Upload Media doesn't work with www. enforced

Hi,

I've searched through the forums about this issue to no avail so I'm asking a new question.

I am experiencing issues with the media upload within EasyBlog and noticed that the reason was because I am 301 redirecting traffic from example.com to http://www.example.com using the the following code in the .htaccess file: -

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

It prevents the media manager from even accessing the files so it's not like I could upload the media using an FTP option as a quick fix.

I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction of a workaround for this please?

Thanks very much,

James
