I'm referring to the ticket #12318.

I'm using Apache 2.2.16 and the redirect of non-www to www is always made with 302.
Then I modified the code [R,L] to [R=301,L] and now it works.

My questions:
1. Is this a correct way to do it?
2. Is there another solution because this way I've always to make the modifications again if I changed something in Admin Tools?
3. Is it the same problem in the latest version of Apache?

Thanks
Michael

1 & 2. Your web server does not report the Apache version to PHP. I really can't recall why this happens. I believe it's got something to do either with the FastCGI configuration or the Apache configuration. As long as the SERVER_SOFTWARE environment variable is set, Admin Tools automatically generates the [L,R=301] code for redirects on Apache 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.

3. Which version of Apache are you using?

I'm using Apache 2.2.16. When you check out this website it always sends the statuscode 302 when I use the original htaccess file generated with admintools:

As I said earlier:
As long as the SERVER_SOFTWARE environment variable is set, Admin Tools automatically generates the [L,R=301] code for redirects on Apache 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.

The corollary is that if for any reason the SERVER_SOFTWARE environment variable is not set or set to a fake value then Admin Tools believes it's running on an older Apache version and generates the simple redirection code which results in 302 redirections. Please consult your host about any configuration changes necessary on the server in order for the SERVER_SOFTWARE environment variable to be passed on to PHP for Admin Tools to be able to detect your server version correctly and allow it to generate the .htaccess file it should be generating on Apache 2.x.

Thanks, I asked the support and got the information that the variable is set. The enclosed screenshot is generated with phpinfo() and for this reason this information is also available in PHP too. Any idea?

Seems like the Apache version detection code returns the wrong result. I will fix it in the next version of Admin Tools.
