Hi,  
I have some problems with a htacces file maybe someone familiar with this?

I use this script on several pages and it working fine

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} ^graphicid.nl RewriteRule (.\*) [http://www.graphicid.nl/$1](http://www.graphicid.nl/$1) [R=301,L]

BUT on my own site I get the following error;

[Wed Jan 27 17:25:23 2016] [alert] [client 66.249.93.25] /var/www/vhosts/50/208707/webspace/httpdocs/graphicid.nl/.htaccess: Invalid command ‘{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1348\cocoasubrtf170’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Realy don’t know were to look. my webhosting commpany can’t help they say?

Can it be something in my Freeway files?

Thx

Erik

I’d recommend starting by trying some different methods of achieving the same result. Give this script a shot, it uses slightly different logic: [Redirecting non-www to www with .htaccess | dense13.com](http://dense13.com/blog/2008/02/27/redirecting-non-www-to-www-with-htaccess/)

Hi Caleb,

Already try that,

With the script I use is nothing wrong because it works on other websites ok. I thought it maybe has something to do with Freeway?

More likely the server - is it an Apache server or Windoze/something else?

Try this instead

```auto
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^graphicid\.nl [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.graphicid.nl/$1 [R=301,L]

```

But I’m not really sure why you aren’t using the generic version that doesn’t specify the actual domain.

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

```

But dont copy/paste from here - type it.

And when you say your current code works on other sites - are those sites on the same server?

Hi Dave,  
I typed your code in a new text editor page and saved it to my server as .htaccess

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} ^graphicid.nl [NC]  
RewriteRule (.\*)$ [http://www.graphicid.nl/$1](http://www.graphicid.nl/$1) [R=301,L]

But again a new error (blanc screen internal server errror;

On the same server at cms.graphicid.nl it is ALSO NOT working but I don’t get an error here?

The error is meaningless unless I can see the actual .htacess file.

What text editor are you using?

Do you mean ‘TextEdit’? If so is it in plain text mode? - It should be.

Far better with TextWrangler - Free! [Bare Bones Software | TextWrangler is now BBEdit -- and still free! It's time to switch.](http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/)
