WordPress .htaccess causing redirect loop on root only without 'www.'

    I installed a WordPress app on an OpenShift machine and added aliases (on OpenShift) and CNAMES to it (on CloudFlare).

    I started getting a redirect loop error only when I was going to the website without www. And only on root. Going to wp-admin, for example, with or without the www. works well.

    Then I commented my .htaccess and put a message on index.php. The message is shown, both with and without www. wp-admin still works.

    I got the default .htaccess

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Do you know what could be wrong with my settings?

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.yourdomainname$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomainname/$1 [L,R=301]

    Hey David, is this meant to make every request without ‘www.’ appends ‘www.’ to the beginning of the URL?

    The problem has a new behavior:
    When I change the Website address (URL) in the settings page to http://mywebsite.com, the problem changes to the address WITH www. So the problem has something to do with this variable. It won’t give me an error depending on what is written there
