I am trying to 301 redirect the non www version of my site to the www version. I created a .htaccess file in text edit with the following code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^peaceread.org RewriteRule (.*) http://www.peaceread.org/$1 [R=301,L]

The .htaccess file doesn't show up on in my bravenet FTP account.

The non www version doesn't redirect to the www version.

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Please help!


The website is a school project - a website about peaceful literature etc and is located here if this is useful info:
Peace Books

Thanks for your help.

Never mind. It seems I was looking at a cached version of the site, so it appears fine now.
