Problem with www.* prepending itself to my urls automatically

[knowledgedot]

Hi,

I'm having the wierdest problem with my server, and I just can't figure it out: every url I type in that leads to a page outside of the main directory (e.g. /website/), is automatically redirected to the same url, but with www.* prepended to it, unless I type the url with a trailing "/". So, typing http://mysite.com/site would redirect me to http://www.mysite.com/site/, but http://mysite.com/site/ would stay the same. What could be causing this? It's really quite a neusance.

Thanks,

Chris

some sort of server setting. It sees that there is no file /site, but it does find that there is a folder /site/ so it redirects and somewhere in the code for redirect it adds the www.

Im no server whiz, but there is probably something you can change/edit

mod rewrite could be doing that

mod_rewrite isn't installed afaik

I would check out your .htaccess file to make sure that mod rewrite hasn't been turned on. Looks a lot like a mod rewrite problem.

Maybe someone in the coding forum could help?

Is there a file named .htaccess in the root of your website? If there is rename it, does the problem still happen?
