I have found loads of examples of rewrite rules for non www to www but i am just looking to check what the practice is for allowing www. redirects when subdomain already exists...
So let's say i want to enable people to type:
http://www.shop.mysite.com
and have them redirected to
http://shop.mysite.com
Would the sequence below allow this?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.shop\.mysite\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://shop.mysite.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
Yes i know this seems kind of silly but people in my organisation are freaking out about the possibility of people typing out our full subdomain url and including a www. Looking to try and allay their fears.
Sorry for the noob nature of the question.
Kind regards,
C
