301 Redirect

[nickburrett]

Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

I'm trying to consolodate all my domains into one domain.

RewriteEngine on

Hi Nick,

Before looking at the rewrite issues a couple of things. Which Apache version do you have running? Is it set to grab the host headers for all those funky disco domains? Is the new .me.uk hosted on the same apache?

I note that there is no DNS resolution for discos.me.uk or www.discos.me.uk (There is no answer section coming up). This may or may not be relevant - depending on if it resolves where you are hosting the site. (It may have a local DNS or HOSTS entry). It could, however, mean that redirects failed. I would resolve the DNS issues before trying to fix anything else.

Compared to:

And just to be sure it's not one of my test DNS servers messing around;

dig @4.2.2.3 discos.me.uk
