Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

If you want to fix it through .htaccess, you can add the 301 redirect to the .htaccess file in the root folder for each individual site, as in this example:

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

If you prefer fixing this on the browser-side, you can use the <base> tag in the <head> section of your HTML as in the following example:

<head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    <base href="http://www.example.com" />
</head>

thanks, never knew the base could do something like this so I always overlooked it. Thank you

thanks that helps! Do you have any resources for handling spaces in apache rewrite? I have some get's that have spaces and apache is having a real problem with them

@krio: `RewriteRule ^path/with\ space.php$ /path/with_space.php [R=301,L]` Try escaping your space with a backslash "\" as in this example.

Note that changing the base URL will affect *all* relative URLs.
