domain.com to www.domain.com redirection

[CCSupport Profile]

Hello,

I have eventually got Helicon Ape working within a Win2008R2 x64 / WSP environment, however I am having one particular issue.

The redirection from domain.com to http://www.domain.com is not working. I might just revert back to IIS Rewrite for this job, however before I start changing everything I wanted to know if the following code should work:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www\.domain\.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I understand that this should do that job, however it causes a redirect loop when trying to use 'www.domain.com'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The classic rule from our examples page would be:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} (on)?
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?!www\.)(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)
RewriteRule .? http(?%1s)://www.%2%3 [R=301,L]

you may simplify that to:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?!www\.)(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)
RewriteRule .? http://www.%1%2 [R=301,L]

Regards
Andrew
