I can see a lot of SID on all the extra url’s.

Do some one know, how to change that in a GO e-shore. I don’t know if I can access the code and I am new in the “game”. But all this extra SID url is killing my e-shop in google ;-(

:: Put in the top of your .htaccess (swap out frontend for SID if thats what you getting issues with ::

############################################
# Do redirecting to www. here, if its done by magento it will add ?SID/?frontend=

RewriteEngine on

# Handle non ssl
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

# Handle ssl
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

# Remove the query part if it comes through from existing link and has other params
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^frontend=([^&]*)&(.*)$
RewriteRule (.*) /$1?%2 [R=301,L]

# Remore the qurey part fully if its just the sid present
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^frontend=([^&])
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301,L]

Hope this helps

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} SID=([^&]*)&(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) /$1?%2 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

for every store or just the main magento installation ?

In CE v1.4.2.0 (and perhaps earlier versions) you can turn this feature off here:

System > Configuration > Web > Session Validation Settings > Use SID on Frontend (No)

Hope that helps!

Applying the single site version multiple times doesn’t work and doing nothing currently means that non-www version of all except one of the sites redirects to the first site created on Magento.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance

I am facing same problem, and was not able to resolve it using this post.

I checked base url and url in browser they are same.

I get this error when i redirect to payment gateway and my caching is on.

I will be grateful if you can provide me any help on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh

Nice, thanks for contributing.

to make .co.uk domains working with non-www to www rewrtie you have to escape the second dot, in \.co\.uk instead of just \.co.uk:

#non-www to www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.sitename\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.sitename.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

Did you rename the “htaccess.txt” into “.htaccess”?

Between, you should already have a .htaccess file on your Magento installation by default, you just need to edit that one.

It might be invisible to you depending on which FTP client are you using and it’s settings.

I have tried your suggestion but it doesn’t seem to be having any effect… I had to make the htaccess.txt file and I put it in my public_html.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

So yea, what you wrote is correct as far as I can see.

Can someone help me (novice) out here, I’m trying to set this up for a .co.uk site but having no luck… I presumed below is correct?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

But whats the best config for a magento Multistore?

myshop.net/firstkategorie/home
myshop.net/firstkategorie/

myshop.net/
myshop.net/index.php
