Prevent search engines from indexing your site by IP address

Just add www to the condition. My rules are aimed at redirecting if an ip is used, so as long as it uses domain.com it's not enacted.

Just change the rule to specify www.domain.com

when using this rule, which what i was saying originally, i get an error for too many redirects.

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

I am not making this up at all. Any ideas what the story behind that could be?

I have tested this numerous times, and it is a problem - or I would not post. Any ideas why? No need for a PR split.

Ok I guess not. I like being ignored.

Very Happy

I gave you example code, are you sure you tried copying it? I know you think you did, but there is a reason I don't think you did.

Try using my code exclusively (changing the references to suit your urls) and see if it works.

If it doesn't look in your error logs and see what is happening.

Am I mistaken or this is quite different to the download mod rewrite suppled in your SEO.

I have and adapted this

I am also quite confused with which is the "right code" - in regards to your question and mine.

Post your .htaccess code for the forum directory please.

Try this, replacing only " domain.com" and "forumpath".

The top part of that code did it. the www without the domain name worked.

The bottom caused problems, so I combined it with my old code and everything now works like its supposed to. Thanks

Houston we have a problem... that solution created another error.

Code:http://www.site.com/forums//home/future/public_html/forums

this is the redirect that the server attempts to access now when this is entered:

site.com/forums

Now

site.com/forums/ does successfully redirect to

www.site.com/forums/

However, you can see that basically the server logically is executing the no ip and www redirect rule in root, and then also in the forums, making /home/future/public_html/forums the $1 in the forums directory htaccess file.

Any idea on how to circumvent this so

site.com/forums also redirects to www.site.com/forums/

Gracias.

Not allowed to bump in this forum? Well it's your software - thought I could get support here, the flaw is there. Thought it would help your software as well.

What "flaw"? We don't have your problem and your questions are not relevant to the topic of the thread.

Your bumping makes people like me uninterested in helping you, all it achieves is to irritate people.
