Hello, I am using a ZOPE server behind Apache and already have a mod_rewrite rule as: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysite.com ServerAlias www.mysite.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mysite.com:5080/VirtualHostBase/http/mysite.com:80/sites/site/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/site_error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/site_access.log combined RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/site_rewrite_log </VirtualHost> Now I would like to add the 301 re-direction before the second rule is taken into effect so that if user types www.mysite.com they are redirected to just the mysite.com and only then will they be taken to the site Can I just have it: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com [nc] RewriteRule (.*) http://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mysite.com:5080/VirtualHostBase/http/mysite.com:80/sites/site/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] .... OR? Many thanks Norman --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
