.htacess file format for Apache Server

[karthik-175544]

Hi,

My website having canonical issue for home page, I have written the .htaccess file and upload the root directory. But still I didn't see any changes in the home page. I am copying syntax which one I have written in the .htaccess file. Please review the syntax and let me know the changes.

Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on #RewriteBase /

re-direct index.htm to root / ### RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.htm\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(.)index.htm$ /$1 [R=301,L]

re-direct IP address to www ### re-direct non-www to www ### re-direct any parked domain to www of main domain RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.metricstream.com$ [nc] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.metricstream.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]

Is there any specific htaccess file format for apache server?

Thanks,

Karthik

Hi, there is something: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html, A tutorial: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/1

And some examples here:

First example best describes what you need, cannonical redirect

Hi! I'm following up on older Q&A questions. Did any of the resources from the earlier post help you out, or is there anything we can do to help you get this redirect implemented?

Hi Keri,

Thanks for your message. I didn't find solution for the redirection. It would be great if you help me to fix that issue. How we can do the SEO friendly redirection (301) in tomcat server?

Hi Karthik,

I'd recommend posting a new Q&A question about this, as this is now a few months old and a bit buried. You might hold off until Tuesday US time, since we have a holiday tomorrow and there won't be nearly as many people online.

When you do write your question, it would be helpful to add to your post what types of errors you get when you try to implement this -- just what you have tried, and what the results are.

I also see that your site doesn't redirect non-www to www. If you want to fix that too, now would be a good time to ask about it.
