www redirect to non www for all domain hosted

Question

I am hosting sever sites by using virtual host of apache. Is there any way to redirect any sites hosted on our server to will redirect to non www

I want just one setting in the server so that every site hosted here and that will be hosted later will redirect to non www if there is a www in the request. I dnt like the .htaccess change for all the sites individually.

Answer 1

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Just one rule like this will take care of removing www from all of your hosts.
