.htaccess rewrite , parked domain on another site to read the proper domain name

Question

I have a parked domain ¨mysite.co.uk¨ on another domain name webspace in a folder and need to rewrite the mysite.co.uk domain name in the browser URL as it currently shows the Other domain name while browsing and i need it to read mysite.co.uk.

When parking the domain the isp automatically added this which works although displays anotherdomain name.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.co.uk$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mysite.co.uk$ RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\://www.otherdomain.eu/myfolder" [R=301,L]

Answer 1

Remove the R=301 from the end, so it's just:

RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\://www.otherdomain.eu/myfolder" [L]

That directive tells Apache to serve an HTTP 301 (Permanently Moved) response, and hence the browser is served the rewritten location. Without it, Apache just silently rewrites the request and serves the content in the rewritten directory with a standard HTTP 200 response.
