I have seen some sites such as Google redirect from google.com to [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] google.com (adding the www).

Is there a way I can remove the www so users are redirected to the non www url. Some browsers are having trouble with the www and phpnuke but all works fine without the www being used.

I tried the .htaccess redirect script in the knowledgebase but could not get it to work on my server which is running Ensim.

Try this man its a redirect code from admins101.com

<BODY onLoad=window.setTimeout("location.href='http://your-page-to-redirect-to.html'",10000)>


this redirect is on a timer, 10000 being 10 seconds after the page loads, just change it to what ever you want. hope this helps icon_wink.gif

I will give it a try but I only want to redirect the www to the non www same page so if someone types the url [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] they get [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

I am not sure how the redirect above will work in the template and pointing to the same page with the non www URL. (ie will it just refresh the page and will the other pages be redirected since it is a template system and not seperate pages).

I was wondering if there is something that .htaccess can do to remove the www or how I would use the redirect script in the knowledgebase for my situation if the above script does not work.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try...

Hi Browser


Assuming your root index file name to your site is index.php and the .htaccess is in same folder and that you are uploading the .htaccess file as a ASCII text file, then try the following...


Create a blank html document and name it
index.htm

Upload it into your sites root directory

In your .htaccess insert the following 2 lines, edit line 2 by placing your domain name in where specified...

DirectoryIndex index.htm
Redirect /index.htm http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE.com/index.php



Here's a working example copy n paste this address into your browser and you will see that I have it redirecting to a sum folder and the www is stripped from address

http://www.blackballtimes.com/

How it works

Using the DirectoryIndex cmd you are able to specify the default index file name for the directory. So we make the default index any file name but our actual index.php name. We chose index.htm

(the index.htm file you created and uploaded isn't really needed, the .htaccess will process the 2 lines before any action is taken, I just have a personal problem with referring to a page that is not valid lol)

Anywho the second line is our redirect code. The 3rd elements to this line is make this whole technique possible,

1. The cmd (redirect) ,

2. Followed by the pages address to be redirected from relative to our root directory,

3. And finally the ENTIRE address to the page that we are redirecting to.

The www in an internet address is not required. This it why we can not simply redirect from our root index page address to the root index page address without the www in it. Trying to do so will just cause a loop of endless redirecting or the browser to time out page. This is also why alls we have to do to remove the www is leave it out of the address that we are redirecting to.


So first we set a default index file name then redirect to the address we really want to be the default index


lmao make sense?

Very cool. Now I know why I could not get the redirect example in the knowledgebase to work, it was creating a loop and giving me an internal server error.

Thank you!
