Redirect .com to .org in .htaccess

Question

I have domain.com and domain.org as aliases pointing to the same vhost. How can I use .htaccess to redirect all domain.com requests to domain.org?

Answer 1

You could use mod_rewrite to do this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.org$
RewriteRule ^ http://example.org%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

This rule redirects every request that’s not addressed to example.org to the very same.

Answer 2

Or you could use Redirect permanent like

Redirect permanent / http://domain.org/

which will force the browser to refresh the domain on client side. (While the rewrite would happen server-side.) So the solution depends on what you want.
