I was testing my site on AWS. And it is like mysitetest.elasticbeanstalk.com. But my original site is mysite.com. Now whenever i search for mysite google shows mysitetest.elasticbeanstalk.com links but not my original site. I have done all the verifications on webmaster tool for my site.
Is there any way to make elasticbeanstalk site completely private to me only and it is invisible to google? And if there are more suggestions please give me. All are welcome.
You should set up a robots.txt file for your test site to tell Google/crawlers to redirect the test site to the production site.
Example article: http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/how-to-properly-implement-a-301-redirect/
Your future test sites should have a robots.txt that tells google not to crawl it.

I installed Drupal 7 and developed a basic site for a friend (http://www.misterklean.org.uk)
It was working lovely, then I noticed months later that every single link on the site (including admin links like admin login!) are being redirected to the homepage.
I contacted my hosts who are refusing to help, saying that it's a scripting problem. The htaccess file hasn't changed since I initially uploaded it - and I've tried re-uploading a default htaccess file which I know works on another of my drupal sites (same hosting company)
I've looked at the server error log file and can't see anything since I'd finished developing the site.
I can post the htaccess file here if people think it might help.
you have not enable the clean URL on the server. so you need to disable the Clean URL form Drupal Admin or database.

There has been a question made towards me recently to do the following:
We have a website with Drupal running in IIS.
On that site is an URL Redirect to a website hosted externally, obviously with a name completely irrelevant to the name of our company.
The question now is the following;
They want to change to URL to a subdomain of our website. Example: from "www.external-site.com" to "www.sub.internal.com" (while still showing content of the external website)
They want the current page of that website to be reflected in the URL bar. So it wouldn't say "www.sub.internal.com", but it would say "www.sub.internal.com/solutions/page1.html" (instead of "www.external-site.com/solutions/page1.html")
It's possible that I forgot another 'condition' but have mentioned before this.
So, if someone visits through our URL Redirect to External-website, it needs to show our subdomain instead of their domain in the URL, AND it needs to show the current page when people start browsing while still using our subdomain in the URL.
Now, I checked the external-website, and it seems that most of the links available are relative links (if this would be any useful information).
Currently, the external website is hosted externally, and will remain to be so for next few years. (I believe we bought the company)
I have been asking around and looking up, and the best possible thing seems to use domain forwarding, but even then it still doesn't seem to comply with the entirety that they asked of me.
I am but a 'simple' .NET programmer, held responsible to do support for anything involving the websites, and I can't say I have extended knowledge about infrastructure. (But I can ask people to do this for me)
Is there anything that could solve this?
Thanks so much!
IIS's URL rewite and Application Request Routing (ARR) combo can help you what you want to achive. Here are few links which may guide you to configure ARR. Please note that these links dont exibit exact solution to your problem however you can take clue from it and fabricate your solution accordingly.

It sounds like you'll want to use a full-page iframe: do not redirect but show a page with an "inner page" instead: that inner page is the external web site. That way, users do not see the external site in their URL bar.

You need to configure the equivalent of Apache Virtual Host with Reverse Proxy on IIS.

The server where I developed a wordpress site was indexed by google. The site is now live with the actual domain, but google searches find links to the site at development server adddress. The site is on the same server where developed, making it live was simply pointing the domain to this new site. I need to redirect these links, but am not having an luck.
Also, the developer server address has a tilda, which was indexed as %7E in google. I have tried various version of the following, all to no avail.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cardgym\.dcaccess\.net
RewriteRule ^cardgym.dcaccess.net/~chrs/$ http://chrs.org/$1 [R=301,nc]
RewriteRule ^/%7Echrs/(.*)$ http://chrs.org/$1 [R=301,nc]
going to development server results in an 404 error in wordpress: http://cardgym.dcaccess.net/~chrs/
Thanks
Can you change your internal web server configuration so that the development domain is an alias of the live site? That would be the easiest solution imo.
Otherwise check out the answer by Sigg3.net here RewriteRule for tilde
If I understand you correctly your site is live and you moved it to the new domain.
So it appears you already have the live site up and going at http://chrs.org. So there is nothing you need to do to redirect it as far as Google indexing.
It will take Google time to crawl the new site and index it.
You can help speed up the process by asking Google to index your new site by submitting it here.
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1
.htaccess does not control the way Google indexes the site. If its on the internet it will be indexed unless you prevent it. There are a few options you can do to help make those dev links disappear.
A. Add a robots.txt to the root of the dev site with this code below in it and that will keep Google/search engines that respect robots.txt from indexing it.
# Make changes for all web spiders
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
B. Block the site using htaccess protected directory for the whole site which will stop it from being crawled.
OR
C. Take the dev site down.
It appears you've already moved the dev site to live domain that's why you are getting 404. The links in Google will disappear eventually because they no longer exist. The next time Google tries to crawl your dev site and see's it's not there the links will be removed. The new site will start to show up as Google begins crawling it. There is nothing you can do right now but wait. It can literally take weeks.
If indeed you really are trying to redirect, then you can add an htaccess file on the cardgym.dcaccess.net site using redirect.
Redirect 301 /~chrs http://chrs.org
I've got a bit of a problem with Google's Change of Address function on the Google Webmaster tools. I hope that I got the right part of the Stack Exchange for this.
Basically, for six years I've been using a blogging platform blogsome.com (which hosts domains like http://site-address.blogsome.com), which is basically a hosted wordpress server. I've had no complaints about it, until they recently announced that they would close down on a very, very short notice.
With this, I found it a good opportunity to set up a domain of my own (let's call it http://site-adress.net for now). Setting up the domain and website went well, but when I went to Google Webmaster Tools to tell it about the change of address, this proved to be surprisingly difficult. In particular, when I tried the "Change of Address"-option on the dashboard, I get the message that this option is not available for subdomains.
What method would there be to correctly tell google that my site has changed? I cannot use 301-redirects, because 1) I do not have access to do that on blogsome, and 2) blogsome will be shutting down really soon (read: within a week; the news was on a very short notice, and I spent most of that time actually setting up the website). I've also read somewhere that you should keep your old site alive for 180 days, and again that is no option for me either.
The best option is to use a .htaccess file (plain text file)
And put this inside it and upload it to your site.
Redirect 301 / http://www.yournewdomain.com/
If you cant do that you might be able to upload a new index.php with the following inside it.
<?php
header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: http://www.yournewdomain.com/" );
exit(0)
?>
If you cant do that either, then say what you can actually do on the server?
Do you have any actually access to files? Or can you edit the templates?
You should be able to move it in gwt i'm not 100% sure, I never done it with a subdomain or a blog-hosted site. So I might be wrong here.
Add your new domain with the blog to your gwt account and get it verified.
Then in GWT goto your bloghosted site then to Site Configuration > Change of address
And then select your new domain under the "Tell us the URL of your new domain" part and hit Submit
I use to have a joomla site with SEF urls which are indexed in google like
example
www.mysite.com/index.php/contactme
i now have a static site and i want to 301 redirect my indexed urls to the the new one
example
www.mysite.com/contact-me.php
i have tried
Redirect 301 /index.php/contactme http://www.mysite.com/contact-me.php
but i get a internal server error. im complete novice at htaccess. i dont have the old joomla site any more only the static one
hope someone can help
Thanks
I think your redirect is correct in the .htaccess. Maybe the problem is that Google didn't crawl your site again since you changed to the static site. Check in Google webmaster tools to make sure and make a manual crawl using the tools to determine HOW Google sees your site NOW. If it shows correctly then you'll just have to give the engine some time to recrawl and reindex your site.
Hope this helps
