Hello Paris,
if you would like to make all users go to www. instead of your domain only,
you should change some settings in your apache config.
First, modify your vhost file (if possible):
<Directory /path_to/cake/app/webroot>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
Then all you have to do is edit your .htaccess file which should be in
/path_to/cake/app/webroot:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Hope this helps,
Faifas
