Redirect www to non-www in Laravel with URL parameters

Question

How can I redirect URL from www.myapp.co to myapp.co ? And also if the URL has other parameter like www.myapp.co/other-parameter will be redirected to myapp.co/other-parameter where the other-parameter can be anything. Sorry for this noob question, I am still 1 week in using Laravel.

BTW, I am using dynamic subdomain so I need only the redirect www to non-www and not the other subdomains.

Route::group(array('domain' => 'myapp.co'), function() {

    Route::get('/', function() {
        return 'Hello! Welcome to main page...';
    });
    Route::get('/login', function() {
        return 'Login';
    });
    Route::get('/signup', function() {
        return 'Signup';
    });

});

Route::group(array('domain' => '{account}.myapp.co'), function() {

    Route::get('/', function($account) {

        if ($account == 'www') {
            return Redirect::to('http://myapp.co');
        }
        return $account;
    });

});

@Bogdan The one which you have mentioned is the opposite of what OP asked. It's not a duplicate. Its the opposite. — Anbuselvan Rocky, Sep 28 '22 at 20:10

If you really want to treat your problem programmatically I think the best solution is to add the next code to your filters.php:

App::before(function($request){
   //Remove the 'www.' from all domains
   if (substr($request->header('host'), 0, 4) === 'www.') {
      $request->headers->set('host', 'myapp.co');
      return Redirect::to($request->path());
   }
});

Basically I am just creating a filter to check if the request starts with 'www.' and in this case redirecting the client to the same path without the 'www.'.

I had to do the redirect inside the code, and this was perfect! – Patrick Dec 17 '14 at 02:33
Just if anyone facing this issue, when I used above code then I faced "Class App\Http\Controllers\Redirect not found" issue that I solved mentioning "use Redirect" at top – Jass Nov 04 '18 at 09:52

Maybe you can use a .htaccess inside thepublic folder to do the redirection.

Here is one:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !localhost
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.+)\.(.+)\.(.+)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Basicaly here I'm testing if the host is not localhost and not a subdomain (form abc.xyz.tldn) before issuing a redirect to www. I'm using this sort of code in multiple projects but havn't tested it. I hope it will work out of the box.

Edit: Another way to do it without complex pattern matching is described here: Redirect non www to wwww in htaccess But this solution require you to hardcode your domain name inside the htaccess. (may or may not be a problem depending on your setup)

Thanks, it works. But I have a problem. When I try `test1.myapp.co` I was redirected to `www.test1.myapp.co` which I don't want. I only want it to become `test1.myapp.co`. – Port 8080 Nov 05 '14 at 10:12
BTW, it works on firefox. Maybe I need to delete cache in chrome. – Port 8080 Nov 05 '14 at 10:15

Add the following code to your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

Try this from http://stackoverflow.com/a/4958847/1078583 If this didn't work it is because you are using nginx

# Force WWW:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
