Question

I would like to modify my .htaccess file so that when someone comes into my site without typing www the site always redirects them to the www version. For example, if my url is http://www.abc.com and they just type abc.com, I want to redirect them to abc.com.

Here is my current htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]  
</IfModule>

Normally I know how to do the redirect, but im having issues since it already has those few lines in there.

Answer 1

Add something like this immediately after RewriteEngine on:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301]
