why my .htacces doesnt work?

[maxidrom11]

I want to remove www. in mydomain.com using 301 redirect with .htaccess but it doesnt work for some reason :confused:

In my Apache 2. all needed .htaccess directives enabled I guess
mod_rewrite is enabled - I am sure

# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
# for additional configuration directives. See also the AllowOverride
# directive.
#

AccessFileName .htaccess

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>



I set up Virtual hosting for mydomain.com


DocumentRoot "/var/www/path"
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
<Directory "/var/www/path">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>


my .htaccess file looks like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php
<FilesMatch .\.php>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^adser|ref|product\.php - [L]
RewriteCond $1 !(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.ico)|(\.swf)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\ .gif)|(^widgets.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I dont understand why it doest redirect my site from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com

Hi,
Good that you've solved it out, now a simple question:
Why didn't you try using the redirect directive?

Hello,

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect


Redirect works for any domain + all subdomains, so that my be what you want. Furthermore, you can use virtual hosts for multiple domains.

You can try my Apache guide, there might be useful answers in there you might like ...

Hello,
Is www a CNAME entry in your DNS record?
If so, then you need to remove it for this to work.
