[users@httpd] Rewrite problem (adding www.)
Hi,
I use the following piece of code in an .htaccess file at
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/.htaccess to get traffic from
http://domain.com onto http://www.domain.com which works perfectly:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
However when the root of the site in question isn't at the top level of
the domain (the following in an .htaccess file at
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/sub/.htaccess):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/sub/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
it fails in a certain case which leads to a request for
http://domain.com/sub (note no trailing bracket) being served
http://www.domain.com/sub//var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/sub
instead of http://www.domain.com/sub or http://www.domain.com/sub/
Can someone suggest how I make the rewrite condition / rule more robust?
Thanks,
Geoff

Use the RewriteBase directive or use %{Request_URI} explicitly in the
rewriterule. (Or, even better, if you have access to httpd.conf, put
the RewriteRules in there.)
