Thread: PageRank Differs for WWW and non-WWW URL's

I'll give them a try, thanks for the help so far bogart

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.eesonline\.co\.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.eesonline.co.uk$1 [L,R=301]

Adding the first batch of code to the htaccess file caused this problem when trying to redirect from the www version to the none www version:

Sorry! We could not find www.eesonline.co.ukeesonline.co.uk

Its almost like its trying to link to itself?

Adding the second batch

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^eesonline\.co\.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.eesonline.co.uk$1 [L,R=301]

Results in the same error as in the first example.

I really can't see what's going wrong here at all.

aha! I've got it, there was a problem with the htaccess files, the order was all bloody screwed up, bastard things.

Bogart thanks for the help, top man!

Try the generic version

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Its working now, thanks Bogart (more than worthy of that moderator tag)

Or you can use the 301 redirect in cpanel

Yeah if you have cpanel running

In my case it was, but due to some problems I was having it kept resulting in redirect loops.
