Redirect subdomain from http://www to just http://?

[pablo631]

Is it possible to have a redirect using htaccess that rewrites the a url that uses http://www.sub.domain.com to point to http://sub.domain.com? Sometimes users forget to NOT type in www. when trying to access a subdomain and they end up at my default site on my server. Which is a bit confusing for them. Any ideas?

Hi,

Put the following code into your .htaccess code of your default site:

Code: Select all

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

is this still how to do this? somewhere along the line (i'm on joomla 3.8.2 now) it seems to have stopped working.
