Frank and the owners of mysite.com please accept my apology for using that
domain as an example. Thank you Frank for the advice. I will report back with
results as soon as I can try it out.CheersMike--(Unsigned mail from my phone)

I have a number of domain names which I want to redirect in order to
have a single search engine site.
mysite.com
mysite.com.au
mysite.au
www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com.au
www.mysite.au
I want mysite.com to be the single site for seo purposes. I want any
of the above to force redirection to mysite.com and not display the
user-entered domain.
Not only have I researched this via the docs I have asked three
different AIs and none of their solutions work as desired despite
seemingly complying with the docs. I have to accept the blame for
the prompts.
Here is my best guess at a proper redirection for all domain names
...
files: mysite.com.conf, www.mysite.com.conf, mysite.com.au.conf,
www.mysite.com.au.conf, mysite.au.conf, www.mysite.au.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com mysite.com.au www.mysite.com.au
mysite.au www.mysite.au
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect permanent / https://mysite.com/
</VirtualHost>
end file mysite.com.au
All have been enabled (a2ensite ...) on Ubuntu 2024.04 LTS server
The main conf file for mysite.com is mysite.com-le-ssl.conf and it
has the *:443 configuration.
Many thanks for any education/clarification in layman terms.
Cheers
MikeYou don't need to use mod_rewrite for this, just use "Redirect
permanent / https://mysite.com/".That being said, those are not your domain
name, and it's rude to use someone else's domain names. Use example.tld if you
must.If you need help, you need to show apachectl -S, the URL you requested,
and what happened, exactly. Also, test with curl.
