http to www

[tomukaz]

Hi,

how to do, that when user enters
http://lelele.com he would be refered to http://www.lelele.com ?

Is it possible in DA panel?

Don't suggest the php header sh*t.

In DA panel, i don't think, but you can make a .htaccess in your publi_html (url rewriting on) :

RewriteEngine On 
#All request goes on [url]www.yourwebsite.com[/url] and not website.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domaine.com 
RewriteRule (.*) [url]http://www.domaine.com/[/url]$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

Thank You

Hey,

DNS entry would handle that as well...

I believe DA already puts the domain as a ServerAlias... and I think it does the DNS entry on the DA box as well.

Obviously, if you are using external DNS you'd have to make that addition.

David,

DA (by itself, without the .htaccess file) will put both www.example.com and example.com A records into DNS, but DA does an alias, not a rewrite. So if you type example.com it will NOT rewrite to www.example.com.

Hey Jeff,

OK, maybe I'm missing something...

I didn't think a rewrite is/was necessary for the original posters question...

We've got plenty of sites the can go the just their domain name as they are in DNS and as an alias for the server...

domain.com and www.domain.com both point to the same server in DNS and both are aliased in apache...

Did that make sense?

Thanks, David

Yeah www.domain.com and domain.com point to the same server (aliases), but the user's question was, I think : Ho to redirect user from domain.com to www.domain.com because this user say me Thank You lol ^_^

It's sometime important for some statistics script to have only 1 URL for the index of the website

Hey,

Ahh, that makes sense...

Thanks for the follow-up!

Something fun : http://hotmail.fr doesn't work ... and http://www.hotmail.fr is working ... they need DA for the aliases, it's sure because with DA, you don't have to think about this alias ! Oo lol

(and http://hotmail.com is working, as http://www.hotmail.com ...^^^)

What a discussion Nice...

I have another (maby stupid) question:

There's a site at http://www.somewhere.com/somedir/

I have now a domain, ant I want users to reach the site throuh my domain (lets say www.lelele.com)

So, main idea: Hou to make, that when user comes to http://www.somewhere.com/somedir/ he would be redirected to www.lelele.com or there would be a message "mowed to www.lelele.com" and the site would not be reacheble throuh http://www.somewhere.com/somedir/ ?

Thanks in advance

So ideas?

You can do it with either a php program or an .htaccess file.

My guess is you're not getting any responses because the question has nothing to do with DA.
