.htaccess redirection problem

[davidjennings]

Hi

I am trying to redirect a url in the htaccess file.

RewriteEngineOn
RewriteRule ^wakins.co.uk$ http://www.watkins.co.uk [R=301,L]

and I have also tried this

RewriteEngineOn
RewriteRule ^/wakins.co.uk$ http://www.watkins.co.uk [R=301,L]

Thanks in advance

Hi

The correct wording for this is non www url redirect and i have found the answer
here
https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_redirect_www_urls_to_nonwww/

RewriteEngineOn
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^watkins.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.watkins.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks for those of you that looked at the post.
