htaccess redirect www to non-www causing problem with inner pages

Question

I have added below rules in htaccess file to redirect www to non-www.

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

But when I access like www.mysite.com/1/question-title it is redirecting to mysite.com/index.php?qa-rewrite=1/question-title and throws a 404 error.
In other words I want to redirect all www pages to non-www and I am stuck.

Please help :)

Answer 1

Try adding the redirect rules after </IfModule>. It worked for me.

It's not working. I tried the below code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
