Redirecting non www. to www?

[KenX]

I am trying to redirect my forum to http://www.example.com but it isn't working.I edited my .htaccess and added this code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

But still it didn't work.Need help.

Thanks.

Just tried these. Works as you mentioned.

Okay, if you want main.com/addon (or anything /addon) to be redirected to just main.com, I think you would need to change that to

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^main.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^addon.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://main.com/$1 [R=301,N]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^main.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addon/$ [NC]
Rewrite ^(.*)$ http://main.com/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^main.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addon/$ [NC]
Rewrite ^(.*)$ http://main.com/ [R=301,L]

Tried this and it gave internal server error.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addon/$ [NC]
Rewrite ^(.*)$ http://main.com/ [R=301,L]

What's more important is to ensure www.addon.com and addon.com goes to addon.com and not get redirected to main.com/addon/

Okay try this one

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

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

The first part will only redirect requests which are not (!) main.com, addon.com or www.addon.com to http://main.com/
The second part will only redirect www.addon.com to http://addon.com/

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

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

The first part will only redirect requests which are not (!) main.com, addon.com or www.addon.com to http://main.com/
The second part will only redirect www.addon.com to http://addon.com/

Thanks for your time.

Just tried this.

However www.addon.com and addon.com still redirects to main.com/addon/

Are you using some other redirection somewhere in a domain control panel?

None of the rules above will redirect to http://main.com/addon/ unless someone tries http://<anything>.main.com/addon or
http://<anything apart from www or blank>.addon.com/addon

Just did a thorough check on the domain control panel, dont think there is another redirection elsewhere.

I'm using cpanel.

Could you send me the actual URLs in a Private Conversation so I can try and diagnose?
(Presuming you don't really own main.com and addon.com. If you do, sell them and retire )
