How to redirect /x to /defaultsiteaccess/x
How to redirect /x to /defaultsiteaccess/x

Hi,
For a multilingual site (Community Project 2011.10), I am using in override/site.ini.append.php:
DefaultAccess=fre
MatchOrder=uri
URIMatchType=element
With this configuration:
www.domain.org/fre/ and www.domain.org display the fre siteaccess
www.domain.org/eng/ displays the eng siteaccess
What is the proper way to redirect www.domain.org/ to www.domain.org/fre/? Currently I am using the following rewrite rules, as all my page aliases begin with a capital letter:
# Redirect / to /fre
RewriteRule ^/$ /fre/ [L,R=301]
# Redirect /x to /fre/x if x begins with a capital letter
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/[A-Z]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /fre$1 [L,R=301]
Thanks,
Mathieu

Thanks. In my case, I would like to show the default siteaccess so RemoveSiteAccessIfDefaultAccess is set to disabled (default value). In fact without the rewrite rules, it seems to me that ezurl operator does not always include the fre siteaccess when a page is displayed without /fre (even if RemoveSiteAccessIfDefaultAccess=disabled). So some pages were accessible from 2 URLs www.domain.org/fre/x and www.domain.org/x. I would like to avoid this and always display fre siteaccess.

Thanks, I will keep the rewrite rules then.

Personal feedback / note : when using RemoveSiteAccessIfDefaultAccess, take care of duplicate content. If your contents is accessible and referenced with and without /<siteaccess>, then you will have to use choose which URL should be the main one and add 301 redirections with these kind of rewrite rules.
The other solution is to enhance the canonical link feature provided in eZ Publish so that it can detect properly when the page is a duplicate or not (currently, it only works with multiple-located and translated contents).
