Hi all,

I am adding this to my .htaccess:

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

So that I can redirect all "non-www" users to "www" users. However, when I do this, I get redirected to www.mysite.com/sapphire/main.php?url=/ and then I get a 404 error.

How can I get this to work correctly with the framework?

############ Redirect for Google
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.lemon8.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.lemon8.nl/$1 [L,R=301]
############

Works for me ?

Just put Director::forceWWW() in mysite/ _config.php :)

If I put Director::forceWWW(); into my _config file, the users going to the non WWW version are redirected to http://www.example.com/sapphire/main.php?url=/

How can I get them to just be redirected to http://www.example.com ?

I had the same problem. Here's what my code looked like:

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

Here's what worked:

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

I tried Dan's flags and it did work for me, so not sure what was going on there. The Director forceWWW method is more elegant, but I'd rather have this processed before it hits the CMS.

Dan, are you adding the rules before or after the SilverStripe rewriting rules? The order is important - it would be before, but I think you have them after.

Yes, the order of this redirect is important. the following is what I have used on my site.

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

Hi.

I am trying to do a similar thing with a .co.uk to .com address but with no luck.

I have added this to my .htaccess file but the site still redirects to /sapphire/main.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase / 
	
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.co\.uk$ [NC]
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L] 
	
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$) 
	
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Marc
