Rewriting URLs to force www or non-www URLs

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. #Activate the rewrite engine if it isn't so already
  2. RewriteEngine on
  4. #intercept all HTTP requests to the site that do not have a 'www.' at the beginning of the Domain name
  5. #and then force a redirect to the same page address only this time, including the 'www.'
  6. RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..* [NC]
  7. RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
  9. #The inverse of the above rule - intercept HTTP requests with a 'www.' at the start and redirect to the non-www version
  10. # Ensure that your serverName directive is set up to the non-www name of your domain
  11. RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\..* [NC]
  12. RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301]
