301 redirect problem

[pty10]

Hi guys,

Just trying to setup a 301 permanent redirection from  http://www.domainname.com.au/index.php [nofollow], http://domainname.com.au/index.php [nofollow] to http://www.domainname.com.au  using:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname.com.au$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domainname.com.au$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.domainname\.com\.au" [R=301,L]

The redirection works but I'm not able to login to the website. I get the following error:

'You need to fill in a username.'

I suspect it has to do with the guest sessions of the website

Can someone tell me how can I get around this problem and using the 301 redirection?  Am I missing something from the Rewrite or needs to be modify to something else?

Regards,

E

Will try that. Can you tell me what [NC] is or stands for?

Say hello to Mr. Apache Documentation:

There you'll find your answer
