How to redirect from non-www to www

Hi
I have one pligg based site & wan to redirect from non-www to www, but
nothing worked. I searched the net & experimented with all the possible things in .htaccess. Currently this one is the code in .htaccess file:

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

Could someone please help to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

 

Where did you put the .htaccess file? Does apache have mod_rewrite enabled?

 

At the same time when this site went live. Yes, Apache have mod-rewrite enabled. Thanks

 

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

this is how mine basically reads, hopefully it helps you.
(edited the names of course)

 

Thanks niknar1900, but it didn't help either.

 

the first code i put up was wrong, the current code that is up works for a site of mine, just checking if you meant the latest one, good luck man! Wish you had Cpanel or maybe your hosting provider can help you.

 

Noithing worked out. Probably I should talk to my hosting comapny. Thanks

 

try putting just this in your .htaccess

And see what happens, it should error out, if it dosen't then your host probably does not have mod_rewrite enabled.

 

Thanks, Sebastian Rametta. I solved this. Thanks
