strange web address request

[HH-Steven]

Ok, now this is going to sound very very weird but please bear with me.

I have one client who only wants his site accessible via http://domain.tld

he wants other methods such as:

http://www.domain.tld

&

www.domain.tld

to show error pages and hes used:

http://forums.seochat.com/

http://www.forums.seochat.com/

www.forums.seochat.com/

as examples, notice how only the first link works?

Certainly weird i know but any suggestions are more than welcome.

Cheers

I suppose you could try deleting the 'www' record from the zone file.

Thanks for the reply but that didnt work.

Is there any other ways of doing this? maybe using mod_rewrite in .htaccess or similar?

Try adding this to the VirtualHost section in the httpd.conf file (or I suppose the .htaccess file would work, never tried this in a .htaccess file though):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.domain.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://domain.tld%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

This should redirect traffic for www.domain.tld to just domain.tld

Check whether there is 'ServerAlias' entry in the VirtualHost section in httpd.conf file. If present, remove the entry, restart httpd service and try.
