Redirection not working

getting problem with redirection

[YuviG]

Hello friends

I have a problem with redirecting my domain from non-www to www. Now what is happening when i open my site without www it redirects to www.domain.com/public_html ... & shows 404 error ...

And i want to check MOD REWRITE is ON or not how can i check this ... where could i find httpd.conf file from my ftp?

Help me plzzzzzzz

Thanks

We can't really discuss a code problem very effectively without seeing the code (with all real domains removed, please)...

To test mod_rewrite, do something like:

RewriteRule ^fake-page\.html$ http://www.webmasterworld.com [R=301,L]

If you request "/fake-page.html" from your server, and end up at WebmasterWorld, then the rule worked.

[added] If you're on shared commercial hosting, it is unlikely that you'll have access to httpd.conf from FTP [/added]

Place this in /public_html/.htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Ask your host if you have access to httpd.conf. If this is a shared name-based server, you probably do not have access to httpd.conf.
