no www to www

[mga_ka_php]

i have several websites in one cpanel account. how do i write in htaccess move the domain.com to www.domain.com for multiple domain?

 

my existing rule is

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

 

but i have several domains, my htaccess file will be long if i write that for each domain.

 

any suggestions? thank you.

I've never really used cPanel, but I would assume that since a .htaccess file is per directory, that it would only apply to a single domain. If you wanted to work with all domains you would have to add it into the conf file. Alternatively create a .htaccess file for each domain. Either way the rule would probably be something along the lines of...

 

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

cags, great thanks! it's working! all the domains are parked domains, so all the sites are identical. that's what i'm looking for. thanks again.

but it's not working with subdomains. it moves from sub.domain.com to www.sub.domain.com. how can we revise this?

Hmm... I can't think of a single solution across multiple domains. If they are all in the same top level domain (such as .com you could perhaps use something like this...

 

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

 

...but that's just a theory, haven't tested it.

it's not working. when i use the code the site goes into internal server error
