Need help with WWW redirection in apache
 
How can I redirect my domain to show 'www' in front of it. For example when someone type my domain name into a browser without the www, I want the domain to automatically default to the www, when it comes up ex. So when user enter mydomain.com I want him to be redirected directly to www.mydomain.com and automaticly to see www.mydomain.com n the addressbar insted od mydomain.com. I need this to be setup in a virtual host directive in my httpd.conf file

Thanks in advance

You wouldn't do it entirely in apache.

Step 1. Create seperate virtual host entries for both www.website.com and website.com Have website.com use a different directory.

Step 2. Create an index.html page the does auto redirection. To do this put the following in the <HEAD> section.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1; URL=html-redirect.html">

That should do it.
