URL issue

[jmp04]

Hi all,

Just a quick question.

In my browser i type

http://www.mydomain.co.uk

It loads fine, with no issues at all, then when i click on a product or any other link on the site it just goes to

http://mydomain.co.uk/whatever

Is there anyway to resolve this as i expect it will cause major issues when i come to putting my dedicated SSL on, and it most likley wont work for the entire site (as it has to be one or the other as far as im aware)

Cheers

Try googling

htaccess add www

Make sure that the 'www' is in both of your configure.php files

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.co.uk');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.co.uk');

Then to globally force the www so that you get no duplicate content add to your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.ymydomain.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301]

Replacing "mydomain.co.uk" with your actual domain name

thanks for that.

Where abouts will the .htaccess file need to be located?

and im also asuming that the rewrite rule can be done with https:// too?!

The root of your ZenCart

Try it without as I believe it takes that into account - - besides this is so you do not get a penalty for duplicate content mostly or so your http pages can not be accessed without the www
Your secure pages should not be indexed any way

I did what you said in your earlier post. Worked perfectly.

Many thanks for that.

Will let you know how i get on when my SSL has come through.

Slight issue, when i have uploaded it and go to log into my site via admin section it wont let me login

IE.

When the correct username and password are entered it just refreshes itself and both boxes go blank.

When i delete the .htaccess file i can then log in.

should this happen ??

does my domain name need to be replaced in both sections ( i asumed this already) or does the

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.ymydomain.co.uk$

need to be my reseller/hosting company im with?
slightly confused now

No that is not how it should work
The admin by default has it's own htaccess
Are you using some SEO rewrite?

What all is in the htaccess that is at the root?

need to be my reseller/hosting company im with?

No to this also - - You do not use anything related to them to load your site do you?

I dont understand what you mean?


Should i look at the .htaccess file in the admin section too ?

What is the contents of the root htaccess

No if you haven't messed with it leave it alone
