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

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,
