Domain alias

Using a single web hosting account to host multiple sites

Domain alias

Postby jeremybass » Thu Jun 05, 2008 10:12 am

Hello,

I'm needing to have a site www.MYSITE.com/Other site/
become www.Other site.com

Othersite.com is the alias of the root www.MYSITE.com as of now hosted on godaddy... not forwarded

there is a rewrite for www.MYSITE.com/index.php?page=Other site
to make it www.MYSITE.com/Other site/
and I'm not wanting to be hit on the google issues of redirects...




any ideas would be great thanks....


Some other forums I questioned in that my give a better idea if not clear on this...

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,22564.0.html


.htaccess file as of now which works for the rewrite for www.MYSITE.com/index.php?page=Other site
to make it www.MYSITE.com/Other site/

Code: Select all

# directories to specifically allow config.php.
<Files "config.php">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

# Sets your 403 error document
# not absolutely essential to have,
# or you may already have error pages defined elsewhere
ErrorDocument 403 /forbidden403.shtml

# No sense advertising what we are running

Well I realize that it'd have to happen after the frist rewrite... so

www.MYSITE.com/Othersite/
becomes
www.Othersite.com

and

www.MYSITE.com/Othersite/itsPages
becomes
www.Othersite.com/itsPages

as
the oragin is
www.MYSITE.com/index.php?page=Othersite
and
www.MYSITE.com/index.php?page=itsPages
which is why the

www.MYSITE.com/Othersite/
becomes
www.Othersite.com

Happens before the
www.MYSITE.com/Othersite/itsPages
becomes
www.Othersite.com/itsPages
as the CMS writes the hierarchy

Any ideas on that? Thank you for the help...

Code: Select all
# START CMSMS
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dwproductions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^huntereducation(/(.*))?$ http://www.huntereducation.com/$2 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?huntereducation\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=HunterEducation/$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dwproductions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]

Which URL are you accessing? Do all of them go to the root?

Try
Code: Select all
# START CMSMS
# Redirect dwproductions.com/huntereducation/* to huntereducation.com/*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dwproductions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^huntereducation(/(.*))?$ http://www.huntereducation.com/$2 [NC,R=301,L]

# Rewrite huntereducation.com/* to /index.php?page=HunterEducation/*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?huntereducation\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=HunterEducation/$1 [QSA,L]

# Rewrite dwproductions.com/* to /index.php?page=*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dwproductions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
# END CMSMS

Also try each part individually to see if they work alone.

HunterEducation.com is alaised to the root, as index.php is located there,

index.php is of dwprocutions.com

so www.HunterEducation.com is = to www.dwprocutions.com/index.php?page=HunterEducation
and
www.dwprocutions.com = www.dwprocutions.com/index.php

but as the cms writes the pages from the index.php

under HunterEducation.com

www.HunterEducation.com/links is = to index.php?page=links
as the cms/.htaccess will auto write the URI with the hierarchy in mind....

so the order would be that

1.)www.dwprocutions.com/index.php?page=HunterEducation
ending up as www.dwprocutions.com/HunterEducation

and then
2.)www.dwprocutions.com/HunterEducation needs to be writen as
HunterEducation.com


so that www.dwprocutions.com/HunterEducation/links
would be
www.HunterEducation.com/links
but
www.dwprocutions.com/links would stay the same as
www.dwprocutions.com/links

Godaddy said that want them both to point at the root, other wise this would end up in a loop casueing a 500 error... hope that make sense... thanks for the help... :)

Try the three pieces of mod_rewrite separately, i need to know which bits work.

Code: Select all
# Redirect dwproductions.com/huntereducation/* to huntereducation.com/*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dwproductions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^huntereducation(/(.*))?$ http://www.huntereducation.com/$2 [NC,R=301,L]

Go to dwprocutions.com/HunterEducation, are you redirected to huntereducation.com?

Code: Select all
# Rewrite huntereducation.com/* to /index.php?page=HunterEducation/*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?huntereducation\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=HunterEducation/$1 [QSA,L]

When you go to huntereducation.com/links does it rewrite to /index.php?pages=HunterEducation/links? (If you replace QSA with R you will see any change in the address bar of your browser.)

Code: Select all
# Rewrite dwproductions.com/* to /index.php?page=*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dwproductions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

When you go to dwproductions.com/links does it rewrite to /index.php?pages=links? (If you replace QSA with R you will see any change in the address bar of your browser.)

As I truns out

one of you middle suggestions
Code: Select all
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} huntereducation\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule .* /HunterEducation



workes if i write this to my config.php file:
$config['root_url'] = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

This set all links to were the URI is writen to... worked like a charm.... there is less server rewriting and less chance of errors.... Thank you for you help... and hopfully this help someone else as well... have a great one... :)
