Hi

I wonder if someone can help me with the below query;

I am trying to set up NON-WWW to WWW redirection.
I have tried various examples that I have found
on numerous forums/website, but non seem to work.

F.Y.I
I am running Apache version: 2.2.25 (Win32)

I have the following line un-commented in my httpd.conf file;

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so



Various options of code that I have tried in my .htaccess file are;

Option 1.
Code:

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


Option 2.
Code:

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


Option 3.
Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]


Option 4.
Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.example.com$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]


Non of which have worked.

As my domain is: lmp.d2g.com (I replace the'example.com' with this
in all of the above examples), could it be causing problems
due to it having the additional '.' between lmp and d2g?

If someone could confirm exactly how to set this up correctly
and explain which files I need to edit and what with,
I would be very grateful, as no matter what I do I cannot get it to work.

If you need anymore information please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Hi Bagu,

Thank you for your reply.

Can I just confirm that the vhost config file is this one located here:

Apache2.2/config/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf


Also, do I need to put your code within a tag?
i.e.

<VirtualHost *:80>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

Hello,

The answer to both of your questions is yes.

However, I did not read well.
I did not see that you were under Apache 2.2 and not 2.4.
Likewise, you must indicate other basic elements in your Vhost. (Servername and DocumentRoot at least)
