URL re-write issue: shop domain name

[thrivenutrition]

I am running 1.5.2 and have been trying to solve this bloody problem.

 

My site is registered under the "mysite.ca" URL. On the front end of the site it sometimes displays as www.mysite.ca and other times mysite.ca

 

 

 

Upon logging in this displays on my dashboard:

 

You are currently connected with the following domain name: www.mysite.ca

This is different from the main shop domain name set in "Multistore" page under the "Advanced Parameters" menu: mysite.ca

Click here if you want to modify the main shop domain name

 

 

Here is my .htaccess file:

 

# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.ca$

RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/]

RewriteRule ^api/?(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

 

</IfModule>

Any suggestions on how to fix this URL re-direct issue?

Hi Thrivenutrition,

 

I am using this code for all my projects, which also uses the webservice. It works like a charm for me.

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://[color=#ff0000]mysite.ca[/color]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.[color=#ff0000]mysite.ca[/color]/$1 [R=301,L]

HI Carlsen,

 

I tried using this code and nothing seemed to change. Any other thoughts?

Hi again,

 

You can try making the redirect in your DNS settings instead.

[El Patron]

Try this:

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

 

if you have 1.5 you can use my Apache .htaccess module to update. here
