Hi all,

I hope someone can help me with the following question-

I'm trying to configure my .htaccess file so that if someone types in www.mydomain.net, it redirects to mydomain.net (ie, without the "www.")

I can usually do this no problems on other websites, by adding

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

But if I add these lines to the Pligg default .htaccess file, I end up getting an error message from my web browser stating: "Redirect Loop: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

I'm not really an expert on the language used in the .htacess file - has anyone had a similar issue which they were able to solve?

Many thanks for any help!

Try this

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

Thank you both! I used the first one, which seems to be working ok so far.

Thanks again!
