    Primary domain in Umbraco

    Hi,

     

    I'm looking for a way to set up a primary domain on a site.

    I have 4 URLs to the same site, but need one of them to be the active one, and the others to point to it:

    • domain.com (primary)
    • www.domain.com
    • domain.us
    • www.domain.us

    It should be so that when you e.g. type www.domain.us in your browser, you go to domain.com through a 301 redirect.

     

    Can anyone help me with this? It doesn't seem to be a built in feature in Umbraco.

    Hi Frej,

    You can do this by using the built in URL re-writing.

    In the UrlRewriting.config file add the following:

        <add name="301ReDirect_For_US_Domain"
                   redirect="Domain"
                   ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
        virtualUrl="http://www.your-domain.us/(.*)"
        destinationUrl="http://www.your-domain.com/$1" />

    The name is just whatever you want to call the rule.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Hi,

    Sorry to say I was wrong about this one! The above creates a 302 re-direct, not sure if there is any way to make it do a 301, anyone?

    Have a look at this forum post where this has just been discussed.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Actually... scratch that!

    I just found the documentation and it is possible ( And I have fixed my re-direct :) )

    You need to add:  redirectMode="Permanent"

    E.g.

        <add name="301ReDirect_For_US_Domain"
                       redirectMode="Permanent"
                   redirect="Domain"
                       ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
            virtualUrl="http://www.your-domain.us/(.*)"
            destinationUrl="http://www.your-domain.com/$1" />

    And you can see this working if you open up firebug and look at the network section and then hit the following URL, as I have just updated my redirect using this.

    http://www.nursingpersonnel.co.uk

    Should 301 re-direct to:

    http://www.nursing-personnel.co.uk

    Cheers,

    Chris
