How to redirect non-www pages to www pages ?

[senaia]

Hello

I want to redirect all the non-www forum url's including the main page, to www. Is there a mod/hack to do this for me ?

I tried a few commands in .htaccess, the main page would be redirected but the rest the pages would give an error page.

Any advice/help is appreciated. Thank You.

I use In .htaccess

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

Thanks but its not working for me.

Only the main page works and the non-www pages would give an error, instead of redirecting to www.

Try this, my version is rather more complicated because it's done for multiple domains but I think this is how it started out.

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

Hmm, nothing happens using this code. No errors or redirect or anything, it just stays the same. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help

I believe this case is exactly the opposite, so it should go:

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