Switching from mysite.com to www.mysite.com


Recommended Posts

I did this, and lost 80% of my rank in Google. I'm trying to set up a 301 redirect, but it breaks search every time I do it. I get a 'page not found' error. The redirect is through cpanel, redirecting mysite.com to www.mysite.com . I have the SEO & URL's set as friendly and redirect conotacal set to on. The site url set as www.mysite.com, HTTPS as blank. Base url set as "/".

 

Also when i try to log in to backend through www.mysite.com/admin, it refuses and just refreshes to login page. I can only login through mysite.com without the www.

 

Is there some setting I'm missing here?

 

The redirect is happening automatically without the 301, which is good, but I want to set a 301 so Google knows it's the same site. I've lost huge here. I can only hope it will bounce back.

 

Am using vanilla 1.5.5

by default prestashop should redirect automatically to domain defined under preferences > seo & urls tab.

after changes, have you regenerated .htaccess file (create backup first!) ?

also, can you try to disable redirect in cpanel? what's going on then?
