Need help redirecting x.com to www.x.com.......

on a bsd box, does it have to be changed in the httpd.conf?

any ideas how i can do this?

your host should do this for you

You can edit httpd.conf or you could just put this in .htaccess file in your public_html for the domain.

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.x.com$ [NC]

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

modrewrite is so 90s

in your httpd.conf find the virtualhost entry and add (under ServerName)

ServerAlias www.x.com

catch all

"Catch all subdomains" in apache can help depending on your setup

<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xxx.xx:80>
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
RedirectPermanent / (URL address blocked: See forum rules)
</VirtualHost>

What's been around for 20 years? Apache and Linux are both in their teens.

And to answer the guys question, use ServerAlias, not mod_rewrite. Doing it the mod_rewrite way is a waste of cpu cycles. You'll also be better off using www.x.com as the servername and x.com as the alias.

Why not an "A" record?

HighEnergy

07-05-2007 09:35 PM

I meant a "C"

KrisKross

No, you meant an A record. ;)

You could use a CNAME record, but an A record would be better. It wouldn't quite be a redirect, though.

HighEnergy

07-05-2007 09:47 PM

I should have reread the post :) I also took it to be the same domain?

Mostly we do non-www to www. because we also wait to pass any possible link weight to www. as well. And for that we need 301 redirect, not just a redirect. And the code BoyAlley gave do the job well.
