Rewrite rule adding extra slash after URL

Hi,

I'm using the following rewrite rule to redirect example.com to www.example.com in apache.

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Problem is, after redirecting to www.example.com it's adding an extra "/". So it's like "http://www.example.com//".

Help Please!

are you attached to that company in any way? If not, please don't use domain names you don't own as arbitrary examples. That's why the example domains like example.com, example.net or example.org have been invented (see RFC 2606 for more details).

Yes, because that's what your rule demands:
It says "Take 'http://www.domain.com/' and append the contents of $1".
And $1 contains the local part of the HTTP URL, which always begins with a slash - in this case just '/' for the root document. Leave the trailing slash in your RewriteRule away.

Thanks for the Tips regarding example.com.

After removing $ from the rules it worked! Thanks!
