domain.com to www.domain.com 301 redirect.. or mod_rewrite... in .htacces

Try it like this :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.chrisstormer.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chrisstormer.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

You must make sure that your order is correct. So force the 301 status code, dass =301 to the r flag

You're using two times the same code, that doesn't make a difference to the result but creates processing.

That should be enough:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^chrisstormer\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chrisstormer.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]

This does accomplish what I wanted.. ALMOST... but it only does it at the root level.. so for example..

http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs points to http://www.chrisstormer.com/index.php

Is there a way to adjust it so that
http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs points to http://www.chrisstormer.com/history/designs

Also..  my final .htaccess file looks like this... now.. should I remove anything?
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]


# END WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^chrisstormer\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chrisstormer.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

try it  with  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chrisstormer.com/$1 [R],
  instead of  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chrisstormer.com/$1 [R=301,L]

that , tacked onto that line?

Ya actually didn't work..

hmm ..  if http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs/ works and http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs/ doesn't your problem is with trailing slashes see
- http://rosebud.stanford.edu/manual/misc/rewriteguide.html   You need another rule to add / at the end of  url requested

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^chrisstormer\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chrisstormer.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond    %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -d
RewriteRule    ^(.+[^/])$           $1/  [R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

sorry was if http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs/ works and http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs doesn't.. etc

http://chrisstormer.com/history/designs/  redirects to the index.php file.. not way just to add teh www. and keep the rest of the url the same?

Tol,

Really appreciate all your help here.. I'm just not sure why this is not working...
