Found a cool website for grading your website (check SEO and how well it’s working) – Website Grader<\/a>. When I ran the test for one of my domains, it gave me a warning that my website “mydomain.com” might not get routed to the same place as “www.mydomain.com”. It talked about maybe programming a “301 Redirect”.<\/p>\n

A quick web search for how to handle 301 Redirects got me instructions for IIS and other web servers, along with some instructions for using “Mod-rewrite”. There were instructions for PHP, ASP, JSP, CGI PERL and Ruby on Rails (http:\/\/www.webconfs.com\/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php<\/a>). But where were the plain old Apache instructions.
\nAnother search took me to Dave Taylor’s<\/a> page, and although not exactly what I needed, it pointed me to what I needed to do. Since I am running Apache 2.x, had to go to the “vhosts.conf” file and make the necessary changes.<\/p>\n

Dave’s recommendation was:<\/p>\n

<VirtualHost hisdomain.com>
\nRedirect 301 \/ http<\/span><\/a>:\/\/www.hisdomain.com\/
\n<\/VirtualHost><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But that did not work<\/strong>, since I have multiple domains coming in to one IP address. His suggestion (if that was the case) was:<\/p>\n

<VirtualHost 70.84.11.36> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
