301 Permenant Redirect joomla :too many redirects

Question

I have a server with multiple websites in same place Scenario is as belows ABC/123 ABC/456 ABC/789

The 123 is pointed to www.123.com The 456 is pointed to www.456.com The 789 is pointed to www.789.com

now i want www.123.com redirected to 123.com.

i added below code in htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.123\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://123.com/$1 [L,R=301]

But it says too many redirects detected.

Does any one have a solution to this Joomla version is 3.6.4

Answer 1

You have a redirect loop in your .htaccess file, you are redirecting from A to B and then to A.

A method to (uncleanly) address redirect loop situation in the .htaccess file is to add the following to your .htaccess file immediately after RewriteEngine On:

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]

The above should ensure that a redirect rule is only triggered once.

Update based on your update: Please check if you have an SEF plugin redirecting non-www to www. This where your redirect loop might be coming from.
