Question

I’m facing an issue with .htacess when combining 2 mod_rewrite at the same time:

• remove trailing slash
• redirect non-www to www

Here is my .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Redirect non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

They worked perfectly when I just used one of them, but when i put them together, the page just keep loading like forever.

Please help me to find a way that can use both of them in the same .htaccess

Try this:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
#Non www to www without trailing slash
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(domain\.com)/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/?[^/]+)/?$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,OR]
RewriteRule  .* http://www.domain.com [R=301,L]

Results:

http://domain.com/aa/ to http://ww.domain.com/aa

http://domain.com/aa/bb/ to http://ww.domain.com/aa/bb, etc.

All except http://domain.com/ that always will be http://www.domain.com/with trailing slash
