For various reason you might want to redirect all traffic coming to www.domain.com to domain.com or vise versa.
This is essential if you want to maintained good structure for search engines (SEO) or to generate accurate stats.
Configure no www
Open your /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file:
# vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Find out your virtual domain section.
Add following configuration directive if you want to redirect www.domain.com to domain.com (no www)
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.(.*)" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://%1/$1" ) }
Add following configuration directive if you want to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com (force www)
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^domain\.com$" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://www.domain.com/$1" ) }
Make sure you replace domain.com with your actual domain name. You can see live example of this configuration by visiting this url (it will automatically remove www and redirect you to theos.in domain).
Close and save the file. Restart the lighttpd web server:
# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Redirecting using server-level solution is always better than if done with plugin.
I have written a complete tutorial on how to do domain redirection in Apache, nginx and lighttpd.
