Hi, 

I created a SiteA following this guide.

If I input in the URL field (point 6) www.domain.com = when I go to www.domain.com my site is shown, but when I try to go to domain.com is shown the MainSite instead of the created SiteA

vice vers

If I input in the URL field (point 6) domain.com = when I go to domain.com my site is shown, but when I try to go to www.domain.com is shown the MainSite instead of the created SiteA

May be, it is something related to this issue ...for that I yet opened a ticket on tracker without solution at the moment

Many Thanks for help

Hi Joomleb,

I think there is some confusion here. A domain name is for example www.mydomain.com but mydomain.com is another domain name such as w.mydomain.com or ww.mydomain.com .

You must have for your website only one main domain (www.mydomain.com) and all other must redirect to the main domain such as mydomain.com must redirect to www.mydomain.com. If not you have duplicated content.

Regards.

Hi Seb,

many thanks for explanation. 

Well, when I setup a site filling the form (point 6 of the guide), what is better I input into the URL field ? 

www.domain.com or domain.com ...with or without www ?!?

Hi fredee, 

Many thanks for suggestion. I decided to use domain.com as default and I have altered my .htaccess to redirect www.domain.com to domain.com, tested the redirect and it is working. Below is the changes I made to .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]


I think this can be useful added into the Seblod Manuals...
