They DO have to enter it again when they enter the site via sitename.com without the www prefix.
I have tried various lines in the htaccess file but I have not solved the problem. This is a basic apache setup...so I am sure that someone has encountered this before.
What should I do to solve this? |
Can you post (or PM me) your .htaccess file? The order as well as the switches for your commands are critical.
Without seeing it, the basics of enabling mod_rewrite are (assuming a linux server and apache 2.2):
1. Run 'a2enmod rewrite' to enable mod_rewrite in apache
2. Modify your apache config file - '/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default' in most cases and change 'AllowOverride None' to 'AllowOverride All' for / and /var/www
3. Restart apache
Your .htaccess should look something like this (and be in /var/www):
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^tentpitcher\.com
RewriteRule .? http://tentpitcher.com [L,R=301]
That would redirect anyone coming in on anything other than tentpitcher.com (like
www.tentpitcher.com) to
http://tentpitcher.com. Of course, it is highly subjective, so if it doesn't work I again suggest posting your .htaccess.
