apache redirect from non www to www

Question

I have a website that doesn\'t seem to redirect from non-www to www.

My Apache configuration is as follows:

RewriteEngine On
### re-direct t         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar task on a WP Multisite, where the redirection rule had to be generic (for any given domain I'd add to the network). I solved first adding a wildcard to the domain (parked domain). Note the . after .com.

CNAME * domain.com.

And then I added the following lines to the .htaccess file at the root of my multisite. I guess it'd work for any site.

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

Hopefully this will help.

ps. If you'd like to redirect from not www to www, change the last line into

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
