Rewrite rule help
Hi,

I'm looking for help with a rewrite rule to consolidate my domains and server aliases to one URL.

I have the domains qango.com and qango.co.uk.

My Apache Virtualhost has the servername as www.qango.com,
with serveraliases qango.com www.qango.co.uk qango.co.uk

How do I rewrite requests so that everything goes to www.qango.com?

Cheers,
Shaun

Hi,

This may work:

Quote:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} qango.co.uk
RewriteRule /?(.*) http://www.qango.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hope that helps.

Cheers

IMPORTANT: I've now moved to ultranerds.co.uk, and the .com will no longer work!

Andy,

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't seem to work.

However, after many hours of trawling about the web I found this:

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

It seems to work okay with a few test URLs I tried, but if someone could confirm it, I'd really appreciate it Smile

Cheers,
Shaun

Yeah you are on right track I use exactly this to redirect mu sites for google to avoid duplicate content penalty.

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

Boris,

Thanks.

That's exactly what I wanted the rewrite for, to avoid any google duplicate content penalty.

Cheers,
Shaun
