order #4739

Hi, I tried to do a 301 redirect but it doesn't work on the front end. Can you give me some info on how to do this. I want all my urls to point to www instead of without.

I went to the 301 section of joomsef. I entered the from url as abcd.com and to url as www.abcd.com. When i go to the front end and type abcd.com, I still get abcd.com

Am I doing something wrong?

Also, how do I do this for all urls instead of just the homepage url. Is there a setting I need to turn on that will automatically do this for all urls?

My site is a secure ecommerce site with virtuemart extension. So we have https url's as well. Not sure if that makes a difference but thought I should mention.

Hello,

this is not possible to do with JoomSEF 301 editor.
You need to put some rewrite rules directly to your .htaccess file to do that.

An example would be:

Thanks jan. I copied the above with my domain into the htaccess file but it still doesn't work. Can you confirm the below is correct.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.outfitadditions.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.outfitadditions.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I figured it out. Minor syntax issue with above. I looked it on askapache.com.

Thanks.
