It may be simplistic, but I do this with a second VirtualHost. <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /foo/bar </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *> ServerName mydomain.com Redirect / http://www.mydomain.com/ </VirtualHost> Since my SSL certificate is configured only for the www version of my URL, I have to make sure that no matter which URL they use to enter the site, they are immediately redirected to the www version of that URL. Including the / on the end of the Redirect domain allows my server to also handle requests directly to subpages & subdirectories with the non-www address, ensuring that those URL are rewritten as well. But this can become tedious if you have a large number of URLs that you need to do this for. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Ionescu [mailto:bobsie...@googlemail.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 6:34 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [us...@httpd] rewrite rule ideas needed.. 2009/1/9 Anders Norrbring <li...@norrbring.se>: > But how can I create a setup that will simple add www to any of the valid > ServerAlias names listed in the virtual host?

Have a look at the last example of the section "Canonical Hostnames": http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html#canonicalhost But make sure, you're sending a 301 redirect (R=301) for search engines.
