Background: we have 2 departments: Systems and Web. The Systems Dept controls software on servers and clients, and the Web Dept controls the Apache configuration as well as web development.

The Systems Dept has it set up so

http://www/

displays our company's homepage. We, the Web Dept, would like to see if we could use Apache to redirect to a fully qualified URL, e.g.,

http://www.ourcompany.com/.

Using the PermanentRedirect or Redirect directive like
Redirect /

http://www.ourcompany.com/

simply causes the server to go into an infinite loop of redirecting.

Don't get hung up on the politics, but is there a way Apache can determine if it was entered using

http://www/

or

http://www.ourcompany.com/

and if

http://www/

redirect to

http://www.ourcompany.com/?

I think something like this should work.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^

http://www/.*

[NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$

http://www.ourcompany.com/$1

[R=301]

Thank you lgarner.

I cannot seem to catch

http://www/

but only

http://www/something.

That is,

http://www/

isn't redirecting to

http://www.mycompany.com/.

However,

http://www/x/y/z

will redirect to

http://www.mycompany.com/x/y/z.

I have tried both of these variations

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^

http://www/.*

[NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$

http://www.mycompany.com$1

[R=301]

--OR--

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$

http://www.mycompany.com$1

[R=301]

Looks like I had some browser caching. This seemed to do it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$

http://www.mycompany.com/$1

[R=301]
