I have a 2 sets of rewrite rules. This is the Virtual Host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName datingjapan.co
ServerAlias *.datingjapan.co
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/datingjapan.co
</VirtualHost>
and this is the .htacess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have been trying to add the .htaccess to the Virtual Host so I can remove the .htaccess file - below is an example, but I get the site to show:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName datingjapan.co
ServerAlias *.datingjapan.co
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/datingjapan.co
</VirtualHost>
I understand the [L] means last rule to match so I have removed that but it still doesn't work.
What am I missing here? I've tried reversing the rules.
thankyou
