Hello,

Can someone remind me how you make "mysite.com", "www.mysite.com, and
http://mysite.com all point to "http://www.mysite.com"?

I just want to make all forms of the URL point to the one main URL but
can't recall where to do it or how to do it. Apparently, I did not do
it in the .htaccess file like I thought.

Thanks,

Bob

301 redirect. .htaccess file on Apache and control panel in Windows.

Hi Bill,

Is this what is controlling my redirects? It is what I now have in my
htaccess file.

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

If so, I now have added a sub domain of "jobs.usernomics.com" that
also works with http://jobs.usernomics.com but it does not work with
http://www.jobs.usernomics.com or with www.jobs.usernomics.com.

So I would like to point the latter two to one that works such as
"jobs.usernomics.com". Would another script in my htaccess file do
that? If so, do you know what the script would look like?

Thanks Bill,

Bob

I'm really not the guy to ask. Trees green, skies blue, that's me
being technical, sorry.

Hi Bill,

Geeez, I was missing a whole point. When you have a sub domain like
jobs.mysite.com, you can't have a www in front of it because it is not
a possible URL. So I won't need to redirect them.

Thanks though,

Bob

It IS a possible URL - just not a very sensible one.

Many people do use www.sub.domain.com, because they (wrongly) assume that
every site on the planet has to start with WWW - those are the folk that
write to ODP in their thousands telling them them that dmoz.org is "wrong"!

But 'convention' says go with www.domain.com and / or sub.domain.com - and
make sure the server is set up to exclude the other possibilities, using 301
permanent redirects.

First things first - but not necessarily in that order.

Thanks Andrew. In this case I have to point to a customized Job Board
located on the jobamatic.com site. My objective was to use my URL
rather than theirs. The jobamatic instruction was to setup a CNAME
change and I had to point to jobs.mysite.com to do that. I did not
understand the www issue with a sub domain like this. So my whole
redirect premise was wrong.

It seems to be working very well now.

Thanks Again,

Bob

You can find the answer on this thread as well

http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145

but for your reference I am quoting that here as well

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

To go from the 'www' to non 'www' use this code:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}//s%{HTTPS} ^www\.(.*)//((s)on|s.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http%3://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Thanks
