Redirect the non-www URL to the www URL

I have referred all the related questions and tried the answer given, but it's not working for my site.

In my .htaccess file, I have written below code to redirect non-www to www

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

Are there any settings in Joomla that need to be set so it will use the .htaccess file?

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

this works for me all the time

You can put the following into your .htaccess to do this:

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

This is what I use -

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

The differences are minor but should make it work. This works completely outside the scope of Joomla, you shouldn't have to do anything to Joomla for this to work.
