.htaccess for .co.uk domain with hyphens

[Spider-Man]

Hi

I am trying to alter an .htaccess file for a script to run on my server.

My .htaccess is as follows, for domain www.my-domain-name.co.uk

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-domain-name.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.my-domain-name.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my-domain-name.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.my-domain-name.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

However, when I try to view the site in firefox, I get an error about the page not redirecting properly, so there must be an issue with the above htaccess rules - can anyone spot the problem?

Thanks for your help!

Your code is very wrong ... it seems to me that your objective is to redirect to the www version, is that so?

Try this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I use this:

#301 reditect
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.co\.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.co.uk/$1 [R=permanent,L]

I have used that successfully on hundreds of sites.
