Hello,

My problem is simple.
I use a CMS which cannot handle sub domain independent cookies.

mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com create different cookie on the CMS.

Is there a way to redirect mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com using apache?
Thanx

mod_rewrite is built specifically for this

Enable the module
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so


Add to your virtual host (if using) or just in your httpd.conf if not

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


Anyone attempting to go to http://mydomain.com will be redirected to http://www.mydomain.com

This is documented!
