canonical url help with directories

Kandevil · 02-02-07

Guys need a little assistance if you please:

I would like to redirect subdirectories on my site to make sure I don't have canonical url problems with them, but am having difficulty. Works fine on root but not on the directories. I am using:

Code:

# IF there's a host field at all
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
# IF domain does not start with www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domainname
# THEN redirect everything to an appropriate location
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domainname.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

I assumed that it would work, but now I have checked and it doesn't.

I'm no htaccess expert but would this work?

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^abc/$ http://abc.com

Then visit http://www.yourdomain.com/abc/ and it would redirect. Could be wrong though

Personally, I prefer to use a php script or a database script.

You could have a redirect.php file and then if $link was equal to abc, redirect off to http://abc.com.

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

that should do it

i hope
