Apache mod_rewrite [Have-Host]

Off Topic
1

I have on Have-Host a website that when you go to:

http://macusersuk.org/offers/offers.php

Instead of:

http://www.macusersuk.org/offers/offers.php

And try to get an offer code, the user gets this error:

You may not access this page directly: please follow the correct route
Referrer was:  
http://macusersuk.org/offers/requestoffercode.php?OfferCode=IPNM

Is there an easy way to use mod_rewrite function to change incoming requests
for http://macusersuk.org to http://www.macusersuk.org

???

Best wishes Peter

This in your .htaccess file may well do the job:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.macusersuk.org$1 [R=301,L]

Cheers Paul, much appreciated.

I’m interested in your Joomla actions, I’ll be looking at them over the next
few weeks ;~}}

This is one of the classic examples given in the Mod Rewrite manual:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

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

The key to this is to not rewrite all requests to www, Paul’s solution absolutely will work, but it will put all requests through the redirect. The first two lines of this rule check to see if the host is already correct, or if it’s missing, and only if it’s missing, then redirect.

Hello!

Popping in here to say that the domain is not pointing to the
server… it is being redirected… This means that there is no A
Record for the domain… The server is configured to recognize both www.domain.blah
or domain.blah.

Cheers!
