Hello,

I'm trying to do a 301 redirect all non www. to all www.domainname.com pages, should probably be included in the page_header.php file... Here's what I have:

# <?php
# if(!stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"], 'www')){
# header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
# header("Location: http://www.domainname.com/" . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
# exit();
# }
# ?>

The only problem is redirects all pages it's on as 301's to the listed domain. How do I make this so it redirects the page it's on if it's http:// to http://www. using 301? The problem is my hosting provider does not allow me to do this with htaccess. This might also be something that you may want to include in a future version of this

The phpBB3 zero duplicate is actually checking the full URL, including the domain, so it's making sure about the prefix already, and does not even require the mod rewrite to work.

So with phpBB2, this code should work:

Code: Select all

if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.') === FALSE){
     header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently", FALSE, 301);
     header("Location: http://www.domainname.com/" . ltrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/') );
     exit;
}

++

That's wierd then because things like http://www.domainname.com/viewtopic.php?t=36 redirect as a 301 to the mod rewrite version properly, but things like http://domainname.com/viewtopic.php?t=36 redirects with a 302 to http://www.domainname.com/viewtopic.php?t=36 which then directs with a 301 to the mod rewrite link.

If I place that code in page_header.php it redirects all pages with a 301 to http://www.domainname.com/ (including http://www.domainname.com/) which would get me removed from search engines in a hurry, and it also causes an infinite loop because http://www.domainname.com/ keeps redirecting to http://www.domainname.com/.

Thanks.

I thought you could not use .htaccess ?

I can't do redirects with htaccess like the commands:

# Redirect
# RedirectMatch
# RedirectPermanent
# RedirectTemporary

So I'm assuming I can't do things like:

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

I've tried it and it doesn't work. I think the hosting provider has http:// automatically redirect to the www. version with 302. I can do mod rewrites though.

Did you install the zero duplicate mod ?

I cannot really get how you could have rewritten links if you cannot use mod_rewrite.

About the 302 header, you could try :

Code: Select all

if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.') === FALSE){
     header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently", TRUE, 301);
     header("Location: http://www.domainname.com/" . ltrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/') );
     exit;
}
