removing trailing slash and non-www to www - using .htaccess

Question

I'm facing an issue with .htacess when combining 2 mod_rewrite at the same time:

remove trailing slash
redirect non-www to www

Here is my .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # Redirect non-www to www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L] # Remove trailing slash RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

They worked perfectly when I just used one of them, but when i put them together, the page just keep loading like forever.

Please help me to find a way that can use both of them in the same .htaccess

Try this:

RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteBase / #Non www to www without trailing slash RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(domain\.com)/?$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*/?[^/]+)/?$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,OR] RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com [R=301,L]

Results:

http://domain.com/aa/ to http://ww.domain.com/aa

http://domain.com/aa/bb/ to http://ww.domain.com/aa/bb, etc.

All except http://domain.com/ that always will be http://www.domain.com/with trailing slash

Why is not working? If you write http://domain.com it will take you to http://www.domain.com. If you write http://domain.com/ it will take you to http://www.domain.com As far as I can see, that's exactly what your asking. Here it is: remove trailing slash redirect non-www to www

its not working in case: www.domain.com/abc/ (abc can be a folder or just a url rewirted), its not remove the trailing slash. Any chance to remove this kind of trailing slash too?

Updated my answer, should work with any path. If it doesn't, please let me know to test it.

NON-WWW URLS TO WWW USING HTACCESS:

You can add the following code to your .htaccess file, you can find it in your website root directory, if you don't find it you can copy this in a text editor and save it as .htaccess, then upload it.

p.s.: Make sure that you backup the .HTACCESS file before you proceed. Incorrect codes can lead to 500 errors.

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

Remove trailing slash

Be careful when turning off the trailing slash. If your host has mod_dir enabled, make sure that you turn off the directory slash, which is enabled by default. This directive will add a trailing slash at the end of a directory regardless of the rules you set up. To disable this, add this to the top of your htaccess file:

  DirectorySlash Off

Your browser and even your server, by default, add a trailing slash to a directory. It is done for a reason. If you must strip the trailing slash though, this is how you would do it:

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
