After trying several solutions I just can't seem to get this to work.

I owned a .org and had urls like

http://mydomain.org/view/3242343
http://mydomain.org/login
http://mydomain.org/page/5

and I now have the .com and want all of them to be taken right to their .com equivalents:

http://mydomain.com/view/3242343
http://mydomain.com/login
http://mydomain.com/page/5

etc.

The rules I've tried so far seem to take any URL from .org and just send them to the root of mydomain.com.

What htaccess rule do I need?

Thanks,

Assuming it's an .htaccess in the DocumentRoot of the .org site (and not the .com site, which would need a RewriteCond to prevent a redirect loop):

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]

This doesn't work - redirects mydomain.org/view/9 to mydomain.com. htaccess is in the documentRoot of the .org – barfoon Sep 28 '11 at 19:45

@barfoon In fact it does not. The $1 contains the information captured in the match; in this case, everything except the root / due to the context of the .htaccess. You likely have some config still in place somewhere in your Apache configuration from another attempt. Change it to something like RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/spleen/$1 [R=301] to verify that this config isn't the one doing the redirect. Check the <VirtualHost>? And make sure you've reloaded the service if you've made changes elsewhere than .htaccess. – Shane Madden Sep 28 '11 at 19:49
I just tried this and that is the result I got. I have not touched the <VirtualHost> on either domain since obtaining both. I even removed all rules on the .com htaccess to see if there was a conflicting rule. No change. – barfoon Sep 28 '11 at 19:51
@barfoon Umm.. what result is it that you got? With what request URL? – Shane Madden Sep 28 '11 at 19:54
I typed in mydomain.org/view/9 and I got sent to mydomain.com – barfoon Sep 28 '11 at 19:56
