# Notes:
#
# In general these should be few and far between. If you use a RewriteRule
# be sure to add the L flag to let Apache mod_rewrite know to stop processing
# and skip any RewriteRules defined later in the .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.anarchyangels\.net
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.anarchyangels.net/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Try the following

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.anarchyangels.net$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.anarchyangels.net/$1 [R=301]

thanks for the reply mate but this just returns a blank page lol you would think a 301 redirect would be easy lol frustrating

The code given above should work, same one I use on sites.

Have you made sure that in your site's /include/configure.php (frontend & admin), you are using "www.anarchyangels.net" as domain name?

Having followed the link, the answer is no, the server information for the store side of the ZC store is set to exclude the www. Not exactly sure why the old school www. Is trying to be forced, but first ZC needs to have the uri that is expected to be had before pushing visitors to one direction or the other.

Ok I didn't realise I had to check config.php just was putting it into the .htacess file my origianl code I got worked I got that from ZenCart instructions sure it said to put it into the htacess file is is there a guid for ZenCart to show all steps required so I don't make a mess lol thanks in advance:)

Probably need to change the red highlighted line

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.anarchyangels.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.anarchyangels.net');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.anarchyangels.net');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.anarchyangels.net');

to

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.anarchyangels.net');

Looks like we cross posted

What you posted last is fine

[mydakota]

So even though it says define http I put

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.anarchyangels.net');
In its place also I'm not currently using https if that makes any difference

[mydakota]

ok so i changed that to https and now this one works

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.anarchyangels\.net
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.anarchyangels.net/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

but this one below still doesn't work lol I'm sure it shouldn't be this hard lol is there anything wrong with the code that seems to be working vs
this one

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.anarchyangels.net$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.anarchyangels.net/$1 [R=301]
