Thread: Problems with setting 301 Redirect.

This is how to remove http:// and make all urls http:// www
1. Open Notepad.
2. Paste this into it,

PHP Code:

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


3. Replace "sitenamehere" with your domain. Do not edit anything else.

For example, if you were working on NetBuilders you would just replace "SITENAMEHERE" with "netbuilders".

4. File - Save As - type in ".htaccess" (without the quotes) into the file name box.
5. You'll see beneath that another box with the default "Text Document" in it. Change that to "All Files" as seen below.



6. Now, open your FTP Program (you said you use FileZilla) and paste it into the root directory of your site.

Examples of the root directory are: public_html or httpdocs - just drag the file into that folder. (The title will depend on the software you're using for your server, but typically it will be public_html.)

If you're using something like Wordpress (I mention this because I think that's what you're using) you just put it in the same directory as all of your files and folders. (Such as wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes, etc.)

If this isn't working, I can upload the file for you if needed.

Hi this was the code i have given before

redirect 301 http://newgenresoft.com http://www.newgenresoft.com/index.htm

Now I have changed it to the above code and uploaded the .htaccess file to the httpdocs folder.

But give a try with www.newgenresoft.com and newgenresoft.com

Still it is not redirecting

Can you publish a screenshot of your directory with the names erased or blurred if necessary? That might help a lot.

Are you on an apache server?

Heh, yeah that might explain it :

#1 Server Response: http://newgenresoft.com
HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 13430
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Location: http://newgenresoft.com/Index.htm

As for IIS, I know how to do the redirect if you have direct access to the server (as in the IIS Manager), but since, I think, you've only got plesk, I'm not sure..

Yeah, I also use Plesk so I understand the situation here.
The problem though, is that your server does not appear to be apache.

am not sure buddy, its showing plesk 9.2, while searching in many other resources there all some solutions have been told..but I couldn't find those exact things in my panel

Hehe no sir, the problem is not that you're using Plesk.

The problem is that you have an IIS Server instead of apache. Try reading this:
