Redirecting .co.uk to .com

[Karma]

Hi :)

I have a .com and a .co.uk domains pointed at the same folder. The .com is the default but I bought the .co.uk just in case.

I'm currently redirecting the .co.uk to .com using the following htaccess instructions...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com(:[0-9]+)?$
RewriteRule (.*) [mydomain.com...] [R=301,L]

This seems to work fine, but is this the correct way of doing it?

A single RewriteCond could replace the pair:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(mydomain\.com)?$

Note that this shorter version also corrects non-canonical FQDN-format and appended-port-number hostnames like "mydomain.com." or "mydomain.com:80" or "www.mydomain.com.:80" as well...

Not working :/

Not sure if the shopping cart seo module instructions are conflicting?

You rather need your originally-posted RewriteRule following either your original two RewriteConds, or the suggested single RewriteCond...

Thanks - working now :)

[jdMorgan]

Good news!

Now look up the "[E]" flag in the mod_rewrite RewriteRule documentation at apache.org, and see if you can figure out why it appears in many of your rules, but with no declared variable name or value. If you have no intent to define and use a server variable, delete that "[E]" flag from your rewriterules.

"regexp backreferences"?

My knowledge of rewrite rules is functional at best, will read up some more later and maybe start removing them.

Thanks again :)
