2 Domain for 1 site Oscommerce

[leksa]

Hi,.. i see good forum here to ask
I'm newbie in this domain handling with mod_rewrite. Usually use Cpanel. but we move to other host not support cpanel.
I have a site that running fine. But now we take other domain extension for this site.

Current site : www.domain.co.uk pointing to folder1
new domain : www.domain.com pointing to folder2

So, i have try rewrite with sample from my host support, but not what we expected.

we use this .httaces in folder2 that used by "new domain" :

Code: Select all

Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

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


The url keep showing www.domain.co.uk. We need the www.domain.com overwrite the url. Please if this possible for our Oscommerce with standard URL (not SEO_friendly URL mod, maybe we learn it first.. )

Then another question, if its possible, does it affected to the payment gateway? Security or lost a connection between site and gateway (paypal etc)...

Thanks... Nice forum! found it in Google [/code]

Do you want domain.com/abc to go to domain.co.uk/abc? If you do, you should first ask your host if they can make the domains go to the same directory.

Or you'll need mod_proxy and mod_rewrite. In a .htaccess file in /folder2

Code: Select all

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [P,L]

(It you don't want domain.com/abc to go to domain.co.uk/abc, replace "$1" with "index.php?").
