How do I forward domain.com to www.domain.com ?

-thanks in advance, tommy

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R]

PS: I think you need to have mod-rewrite on.

or you can do it with .htaccess
More info here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

yellow, i added that to my htaccess , turned mod rewrite on and it did not work. Dothq i do not have time to learn this :/

ps: if i already had a rewrite rule, would this effect it? How eould i do it if so?

I missed a .com there:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R]


This is taken from my own site's htaccess, it should work

still doesnt work... can you recheck the code again. Thanks yellow

This should work:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Assuming of course that you are hosted on Apache.

well what are your basic server specs, i use:

PHP Code:

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