[Wylug-help] Fwd: Re: Apache .htaccess file.

>Hi Doug...

Hope I didn't confuse you.
I DID use the rewrite rule but I DON'T now.
So if you checked my site, you would get what you asked for.
i.e. www.countrymusic.org.uk or countrymusic.org.uk


However, I have been doing some experimenting to test your requirements and this code works for me:

# redirect any URLs that don't have "www."
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.countrymusic\.org\.uk [NC]  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$  
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)         http://www.countrymusic.org.uk/$1 [L,R,NE]

You can test it with http://countrymusic.org.uk
