Hi all,

I am adding this to my .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

So that I can redirect all "non-www" users to "www" users. However, when I do this, I get redirected to www.mysite.com/sapphire/main.php?url=/ and then I get a 404 error.

How can I get this to work correctly with the framework?

Just put Director::forceWWW() in mysite/ _config.php

I had the same problem. Here's what my code looked like:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,NC]

Here's what worked:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

I tried Dan's flags and it did work for me, so not sure what was going on there. The Director forceWWW method is more elegant, but I'd rather have this processed before it hits the CMS.

Yes, the order of this redirect is important. the following is what I have used on my site.

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com\.au$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###
