Redirect mysite.com go to www.mysite.com

Question

How do I make mysite.com go to www.mysite.com? I have checked out the other questions about this, but they always seem to "start in the middle", where the user already has a subdomain or static app or something set up. Or knows where to find the .htaccess file, which apparently needs to be changed.

Here is what I've got:

Under Domains:

mypage.com
     mypage.com          no website
     www.mypage.com      website: mywebsite (which has a django app)

Where to go from here? Thanks!

You would create a new "Static/CGI/PHP-5.4" application, for example, named "redirect", edit the .htaccess file for it, and then mount it to "mypage.com" (but not "www.mypage.com").

An example is available in our documentation as well. Hope that helps!

It still doesn't work. I created .htaccess under webapps/redirect. It says:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

When I go to mysite.com it shows "Hello, world" instead of what appears in www.mysite.com

This appears to be working for your application now. I see the same thing when I visit mypage.com and www.mypage.com. If you are still seeing an issue then please open a support ticket so we can investigate.

Yes, now it works, thanks. I didn't change anything, so I'm curious whether any changes were made to my account from your end?

When I checked the site it was working. To the best of my knowledge nothing was done from our end. Perhaps it was cached DNS on your local connection.
