Thread: .htaccess

Just noticed that you havn't got a .htaccess file for web forwarding.

http://graphicdesignforums.co.uk and http://www.graphicdesignforums.co.uk

are classed as two different sites.

Is that a bad thing? I haven't a clue about that kind of stuff :)

When google crawls sites it will look at http://graphicdesignforums.co.uk and http://www.graphicdesignforums.co.uk as two different websites and you can get marked down for it.

Make a text file and save it as .htaccess with this inside it:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.graphicdesignforums\.co\.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.graphicdesignforums.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

good to know that mate. :icon_thumbup:

Cheers Timmo

Meant to do that ages ago.

Many thanks :icon_thumbup:
