Unable to get www to redirect to non-www website

Posted on December 2, 2013

I’m trying to redirect the site “www.spotbot.in” to site “spotbot.in”, but I’m not getting it performs. The site opens, but no redirect is done.

Here are my dns zone file and my .htacess file

In your Apache config file, what do you have listed for the <code>ServerName</code> and <code>ServerAlias</code> directives?

I’m not using a virtualhost. It’s in the main apache folder /var/www

I got it. It was an BOM on the .htacess file. Removed the BOM and it worked like a charm. <br>Thank you guys!
