Redirect non-www to www with new URI Management or .htaccess?

[Jim Cockerham]

I am using Miva 9.00052 with URI management and want to redirect non-www to www . Previously I have done this by added a rewrite line in my .htaccess file. Will this method still work? If so, should the code be added before or after the Miva URI rewrite rules?

That will still work and should be the first thing in the file so the subsequent request that is analyzed for short links, etc. is already using the hostname you want it to be on:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.coffeehouseexpress.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.coffeehouseexpress.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Same procedure and add it just under this line:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.coffeehouseexpress.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.coffeehouseexpress.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks for the replies... I am getting an error when using the code above : ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Try this:

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^coffeehouseexpress.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.coffeehouseexpress.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Try this:

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^coffeehouseexpress.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.coffeehouseexpress.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks Andreas! That did it, seems to work fine!

I'm sorry ILoveHostasaurus , your code does work too ! I did not have the "www" in the RewriteCond.
