coldfusion htaccess duplicate Google entries
Hey guys/gals,
I use one host (Shared CrystalTech) to serve up multiple separate domains.
Trouble is Google has indexed:
1) http://MAINDOMAIN1.com/test.cfm
AND
2) http://MAINDOMAIN1.com/MAINDOMAIN1/test.cfm
I only want the first url to be indexed... but both urls above return 200 and
dup. content.
My current htaccess implementation is:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.MAINDOMAIN1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://MAINDOMAIN1.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} MAINDOMAIN1.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !MAINDOMAIN1/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ MAINDOMAIN1/$1 [L]
Any ideas on how I can modify my htaccess to allow Link 1 but not allow Link 2.
I was unable to do it in cfapplication as the CGI and arguments.targetPage
look exactly the same for both links 1) and 2).
Any thoughts for solving via htaccess??

No, but you can just block whatever you like in robots.txt. This will
be easier in any case.

Re: coldfusion htaccess duplicate Google entries
Thanks Dave, I went your route.
After stepping away from the problem for half a day, I did think that perhaps
changing the line of:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !MAINDOMAIN1/
to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !notexist/
might get the job done as well... basically shoving every request for that
domain into that subfolder.. but for some reason it didn't like that.
Any other thoughts, the robots.txt will work according to Google's Webmasters
blog... but thought I would still pose the question on properly structuring my
htaccess. Any idea why my change above didn't work.
Thanks for the help\!
