Hello Wige,
Just read your post which appeared to me so professional and kind.
As I have similar problem regarding being newbie with .htaccess I would like to have your kind assistance as well.
As I understand to rename domain name for search engines I would need to write and rewrite them in .htacess extension or I need allow or disallow in robots file. Some domains have already been rewritten in .htaccess files but it seems not all.
My old domain or site was
Christian Science Healing Method Restores Physical Mental Health and my new one is
Christian Science Healing Method Restores Physical Mental Health
After clicking old domain I get some either NOT FOUND or the following message:
"Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/healing/public_html/christian/index.htm) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/blitch/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(/home/healing/public_html/christian/index.htm): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/healing/public_html/christian/index.htm) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/blitch/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(/home/healing/public_html/christian/index.htm): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0
Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/healing/public_html/christian/index.htm' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0"
My .htaccess looks as follows:
# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName
Christian Science Healing Method Restores Physical Mental Health
AuthUserFile /home/blitch/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd

#Content type for diverse files

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]*/)*index\.html? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(([^/]*/)*)index\.html?$ http://www.christian-healing-prayer.net/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^christian-healing-prayer\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.christian-healing-prayer.net/$1 [R=301,L]
As I've also changed the names of the articles files I would need to change them all on the Public server as well as they cannot be found.
Any way any tips regarding that matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and willingness to help.
So warmly, Michael.
