I'm switching servers and need to change the following RewriteCond and RewriteRule commands in the .htaccess file.

Right now I'm pointing domain.com to www.domain.com using:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.domain\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

I need to switch the commands and do the opposite, where I point www.domain.com to domain.com.

You just need to change the URL structure in the same two lines:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

  • you need to escape your www.domain.com to www\.domain\.com and with the one below. Still a simple nice answer Jan 30, 2014 at 17:16
  • Thanks. It's only suggested to escape metacharacters in the regular expressions of a RewriteRule, but not the target. See Regular Expressions here.
