I want to redirect non www to www and index.html to root but it is not working, I have used the following code but when I type http://mydomain.net/about-us.html it redirects to http://www.mydomain.net/html/about-us.html



RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.mydomain\.net)?$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.html?$ http://www.mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]
#indexhtml #issue #redirect non www to www #redirecting #root #www

    You have .html?$ in the code, that's why it's adding html to url.
    Try this:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    There are few solutions.
    First, can't you move your /html folder to root?
    Second, if you have cpanel, you can add domain to particular folder like /public_html/html.
    Tie it up for mysite.com. It should work.

    Third, if you can't solve it - look at this link: Redirecting Subdirectories to the Root Directory via HTAccess | Perishable Press. Good luck.

        What kind of error? What's kind of site, wordpress, some cms, or plain html?
        Here's how to add a domain through cpanel, you just need set correct path (like /home/public_html/html, which you can see when you connect via ftp, to access your site files).

    Add

    RewriteBase /

    after RewriteEngine On

    Change RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L] to

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]

      I have added this code

      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /
      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.abc\.net)?$
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.abc.net/$1 [R=301,L]

      but when I type http://abc.net it gets redirected to http://www.abc.net/html/ and I got this message

      The requested URL /html/ was not found on this server.

    Do you have another .htaccess at the www root directory (on the same level as you /html directory)

      I have added code in the .htaccess file at root level but if you want then I will copy .htaccess file to HTML folder

    If your site is in /html folder, then why do you edit .htaccess in the root folder?

      I moved htaccess to html folder and it worked fine. Now no issue

      THANKS A TON

    Assuming you are running apache, in the server's conf file, there is a directive for ServerRoot, which in your case should point to the html subdirectory (i.e., ServerRoot "/var/www/html" ).
