    You should add an A record with www
    The redirect you added is just redirecting your site abc.com to http://www.abc.com .. but in the backend, on server, www points nowhere.
    So you should go to your DNS settings and add an “A” record with domain www , type A record and point to the IP address of your server.
    Hope that helps.

    You are getting a 500 internal server error/infinite loop error because your rule RewriteRule . /index.php [L] rewrites all requests (including /index.php ) to /index.php . In order to solve this , You need to exclude the Uri you are rewriting to :

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
#rewrite all to /index.php excluding `/index.php the destination uri
RewriteCond ℅{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
