Hi I'm trying to do a redirect in .htaccess to redirect non wwww url request to the www version.

I tried using this code:

RewriteEngine on 

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

but what I get is domain.com redirecting to http://www.domian.com/index.php?kohana_uri=

I should note that I have uncommented the section in .htacces that removes index.php.

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

Unfortunately Mike, that code gives me the exact same results as my code

Despite the tons of examples and docs, mod_rewrite is voodoo. Damned cool voodoo, but still voodoo.
I'm no rewrite expert Vodouisant :-) , so try:

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

This didn't work either. It didn't seem to do any redirect at all.

OK I figured it out if anyone is interested. The code that worked for me was

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

You were pretty close Dave, just needed the [NC].
