Cpanel Parked Domains Problem / Htaccess Rules
Hi all,
We recently migrated to WHM/Cpanel from Directadmin.
We have domain.com as the primary domain for the site the site in question.
With DirectAdmin it allowed "Domain Pointers" (aka Redirects) to be pointed at the domain.com. We own domain.org/.net/.co.uk which all were simply pointed at domain.com so when someone visited www.domain.co.uk it redirected to www.domain.com
When we started up with Cpanel we used the "Park Domain" option which unfortunately has simply mirrored the site. e.g.
If someone visits www.domain.co.uk it remains as domain.co.uk/page.html rather than redirect to www.domain.com/page.html
As a result, Google et al have picked up both domains/sites and we are getting penalised for duplicate content.
I am assuming the best way to tackle this is to generate rules within htaccess to solve it.
I have tried several combinations of htaccess rules to permenantly redirect any visitors who come to the site from www.domain.co.uk so it simply redirects them to www.domain.com but I haven't been able to get any to work. Some I've tried:
Code:RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.co.uk$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.domain\.com$1" [R=301,L]
Code:redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com
Code:Redirect 301 http://www.domain.co.uk http://www.domain.com
What I need to do of course is preserve the entries within the search engines. So for example any entries that are present for www.domain.co.uk/about-us.html need to be redirected to www.domain.com/about-us.html
If anyone could help that would be great.
ThanksIt can only be attributable to human error.
