Hi there,

I have a website that i am doing SEO on and i need both www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za and http://diveschoolcapetown.co.za to point to http://www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za

I have changed the .htaccess file as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
.....
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^diveschoolcapetown.co.za[nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za/$1 [r=301,nc]
.....
</IfModule>

The problem that i have is that it does not redirect correctly.
When i type in 'http://www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za' the url gets displayed as --- 'http://www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za/?url=/'

If i type in a nested url eg 'http://www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za/contactus' it does not redirect at all.

Please help

You can just add Director::forceWWW(); to your mysite/_config.php (I only use 2.4 but i think it will work in ss3 also)

Or if you want to use htaccess, use the below right after RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)diveschoolcapetown\.co\.za$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.diveschoolcapetown.co.za/$1 [L,R=301]

Hope it helps

Thanks that worked!
