[rommany]

Hello,

 

Not sure if this is a problem or not, when i first go to my site it says http://www.xxxxxx.co.uk but when i browse around the address goes to http://xxxxx.co.uk and loses the www bit and that also happens when i hit home does this matter ? when i have seen other people sites that does not happen.

 

 

Many thanks

Hi,

 

Chek your config.php file. Should be something like this

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.xxx.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.xxx.com');

which directory is it in? can't seemed to find any config.php in domain.com folder

[Guest]

Its the configure.php in the catalog\includes directory. I have the same problem but I believe its not only the configure.php. The .htaccess of the domain root controls redirection for subdomains.

 

I was able to modify it to get rid of a trailing slash problem that will switch the sub-domain part. But between www.domain.com and domain.com I am still trying to figure it out. In other words I want to redirect whatever comes to domain.com towards www.domain.com If someone knows the apache config necessary for this please let me know.

Engines treat them like different domains and some of the scripts i have for cacheing images rely on the first part of the domain.

You need a 301 - Permanent Redirect via .htaccess in the root of your web. Take a look here:

Thanks Vger, that was it! :thumbsup:

 

From that forum (page you gave me) I got to another page:

http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum23/1600...ht=301+redirect

That takes care for the loop problem too.
