http://www.domain.com http://domain.com http://www.domain.com/idex.htm etc

When google finds http://domain.com I want to push it to http://www.domain.com

Likewise when it finds http://www.domain.com/index.htm i want to push it to http://www.domain.com

Basically all of these variations I want to push to http://www.domain.com

http://www.domain.com/index.htm
http://domain.com/index.htm
http://domain.com/

How?

I've seen a htaccess script, but it did it the other way around (pushing http://www to http://

Hope someone can guide me.

 

Try the following in your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^/index.html$ http://www.domain.com [R=permanent, L]

The first rule should redirect every request for domain.com/file.ext to www.domain.com/file.ext
The second redirects /index.html, with or without www, to www.domain.com

You may need to play about with it a bit, but I think that this should do what you're after.

500 error!

I obviously changed the domain.com to my own domain and the index.html to my page name.....Any ideas?

 

It's the last line, rewriting index.html, that is wrong, but I can't get it to work either I'm afraid.
If you remove that line, then it will correctly redirect from domain.com to www.domain.com, but that still leaves you with the problem on index.html

Anyone else ?

The first part(s) do indeed work, thank you. Anyone else know how to move a user/robot from index.html to the root of the domain?

 

I want to do a similar thing but all www. volknet .com requests to be pushed to http:// volknet .com
So would this work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=permanent]

?
