htaccess issue

[theChronic]

Hey whats up
I am trying to get my CMS to redirect from the http:// to http://www but the htaccess is having a hard time.

Here is my code for it (I don't know much about htaccess)

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

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

Everything goes fine if you are browsing around on the www version, but if you try to go to http://someabsurdsite.com/thisdirectory you get taken to the url http://www.someabsurdsite.com/index.php/thisdirectory and it says "No input file specifed"

I am thinking this has to do with (this is me just making observations about similar code)

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

and

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.someabsurdsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It looks like similar rules with the (.*) stuff

Could anyone help me or is there not enough info to get a conclusion out of?

Thanks a lot
John

Hey
I got this fixed, here is the new code in case it helps anyone. I just had to switch the order around, I didnt know order mattered before ha.

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
