htaccess rewrite question

[jeking]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.customcreationsunltd.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://customcreationsunltd.com/$1 [R=301]

Don't understand why you are using the above but can see where it would cause problems.

I was using that to redirect all traffic to www.customcreationsunltd.com to customcreationsunltd.com I did remove the L because I thought that told Apache it was the last rule.

But thanks so much for all your help. I've got it redirecting correctly now.

Just out curiosity why rewrite anything?
Have you tried just the plain old 301 redirect?
something like:
Redirect 301 http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/large.php http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/index.ph...dex&cPath=1_19
obviously keep everything on the same line. But this method worked fine for me when I switched from static pages to ZC.
just a thought.

Fair question. The old sites (and there are three of them) each have 200-300 pages (not Zen, straight html). I haven't really promoted them in few years and the traffic has dwindled along with the orders. They still get traffic, so I don't want to lose it but it doesn't justify the time to create some 200 301 redirects.
