site redirect admin access

[friebj99]

I recently modified my .htaccess file so that everyone who typed in strattapparel.com would be redirected to http://www.strattapparel.com

 

In doing this I am no longer able to access the back end of my store (login attempt failed). When I deleted the rewrite I am able to access the back end again. I would like to keep this feature so that google doesn't think that I have different domains and to help out my SEO.

 

The code added to the .htaccess file is:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^socialpatterns\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.socialpatterns.com/$1 [R=301,L]

 

If anyone has any insight on how I would be able to access the back end and keep the rewrite that would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Justin

this works:

 

 

 

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.co.uk [NC] 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ 

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mysite.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

I added the exact code and inserted my site. The re write works but I still can't access the back end.

 

Any other suggestions would be great

 

Thanks,

Justin

when I take the rewrite off, and try to type http://www.strattapparel.com/admin in the address bar, it redirects me to http://strattapparel.com/admin/login.php so that I can log in. This must have something to do with why I can't login to http://www.strattapparel.com/admin when I incorporate the rewrite.

 

Any ideas?

I added the rewrite to both the site root .htaccess file and the admin .htaccess file and it still doesn't let me log in to back end of my site??
