Pardon the rough title... hard to say all of this in a quick title.
I have been surfing the forums for information about permanent 301 redirects to make sure that a site has all instances of links in that redirect to the EXACT PAGE that they are linking to, but either with or without the www. I found these three:
http://drupal.org/node/38960
http://drupal.org/node/16084
http://drupal.org/node/50743
However, none of these specifically address what I am having trouble with. I have the .htaccess file working so that http://www.domain.org redirects to http://domain.org - that is explained nicely in the .htaccess file itself.
What I cannot figure out is a rule to insert that allows a link in to, say http://www.domain.org/this-and-that to redirect to http://domain.org/this-and-that.
By making the simple change that is explained in the .htaccess file, http://www.domain.org/this-and-that ends up redirecting to the base URL every time: http://domain.org. For some reason, it does not redirect to the proper corresponding page, which would be http://domain.org/this-and-that.
Does anyone know of a way to allow for all pages on a site to redirect to the appropriate corresponding page and not end up on the base URL?
Thanks a lot for the help. I am loving Drupal 5.
