What would cause www to disappear?

I'm running redhat linux with apache and if I navigate to my site without ending in a / then it basically redirects and strips off the worldwideweb.

It's kind of hard to explain without showing an example, but I'm not allowed to type URL's.

are you talking about the site that runs off your apache?

Yep. So I guess that means it's an apache setting? I figured it was probably something in the .htaccess but I'm not sure what would do it. I've tried temporary deleting .htaccess and get the same results.

I found a way around it. I was searching on another forum and came across a suggestion to add the following to your .htaccess:

Quote:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

I think there is a way to do this serverwide though.
