[TYPO3-ttnews] Force www vs non-www to avoid duplicate content on Google and RealUrl

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Trine,

The reason it will not work is because mod_rewrite will try to rewrite 
internally after executing the non-www to www redirect resulting in the 
rewrite being captured by the TYPO3 'catch all' rewrite rule.

In order to prevent this you simply need to specify the 'L' flag in the 
non-www to www rewrite rule which stands for 'last', preventing any 
further internal rewrites from occuring.

The following should work:

### Enable mod_rewrite ###
RewriteEngine On

### Restrict domain access ###
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.your_domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your_domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

### TYPO3 ###
RewriteRule ^typo3$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3/.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php

HTH,

Oliver
