.htaccess troubles

Mar 9th, 2009

I have a .htaccess file which forwards non www request to www

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

However, I have a problem if i were to put into the url mysite.com/test.php it will not forward to the www site. Any help on how i can get this fixed would be greatly appreciated. It does work if I just put mysite.com it will forward it to http://www.mysite.com. It just doesn't work when i add mysite.com/test.php

Thanks.

Is it a linux server with apache mod-rewrite module installed? Why not use a simple html redirect

this wouldnt work because I have multiple websites hosted on this linux server. That would redirect all of the websites that resolve to my ipaddress
