Only www. domain works since installing Joomla - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

sorry dumb question; however, couldn't find in 2.5 forum. since installing joomla, www.mysite.com version of website works. when try mysite.com, doesn't work. following '406 not acceptable' error:

"not acceptable - appropriate representation of requested resource / not found on server. - additionally, 404 not found error encountered while trying use errordocument handle request. "

after few hours of troubleshooting on google, looks need update htaccess.txt file. tried doing many things, following seems correct add file:
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.com [nc]
rewriterule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [l,r=301]

after trying , many different variations of this, still cannot mysite.com work. didn't have problem until starting tinkering joomla. appreciated.

thanks,
michael

first of all, htaccess.txt file nothing when have installed joomla. file needs renamed .htaccess (notice dot in front , nothing after). can enable search engine friendly url's site:

http://docs.joomla.org/enabling_search_ ... ef%29_urls

and add code need file (in case forcing www url). try example:

viewtopic.php?p=2717021#p2717404

there other variations of code can use here in forums. use code in above post forces www (or 1 can choose not have in using other provided code) forces url go 1 you've specified in code no matter how many domains have pointing @ same site.
