How to permanently redirect mydomain.com to WWW.madomain.com?

[toplisek]

I would like to know hiw is correct code to permanently redirect to

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [mydomain.com...] [R=permanent,L]

This code does not work.

In what way does it not work?

You probably need

RewriteEngine On

too.

^(.*)$

simplifies to

(.*)

Can you put all code? I'm new to this.thank you

this works for me:

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

^(.*)$

simplifies to

(.*)
