Question

What would be the best way to redirect codeigniter website to www domain? The only way that comes to my mind is to use htaccess for this but can’t figure out exactly how. This is the rewrite rule I’m using right now to remove index.php from the url. How should I add the redirection to www domain correctly?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|uploads|robots\.txt|favicon\.png|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

See this URL

.htaccess Redirect non-WWW to WWW preserving URI string

Or try it

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mysite.com [NC]

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

Another example

See this URL

Codeigniter redirects for a new domain

Try it

Try adding the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory of your http://www.xyz.com site.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase / 

#redirect www.xyz.com/A/B/controller/function
#www.xyz.com/B/controller/function
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.xyz\.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule ^A/(B/[\w]+/[\w]+)$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]


#redirect www.xyz.com/A/controller/function to
#www.abc.com/controller/function
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.xyz\.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule ^A/([\w]+/[\w]+)$ http://www.abc.com/$1 [L,NC,R=301]
