301 redirect to remove www in url.

Hi umbraco forum.

I used to work mainly with php, but transitioned to umbraco. Some of the things i used to control in the .htaccess file, im having trouble doing in the umbraco cms.

Genereally im having trouble understanding the whole setup with the web.config file, and the config folder.

Also i cant seem to make the 301 redirect work, to remove www from my url. I have tried various solutions from 4 different sources, but it just wont work.

I hope you can help me out :)

Best regards.

Hi Asger!

The web.config is a ASP.NET web application file, and the config folder is Umbraco specific settings files. Is there anything in specific that you fine confusing about these two?

When it comes to your 301, this one is used in one of our site and it works great. It should be placed in your web.config, within configuration/system.webServer:
```
<rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Redirect to non-www" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="www\.yourdomain\.com$" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://yourdomain.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
```
Hope it helped!

Have a great day!

Maybe a given, but just in case: Did you replace "yourdomain.com" with the url for the website?
