Hello Everyone,

So I am having issues forcing www for the entire website.

The weird thing is that if I browse on a regular browser the redirect seems to put itself.

but when I do a redirect check on

http://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php

it shows that my http://www.domain.com/folder redirects to http://domains.com/folder

The FUNNY thing is that is i rediret check http://www.domains.com/folder/ (notice the trailing /), then it tells me there is no redirect.

I have one htaccess in the root of my domain that is as follows:

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

This is creating MANY issues when I do crawl tests on my domain, i get MANY 301 results... The weird thing is that on normal and regular browsing, it doesn't show the same effect at all, it does redirect correctly.

Can anyone help please?

lazouche, seems like your syntax is just a tad off. Try this one out...

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Hope it works out for you!

Justing adding to this, it takes some time for the permanent redirect to actually become "permanent". You might see a lot of hits to a temporary redirect for some time, this is normal and should subside over time!
