parked domains and htaccess

Post by 12thharmonic »

I have looked through the forums and not found what I'm looking for. If I missed something, please let me know. Otherwise here it goes.

First CMS is working very nicely for me. I have used it for a corporate site. The client is digging it.
Here's what I'd like to do. I have done similar things with wordpress.

I have CMS installed at www.somedomain.com
I would like to have a parked domain
www.somedomain.com.au also work site wide. not just as a redirect.
Example.
www.somedomain.com/index.php?page=interview-success
and
www.somedomain.com.au/index.php?page=interview-success
be the same content on the same install.
In wordpress it was parking the domain and some editing of the htaccess file?

I would think this would be similar?
Thanks in advance

the CMSMS puts a

Code: Select all

base href="somedomain.com"
into the header of each page. This is done from the {metadata} tag. One option is to remove this tag from the title - at least this worked for me.

Good luck

Sounds almost too easy to be true. I will give it a go on my testing server. Thank You

Hello,

Do I have understood well : 2 domains, same content, only one CMSms install ?
My answer : 2 virtualhosts at the webserver level (or one main host and one virual host) using only one (at a time) for admin.

BTW : beware duplicate content (crawlers scoring), you must know why you prefer duplicate content rather than redirections.
