I am trying to setup a URL redirect for a Q&A site I am

  • 0

I am trying to setup a URL redirect for a Q&A site I am setting up for Boat Repairs. I want boatrepaired.com to go to www.boatrepaired.com. I am generally a php guy so I am a bit confused with python etc. used by OSQA. I added this to my apache conf file…

<Directory /opt/OSQA/>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^boatrepaired\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.boatrepaired.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</Directory>

It somewhat works by sending boatrepaied.com to … www.boatrepaired.com/osqa.wsgi/

If I remove off the $1 on line 5 it works perfect except it redirects everyone back to the front page. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

    OSQA is based on Django, and Django can automatically do this for you (I am pretty sure this is enabled for OSQA by default).

    If not, add this setting to your Django settings module:

    If PREPEND_WWW is True, URLs that
    lack a leading “www.” will be
    redirected to the same URL with a
    leading “www.”leading “www.”

    And make sure the django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware is enabled.
