Force use or not use www in .htaccess file on Apache
There is an easy way to force an Apache webserver to use or not use the www (for both http and https) on a website. This is achieved by using mod_rewrite in a .htaccess file. See/use the code snippets below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect HTTPS non-canonical domain requests to use www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com\.au
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]
#
# Redirect non-HTTPS non-canonical domain request cases to use www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com\.au
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]
I have also had need to force the non use of the www on some domains and this is what is in that .htaccess file.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect HTTPS non-canonical domain requests to NOT use www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com\.au
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]
#
# Redirect non-HTTPS non-canonical domain request cases to NOT use www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com\.au
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]
Hope this help someone. (I had to look for a long time to get this answer so thought I should write my findings :) )
