Hello People,
In my DNS setting I added A record of www for our company website.
It works, when you go to http://www.mycompany.com; it resolves and it shows the website content.
But in addition, I want also some kind of redirection or mapping (i don't know what you called that) that when people go to http://mycompany.com (without www), it should forward also to the www server.
How to do it? Thanks in advance.
If you are using apache as the webserver, you can create a redirect to it:
Here is an apache2 mod_rewrite example:
# For sites running on a port other than 80 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fully.qualified.domain.name [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://fully.qualified.domain.name:%%7BSERVER_PORT%7D/$1 [L,R]
# And for a site running on port 80 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fully.qualified.domain.name [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://fully.qualified.domain.name/$1 [L,R]
More Info:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
If you are running any other webserver...check it's docs.
It's probably better for your webserver to simply do:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName dag.wieers.be ServerAlias www.dag.wieers.com www.dag.wieers.be Redirect Permanent / http://dag.wieers.com/ </VirtualHost>
Since the Redirect is restricted to the VirtualHost and there are no expensive regular expressions involved.
Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
