      I redirected my domain using this code in .htaccess :

      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxxx.com
      RewriteRule (.*) http://www.xxxx.com/$1 [R=301,L]
      <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

      RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]/)index.(html?|php)(?[^\ ])?\ HTTP/
      RewriteRule ^(([^/]
      /)*)index.(html?|php)$  http://www.xxxx.com/$1  [R=301,L]</ifmodule>

      A day after I did it,  got an error in GWMT  "Google can't find your site's robots.txt" and my homepage disappeared from the result pages.

      When I try to open Google cache of the homepage I got an error 404.

      I generated new robots.txt, uploaded it , now the error doesnt show but still my homepage is not in the serps. Its been 3 days.  What should I do ?

      Thanks in advance
