Question

I’d like to redirect http://example.com to http://www.example.com

I’ve try in my .htaccess :

RedirectPermanent http://example.com http://www.example.com

It doesn’t work.
How can i solve this problem ?

Answer 1

There are many ways but I’ll explain you some of them:

1. Redirect using RewriteRule module – mod_rewrite:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

or

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.(.*) [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

2. Redirect using Scripts:

PHP redirect:

 <?php 
header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”); 
header(“Location:
http://www.newdomain.ru/newdir/newpage.htm”); 
exit(); 
?>

ASP.NET redirect:

<script runat=“server”>
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = “301 Moved Permanently”;
Response.AddHeader(“Location”,“http://www.new-url.com”);
}
</script>

Ruby on Rails:

def old_action
headers[“Status”] = “301 Moved Permanently”
redirect_to “http://www.new-url.com/”
end
