htaccess help.

[Guest RAWRoutLOWD]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my url (http://www.example.com/store/) to always 301 redirect to the www version as opposed to the non-www version. The problem seems to lie in the fact that I activated the SEO option in general settings, and the "install .htaccess" command overrides my own. How would I get it so that my www.example.com/store/ always accesses the www version while having the SEO setting activated? I can't seem to find the htaccess file so that I can edit it. My knowledge of htaccess is very limited, so I'm a little dumbfounded right now.

Thanks in advance,

Ray

Hi Ray,

Edit .htaccess in a text editor.

Below "RewriteEngine On"

Paste;

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.

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

Save and upload.

Visit the non WWW version of your site, and you will be forced to the WWW version.

This will force a 301 (Permanent Redirect) to the www version of the page.
