[Donna Marie Vincent]

In your .htaccess file, search for "RewriteEngine" and see if it says "on" or "off" next to it.  If it has a "#" in front of it, delete that.  So, if you see this:

# RewriteEngine on

change it to:

RewriteEngine on

Or if you see:

RewriteEngine off

Change it to 

RewriteEngine on


If you don't find it in the file at all, then just type it in:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^muchospanish\.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.muchospanish.com/$1 [R=permanent,nc,L]

How do I see if I have the rewrite engine on?
