    I am trying to redirect http://example.com to http://www.example.com

    THe site is using wordpress and I can't find an existing htaccess file so I created a new one with the following code. I saved it in the root folder of the site. I am using hostgator with add on domains.


    But this throws the server in a loop that will never resolve. I am not sure if I have to find an existing htaccess file and add to it or this file is in the wrong place.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Try

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com/ [L,R=301]

    Thanks for the quick reply
    I copied it straight but still get an error. I think there may be an existing htaccess that is conflict but I can't find it using cpanel or my ftp client?
