redirect http://mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com

Hi I wanna redirect http://mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com I tried with redirect section in Cpanel but it allows only one entry I have already redirected all traffic to http://mysite.com/wp/

Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question and if that is the case please clarify it for me.
You cannot redirect your website twice. Why would you want to? Therefore you will need to remove the existing redirect before you can create a new redirect.

Hi carl6969 and lankatr, i think what lankatr wants is a .htaccess force www, it is below:

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

--

save the following to your .htaccess file via cPanel file manager. [remember to ckeck the box show hidden . files]

thanks humza I tried your way but still the site points to http://mysite.com/wp

my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mysite\.com\/wp\/" [R=301,L]

Thanks Carl,
Actually my site is running Wordpress so I have to redirect all traffic to my WP folder

The only difference I see is that you want the www part to open your site as well. If that's correct, your domain name already works with www in front of it.
