Hi,

Does anyone now how I can redirect http:// to http://www.

So that http://example.com/whatever.html would be directed to http://www.example.com/whatever.html

Thanks.

thanks phranque.

I actually just stumbled across a solution. I added this to my htaccess and it worked a treat:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
