Remove www from domain

[OldDragon]

Hi @all

does anybody know if it is possible (and how) to remove the www from the url? so http://www.website.com/.../ is redirected to http://website.com/.../ ?

For the rest of my website I managed to do this with mod-rewrite, but somehow serendipity ignores that. And I am not sure if touching serendipity's htaccess is the best solution.

Any ideas?

Try this!

• Admin / Configuration / Path /URL to blog
  Type the complete URL to your blog homepage without the "www.". E.g.

  Code: Select all

  http://example.com/
  http://example.com/blog/

• And set Autodetect used HTTP-host to no

Done.

That's what I did first, but URLs with www won't change.

Hi!

John's tipp will only make the "no-www" address work, but not redirect "www" to "no-www".

To do that, you need to add a custom .htaccess rule, so you must insert the rule you use for the rest of your website into s9y's .htaccess (best before the #BEGIN S9Y statement)

The Domain is olddragon.de and the blog is at olddragon.de/weblog/.

So I tried

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

But that does not work.
