.htaccess addon domains

[visitor]

This is a big problem now, and I find it strange why customer services cant help with it.

http://www.domain.co.uk is the main domain
http://www.domain.us is an addon domain

Both are working

cpanel makes a folder called "domainus" where all the files for http://www.domain.us are stored

However, I want to stop access to that folder from the main domain

http://www.domain.co.uk/domainus/ will show the pages, Ive tried the cpanel redirect and it dont do anything, no good to change the index.html as all other files would still be available

Did a search for .htaccess to change this, and tried many combanations none work.

Am I missing something here ? cpanel not working, and .htaccess tests none work, when perhaps they should ?

http://www.domain.co.uk/domainus/*.* should all go to http://www.domain.us/*.*

I need a .htaccess lines to fix this?

The redirect tool in cpanel should work for this. Check your existing .htaccess doesn't have any strange commands which may be causing you grief.

I agree about the redirect tool in cPanel. It should be fine for this-- can you give us the settings you're using? Also are you using the cPanel 11 theme? Confirm with support that you are, because it has a better redirect tool.

Hi

Well I just got two emails from support, and for some reason they talking about someting else, on about one of the domains not registerd or something its driving me mad now.

What started off as a google error has become a big problem

OK here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on

Rewritecond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule .php$ /404.php

SetEnv TZ Europe/London

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://maindomain.co.uk/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://maindomain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.maindomain.co.uk/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.maindomain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

ErrorDocument 400 /400.shtml
ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml


rewritecond %{http_host} ^maindomain.co.uk [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.maindomain.co.uk/$1 [r=301,nc]


Now all that is working 100% no problems. So Im trying to add to that a way to redirect the addondomain folder, I cant give an example now has I have tried about 50+ and none work

cPanel Build 11.23.4-STABLE 26138
cPanel Pro 1.0 (RC1)
Theme cPanel X v2.6.0

There are people out there saying "this works >" but it dont

I started with live chat here, they didnt help at all so made a new ticket, and the very first thing they said that domain1.co.uk isnt registerd or something like that.

Dont know where cpanel makes its changes, but its not to the .htaccess file im reading, as there was no update, even when I made it blank?

[visitor]

Ah, just an update on this, I may have missed it. I deleted the .htaccess file then tried again with cpanel. It made a new .htaccess with this

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^domainfolder/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.addondomain\.us" [R=301,L]

It didt work though, ill try it without a / in cpanel

[slapshotw]

Ask Support to bring you to the X3 theme, then try again.

[visitor]

Ok, seams I was wrong, Cpanel is adding its code to the end of mine, but its just not doing anything.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^domainfolder/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.addondomain\.us" [R=301,L]

Dont do a thing

www.maindomain.co.uk/domainfolder/ still shows its contents and dont redirect

domainfolder = addondomain folder name

Ask Support to bring you to the X3 theme, then try again.

Do you think its going to write some other code ?

[slapshotw]

I think it may write better code and give you more options. There's no harm in trying.

Also, try temporarily clearing out your .htaccess (make sure to save the contents!) and only putting in the cPanel code. If it works, something already in there is interfering with it.

Hi

Its been a long day, they updated cpanel, and now I cant find anything so need to spend some time looking at it.

They also gave be some code, but it goes inside the folder of the addon domain not the main domain, and its part working now

RewriteEnginge On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} maindomain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us [R=301,L]

Just needs a little tweek, as its not forwarding to the same "file"

www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain/ ok
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondom...ome/index.html (just goes to the index of the addon domain)

I did delete the .htaccess but cpanel only changes the main domain anyway, so no use there if its the addon domain that needs the edit.

I replies to see if this can be done. The trouble is (If it is trouble) my main domain is number one in Google, and if I start putting the same pages in the .us domain they might just hurt the ranking

I can cope with sub domains ok...

Now I just clecked something in the new cpanel and have a network icon on my PC to ftp.fifi.org so now have to learn even more after this update.

I dont seam to be able to find the bit where I could check any server erros, like 777 problems?

Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting.

Who turns that on ? wasnt there before

[visitor]

? huh and I posted something before that too ?

[slapshotw]

Perhaps there was an image or other "blacklist" word in your post.

[visitor]

Ok..

I asked how I could change the code to foward to the right page

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} maindomain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us [R=301,L]

Thats sending everything to the index page.. almost there

[visitor]

Ok, got it at last

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} maindomain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us/$1 [R=301,L]

[visitor]

Still one problem, leave out a / and there is an error

www.domain.co.uk/addondomainfolder/test/ OK
www.domain.co.uk/addondomainfolder/test not ok

[slapshotw]

Put a redirect line before that one-- redirect non / to /, and then the next line will automatically grab it.

[visitor]

Sorry dont understand what your saying...

They did this now

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)maaindomain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us/ [R=301,L]

and thats worce it sends everything to the index again, and the non www dont work at all.

You would think after all these years they would know, not sure if this can be done in just 2 lines

Who is "they"? If support is working on this then I would say they are going beyond what should be expected. This is a coding issue and I do not expect a hosting company support coding. This is especially true since you stated in the first post that the main domain and the addon domain were both working. You are trying now to use .htaccess to cover up default cPanel behavior when using an addon domain. If you really want the accounts completely separate then purchase another hosting account or get a reseller account and set them up separately.

[slapshotw]

I would try this as the first line of your .htaccess:

Redirect 301 /addondomainfolder/test http://www.domain.co.uk/addondomainfolder/test/

[visitor]

GvilleRick, if you have no helpfull info please dont clog up the thread. No main domain should load a addon domain.

Slapshotw, thanks I will try that code now, but I dont know if can cope with all problems. Thinking its not going to work with just two lines, I added 4 lines, and now its almost fixed

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^maindomain.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondoamin.us/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.maindomain.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us/$1 [r=301,nc]

This is 95%
These redirect 100%
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain/
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain/welcome/
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain/welcome
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondom...ome/index.html

Sadly this one shows the Public_Html path and username path
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain

[visitor]

waiting for my post here to be approved AGAIN

[visitor]

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^maindomain.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us/$1 [r=301,nc]

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.maindomain.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.us/$1 [r=301,nc]

all others work except this

http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain

No / on that one

I get this

http://www.addondomain.us//home/username/public_html/addondomain

[slapshotw]

Did you use my redirect line successfully? Can you put in another one for the final one that doesn't work?

[kompreszor]

Try this...

<IfModule mod_security.c>
# Turn the filtering engine On or Off
SecFilterEngine On
# Rule to redirect sub-directory to add-on Domain
SecFilterSelective REQUEST_URI "/AddOnDirectory$" "redirect:http://addondomain.com"
</IfModule>

Hi

Sorry, been to the beach for 2 days so looking into this again now, but its very hot here

Redirect 301 /addondomainfolder/test http://www.domain.co.uk/addondomainfolder/test/

Not sure what you want me to do there ? where does /test come into ?

Remember, there may be thosands of files, and 50+ folders, so I cant write a rule for each file or folder.

Im testing this out on just one addon domain, and hope to get it to work with my other addon domains. I have many accounts with hostgator, and around 30 domains spread accross them, also some sub domains.

Im looking at "what if" and perhaps some damidge already done in the search engines. The one Im working on has only 2 domains on this account, the main domain is number one in google search, I want it to stay that way

So what if

http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain.us/
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain.us
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain.us/welcome/
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain.us/welcome
http://www.maindomain.co.uk/addondomain.us/welcome/index.html

Its only the second line above thats not working, and I think ive already added the correct code to take take of it in line 3

1,3,4,5 are working, so why line 2 still wont work.

Well that will work for the basic, but it cant handle the /anotherfolder/ like my examples.

Thanks both
