Apache2 redirect to non-www

Question

I am trying to setup an apache2 redirect from https://www.dolgins.com to https://dolgins.com and cannot get it working correctly. I followed this guide and have the A records pointed correctly. Here is a screenshot of my apache config Here is my .htacess file located in the DocumentRoot folder:

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

Any ideas? Also, I want the URL to change. What would I need to do?

Thank you Joseph

`RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]` `RewriteRule (.*) http://dolgins.com/$1 [R=301,L]` will this work? — Tuğberk Kaan Duman, May 25 '18 at 19:52
I did not according to curl -I https://www.dolgins.com - there was no 301 redirect. — Joe D, May 25 '18 at 20:06
Are you sure? curl -I www.dolgins.com `HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently` `Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)` edit also same with curl -I dolgins.com — Tuğberk Kaan Duman, May 25 '18 at 20:07
Not entirely, but I think you need to use the "https://". Then, there is no redirect and the "www" remains in the URL address box. — Joe D, May 25 '18 at 20:11

It is not. I wonder if apache is finding my .htaccess file. any checks there? — Joe D, May 25 '18 at 20:19
Try a simple redirect and see if it works, if simple url redirection doesn't work either than apache won't find your .htaccess — Tuğberk Kaan Duman, May 25 '18 at 20:21
`RewriteEngine On` `Redirect 301 / https://google.com/` when you make this your .htaccess, and open your website does it redirect to google instead? If yes, something is wrong with htaccess if no, apache can't find/work .htaccess. — Tuğberk Kaan Duman, May 25 '18 at 20:31
I was not redirected to Google, so apache2 is not finding my .htacess file — Joe D, May 25 '18 at 20:35
I have 2 config files: one dolgins_production-le-ssl.conf and one dolgins_production.conf. Which would should have the ? — Joe D, May 25 '18 at 20:42
adding the ... to both the apache2 config files I have associated with the app achieved it! Originally, I had not put that code on the SSL config file. If you want to answer the question @TuğberkKaanDuman I will mark it as accepted! — Joe D, May 25 '18 at 20:47
It's fine, I'm glad that you managed to solve the problem @JoeD. — Tuğberk Kaan Duman, May 25 '18 at 21:05
