301 Redirect htaccess

[Boxxer]

Hey guys

i have a Problem,

As you know indexu has "http://mysite.com" paths but i wanted to change this to "http:www.mysite.com"

I tried some htaccess modifications and could get it to work, but when a User clicks on "add a listing" and choose a category. He is redirected back to add.php, i switched back to the original htacces which looks as follows:

# INDEXU-START
php_value error_reporting 7
# DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
# status: 1
# pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
# pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On


RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*).html detail.php?linkid=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

# INDEXU-END


So does anybody have perfect piece of code for that 301 Redirect?

Place this AFTER # INDEXU-END

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomain.com/

Bruce i thank you, seems to work fine but when i go to the categories it says 404 "browse.php" not found, do you have any fix for that?


my .htaccess looks now as follows:

# INDEXU-START
php_value error_reporting 7
# DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
# status: 1
# pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
# pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On


RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*).html detail.php?linkid=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

# INDEXU-END

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomain.com/

EDIT: yes i replaced the "yourdomain.com" with mine

EDIT2: Cant log into admin panel with the code above

[Bruceper]

The rewrite I gave you won't affect categories, admin or anything else. All it will do is redirect from http://mysite to http://www.mysite

Perhaps the addition of

rewriteBase /

just below # INDEXU-END will fix the issue

When i did this:

# INDEXU-START
php_value error_reporting 7
# DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
# status: 1
# pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
# pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mysite.com/

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On


RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*).html detail.php?linkid=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

# INDEXU-END

I could browse trough the categories and everything seems to be ok, but cant login to admin panel to update the category path, i think its the same when a user wants to login with "my account", so maybe anyone has a fix for that? It would be great if other Users here could post their htaccess files in here because my solution doesnt seem to be the perfect one...

Here's one of my .htaccess files, it's identical to most of the others that I use other than the domain name.

# INDEXU-START

# DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
# status: 1
# pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
# pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html
# pattern_tag: tag/{$tag}/more{$page}.html

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*).html detail.php?linkid=$1
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*)/more(.*).html browsetag.php?tag=$1&pg_which=$2
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*) browsetag.php?tag=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

# INDEXU-END

DirectoryIndex index.php
Options +FollowSymlinks All -Indexes
rewriteBase /

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