I noticed on one of my sites (J1.5) that's running the new VirtueMart, if you go to http://mydomain, it uses a different browse template that if you go to http://www.mydomain!
I tried setting the life site in the Joomla config file, but that doesn't stop someone from typing in the url w/o the www. ----- Original Message ---- From: Mitch Pirtle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 9:23:15 AM Subject: Re: [joomla] Using www in URL Hey Dan, I put this in my apache config file: # spacemonkeylabs.com --- redirect to www <VirtualHost *> ServerName spacemonkeylabs.com Redirect / http://www.spacemonkeylabs.com/ </VirtualHost> I use debian with no cpanel, and stock debian creates separate config files for each domain (in /etc/apache2/sites-available). It is a great practice, one I wish I saw more in the wild ;-) But I digress. For your config file you add something similar to what I did above, and that should tell apache to redirect all requests without the www subdomain to the www subdomain. That is my personal preference, but you can go either way. -- Mitch On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 6:20 PM, Dan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Mitch, but how do I change it to use "www" which I prefer?
