How do I make it so all traffic is directed for the entire site and all subdirectories from non-www to www.

Here is my .htaccess contents:

RewriteEngine on

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/vivalast
<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

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

Solution :

Try this:

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

Additionally, if you would like to do some further testing, give the htaccess tester tool a try. It allows you to specify a certain URL as well as the rules you would like to include and then shows which rules were tested, which ones met the criteria, and which ones were executed.
