Redirect non-www url to www for multistore in 1.6

[qoogio]

Hi there,

I have set up multi-store in Prestashop 1.6.0.6 and it works fine except for one detail, let me explain:

I have shop 1:
http://www.shop1.com

Shop 2:
http://www.shop2.com

If you go to http://shop1.com, it redirected to www.shop1.com (no issue) and if go to http://www.shop2.com then everything works ok. However if you go to http://shop2.com (without www) then you get redirected to http://www.shop1.com

That's obviously a big problem as it is likely some visitors will omit the www.
 

I parked the domain shop2.com on top of shop1.com using "Park domain" feature and shop1 is under root.

 

My .htaccess file is this

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_env.c>
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
</IfModule>

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.shop1.com$
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/]
RewriteRule ^api/?(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

 

I have tried the below solution suggested by someone in one of the thread but it didn't work out and give 404 error on other pages, home page is fine.

 

" try this: add this to the top of your .htaccess file..ensures www

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

 

"

Does anyone able to help solve my problem? Very much appreciated your help. I have been spending hours to work this out but without luck. I am not technical guys

Thanks in advance

Anyone know how to do this ?

I have the same problem. Hope that we find the solution. Did you tried to set the domain address in multisection without www?

[sygram]

Same issue here. Aparently the issue is not with .htaccess . I have added an index.html and tried http://shop2.com/index.html . The file is returned fine. So the issue must be in the prestashop code.

Oh I am happy to found this thread. I thought I set up something wrong with domain. I have the same problem. 

 

Main Shop works perfectly with and without www.

But Shop 2 only works with www.

[AlexMooren]

I have the issue and than whitout the www. if i enter just myshop2.com i get to the right shop. but if i add www or http it takes me back to the main store

[wakabayashi]

I think this is very logical. You probably set up your second store like that: http://myshop2.com

 

We did it like: http://www.myshop2.com

I have the same settings but it is not working

More ideas?

I guess you could try this ( I don't profess to know much, if anything about .htaccess files)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shop1\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.shop1.com/$1 [R=301,L]


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shop2\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.shop2.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hi to all,

 

thanks for your replies. Actually i added these 2 lines in my .htaccess as suggested above :

 

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

 

and it worked

[wakabayashi]

I tried both your .htaccess codes, but both don't work for me properly...

 

They work if I go like this:

 

shop2.com/site-1 -> http://www.shop2.com/site-1 -> correct

shop2.com/ -> http://www.shop1.com -> not correct

 

So the problem is that main url doesn't work. I checked also this:

 

shop2.com/index.php -> http://www.shop2.com -> correct

 

Any idea?

[sygram]

If i am i correct the above rules redirect everything that is not www. i.e. shop1.com to www.shop1.com and shop2.com to www.shop2.com . I added the line to the top of the .htaccess file, right after :

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_env.c>
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
</IfModule>

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

either way you go, to www or to non-www using .htaccess redirects:

 

make sure to match that exact url (www or no www) in back office-->preferences-->seo & urls (domain and ssl domain names).

[tolaola]

I had the same problem but now thanks to El Patron problem is solved.

 

I've change everything under the code RewriteEngine on. I had to remove the earlier code and its work.

 

My code in .htacces is:

 

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

Thanks very much Sygram

usage note:

 

ps can get 'very' confused and create issues with items in cart being lost.

 

so if you use non-www to www

 

in preferences-->seo &  urls-->scroll down

 

make sure that shop and ssl domain has the  www.

 

(this  needs to be done if also if you do the revers, www to non-www)
