The .htaccess is hidden file, So in your cpanel click on "reset all interface settings " at the bottom and then open filemanager

select the tickmark "show hidden files"
then you can access the .htaccess file


the code for redirecting without www to with www

RewriteEngine on

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

Check it

"The .htaccess is hidden file, So in your cpanel click on "reset all interface settings " at the bottom and then open filemanager"


But after i open file manger, i dont see a tickmark saying "show hidden files"

When you click on filemanager It shows a small dialogbox in that "show hidden files(dot files)" will be there yo need to select that then click Go

Now it shows the .htaccess file
