Just a confirmation please...

Hi. Can anyone tell me if this is correct. I have set up the URL canonicalization and want to know this...

 

My domain name in the back office is set as this www.shopmost.co.uk but in the .htacess file I see my website is listed as this.

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shopmost.co.uk [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.shopmost.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

 

Now if my website is set as www.shopmost.co.uk in the back office shouldn't that be>>> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.shopmost.co.uk [NC] instead here with the www and not shopmost.co.uk?

 

thank you.

No, condition gives the IF part (if shopmost.co.uk)

rule gives THEN part (then rewrite as www.shopmost.co.uk)

 

see also for example here:

and

Hope this helps,

pascal.

so in my back office my website address is www.shopmost.co.uk as i build all my backlinks as http://www.shopmost.co.uk - the http:// part does not matter? As in the back office I do not have http://www.shopmost.co.uk as it is set as www.shopmost.co.uk

 

thank you.

hi pascal.

 

i can not see your reply?

[PascalVG]

Hmm, neither can I... Getting crazy of forum software!

 

Anyway, said something like Prestashop adds http part to all url's, so that will be the same in the end.
