301 Redirect All Url's - WWW -> HTTP

[DustinX]

Hi guys,

This is part 2 of a question I asked before which got partially answered; I clicked question answered before I realized it only fixed part of the problem so I think I have to post a new question now.

I have an apache server I believe on Host Gator. What I want to do is redirect every URL to it's corresponding alternative (www redirects to http). So for example if someone typed in www.mysite.com/page1 it would take them to http://mysite.com/page1

Here is a code that has made all of my site's links go from WWW to HTTP which is great, but the problem is still if you try to access the WWW version by typing it, it still works and I need it to redirect. It's important because Google has been indexing SOME of the URL's as http and some as WWW and my site was just HTTP for a long time until I made the mistake of switching it now I'm having a problem with duplicate content and such. Updated it in Webmaster Tools but I need to do this regardless for other SE's. Thanks a ton!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Rewrite has been up for a few hours now by the way, I'm going to look through the file because I use a branch of Oscommerce and there are a lot of URL appending things and such so there may be something negating the 301 code I was given to do the redirects

Thank you. That brought forth another problem which is the index.php page being a seemingly separate entity than just the standard URL. Going to have to redirect that too, although I have an E-commerce store and it ends up generating session ID's and such in the URL so I have to figure out how to redirect anything with index.php and that's true for the main URL too I believe.

The biggest issue though still is the WWW versions being accessible.
