htaccess redirect non-www to www the full path

Question

I would like to redirect example.com/test to www.example.com/test and example.com/contact to www.example.com/contact.

So with all the routes of the web. Everything I find, what it does is redirect example.com/test to www.example.com

Below is my code, and with all that I have tried it happens to me the same. They work fine, but they don't do what I want.

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

Please, any suggestions. Thanks!

Answer 4

METHOD I

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,NC,L]

METHOD II

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,NC,L]

You can use either of these two. The only difference between two is %{SERVER_NAME} and %{HTTP_HOST}.

Hope it helps!
