Apache version 2.2.17
Hi,
First time posting here. My webhost provider installed code to my HTACCESS file for a canonical 301 redirect to www. I have never encountered this particular code before, I have researched it online and can't find anyone else who has used it. I would like feedback on whether this will work.
Thank you
| Code: | RewriteEngine on
# Safe force www prefix (won't do weird redirects with addon/subdomains)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Both of you are wasting server's performance.

| Quote: | | mod_rewrite should be considered a last resort, when other alternatives are found wanting. Using it when there are simpler alternatives leads to configurations which are confusing, fragile, and hard to maintain. Understanding what other alternatives are available is a very important step towards mod_rewrite mastery. |
Getting back to main problem, the www rewrite i made is :
| Code: |
<VirtualHost IP:80>
ServerName mydomain.com
Redirect permanent / http://www.mydomain.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost IP:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache2.4.3-x64/htdocs"
</VirtualHost> |
