[FIXED] redirect all non www to www. for Cakephp site

Issue

Hi allm i'm having some issues in redirecting the non www pages to the www. pages for my cakephp site.

I've tried

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

but it doesn't seem to work.

My cakephp app resides in a subfolder. eg. www.domain.com/my.

i've added the above code to the root folder, www.domain.com/

any suggestions? thanks?

*update

This my .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

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

i'm getting an extra webroot/index.php?url= inserted into the url. Instead of www.domain.com/my/apple, i'm getting www.domain.com/my/webroot/index.php?url=apple

thanks to all once again.

Solution

Your code is not quite right. See below.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # <-- Mind the 'L'!

RewriteRule ^$ webroot/    [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
