I found the solution: I put the ".htaccess" file in the "/home/www-data" directory and then I remove the "/$1" in the URL link inside the command... here is the command inside the ".htaccess" file.
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mywebsite.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mywebsite.com [R=301,L] Cheers, Yannick P.
