My parked domain wants to refback my real domain?

thats it.


If you have any other folders with htaccess files in them (vb doesn't have any...) then you should do the same thing as forums

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.realdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.realdomain.com/some-non-vb-dir-with-specialhtaccess/$1 [L,R=301]

Hi it works but there are some issues.. for the forum i chaned values as demonstrated above.

http://www.parkedomain.co.uk/forum - works
http://parkedomain.co.uk/forum - works

http://www.parkedomain.co.uk/forum/ - dosent work
http://parkedomain.co.uk/forum/ - dosent work

The latter two domains have a forward slash but it dosent work when you place a "/". The first two work fine and redirect to real domain.


As for the root area, i changed that also and that works fine everything is dandy there works both with www. without www and with and without a / it redirects to the main domain. Now this will seem very strange.. once i go into the forum i cannot see the banner.. everything else is showing but the banner does not show but instead has a red coloured "x" in its place.

I go to the main forum using the main address.. www.readomain.com/forum and the banner dosent show.. however when i take the root settings off that you had provided me above, then the banner reappears... the banner is also hosted under the main domain... in the mean time ive taken that off... any solutions? I think it needs tweaking somewhere..?

Ok i think ive got more problems... maybe..

Some users were not able to visit the forum as it showed them a 404 or they were logged out when they visited: http://myrealdomain.com/forum however, i asked them when it started to happen and they told me for a day or so.. as thats when i made some of the changes..

So i wanted to undo the changes i made yesterday, but could not see the htaccess code i had placed, as if they just dissapeared? This means people coming to http://www.myparkedomain.com/forum/ should not be redirected.. however they are redirected when there is no settings in htaccess? They are still sent to http://www.myrealdomain.com/forum/ from my parked domain?

Users were saying they cannot get on the forum or they get logged out if they use http://myrealdomain.com/forum but if they place the "/" after forum http://myrealdomain.com/forum/ it works sometimes... now as the htaccess settings are not there... how are people being still redirected to the parked domain...

Cheers
