how to remove the "www" prefix from domain?

[Elliott]

Hello,
I want remove www prefix from my domain name, so I have written the following code in .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomian.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

For the last few days it didn't work.

Hello,

Redirecting www to non-www can be done with the following code.

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.(.*)$" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://%1/$1" )
}

For the rule to work you need to installed mod_redirect module on your web server. You must add the code at the top of the config file before other redirect/rewrite rules.
