the page has been "permanently moved.

But then won't subdomains be affected? Like, I cannot have a subdomain.domain.com anymore as everything not www.domain.com will go to www.domain.com...

[Guest]

Yes, subdomains will be affected this way.
And beside that there is a missing slash in the RewriteRule. Try this one instead:

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

is there a way to pick the use %{HTTP_HOST} in rewriterule? Becaues I am using tens of domains and I can not interset them all.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com
# turn %{HTTP_HOST} from www.something.com to something.com then
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
