Hi , i bought a script from someone , and installed the script with the installer that came with it , but I need to remove www from the url , i searched the web and found that i need to edit the .htaccess file , but their was no such file in the public_html directory of my domain, i added via cpanel...so i created a .htaccess file and added the following code to it ...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

But still the url with www, does not redirect to the non www url , same thing happens with internal urls as well ..

Can anyone please help ?

      Hi desingshop98,

      Nginx does not use htaccess file. So creating one will have no effect at all.

      If you want to convert a htaccess file across to NGINX format, then you can use a tool like :

      http://winginx.com/htaccess

      You will need to edit you Nginx config file (nginx.conf) to look something like:

      # nginx configuration

      location / {
      if ($http_host ~* "^www.example.com$"){
      rewrite ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 redirect;
      }
      }

      I hope this helps

      Bruce
