Cpanel / Redirects Interface

[TommyAbner]

Hopefully someone can set my direction of thinking to the right direction.

In Cpanel, Redirects,,,

I need a simple redirect...

www.mysite.tld or,,,, http://www.mysite.tld to simply be forced to use a non www url. so,,, http://mysite.tld....

however, the interface wont allow that,, says its a loop.

i have implimented a dirty fix for it,,, by setting a redirect,,, and going into the .htaccess file and editing it by hand... and it works, but i cant help to feel like that was not the intention of the Redirects interface..

Thanks
Tommy

If you're experiencing a loop issue when trying to set up a redirect in cPanel's Redirects interface, it's likely because the system is detecting a circular redirection path.

Are you using WordPress?

No. And maybe i didnt make my statement very clear. I cant have any www. In my urls or it breaks. So how do i do redirect to just plain simple http://mysite.tld?

The Redirects interface is just a fancy screen that links to the .htaccess file, so there's nothing wrong with editing that file by hand if that is your preference. However, we'd still expect our screen to work, although it certainly doesn't have every option that is available with editing the file by hand.

My preference would be to use the Cpanel interface in the manner in which Cpanel seems to say they are,,, is it not supposed to make things simple and be the control point for the domain server. Even just the simple no www redirect is not possible. I had to create a https redirect, then go in and edit it from the htaccess file to get my domain to work. The Cpanel interface seems to have some odd quirks if u do this,, then those dont count type things.

Then maybe i am doing something wrong,

Type = Permanent (301)
https?://(www.)? = mysite.tld
= / left blank
Redirects to = http://mysite.tld
www.redirection options = Only redirect with www. ( is selected )
Wild Card Redirect Box checked = ( I have tried both ways )

Click Add.

?

so, is that something that should work in the current cpanel?

that is the most simple redirect I could think that would be done,
works when I had edit in .htaccess file.

Thanks
