Re: Troubles enforcing canonical hostname in a .htaccess file

["ernst schoen-rene" <ernstsr@xxxxxxxxx>]

The way to deal with this is never in the .htaccess file but in the virtual hosts configuration.  If you do not have access to this, you need to ask whoever does to make sure that www.domain.com and domain.com both go to the same virtual host.

for instance, these lines in your httpd.conf file or httpd-vhosts.conf file would direct all urls ending in domain.com to one place

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName domain.com
        ServerAlias *.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

In .htaccess, the RewriteBase including a trailing slash are stripped
before the comparison

RewriteRule (.*)  http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
