URL Redirect Problem

[yourevil17]

Hey,

I have a problem with the redirection of the PrestaShop url and, following many attempts, am unable to find a solution. Basically, it is the same issue as the thread "HAving to user WWW. in front of site URL address" where I am unable to login and add items to the cart without the 'www' prefix. However, unlike that thread, I have my shop in a sub-directory (ie. http://www.mysite.com/shop'>http://www.mysite.com/shop) and I have the rest of my server set up to redirect everything from 'non-www' to 'www'.

I have used the following code in my .htaccess file in the root of the site (ie. http://www.mysite.com):

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

If I add something like:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com/shop [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/shop/$1 [L,R=301]

to the .htaccess in my shop's directory it doesn't resolve the issue.

Please help!

Thank you

try setting up the redirection using the redirect in your domains cpanel

Thanks for your help Brez but I'm still having no luck.

I managed to get http://mysite.com/shop to redirect to http://www.mysite.com/shop, however, there is now an infinite loop of redirects. It persists to redirect to http://mysite.com/shop!

I have checked everything in cpanel and can't seem to work it out.

Is it possible for PrestaShop to run off the non-www url?

Cheers
