301 redirect IP address to domain

    Google has indexed my clients IP address rather than the domain, so now I'm messing with setting up a 301 redirect in my .htaccess file to redirect the IP address and all subsequent pages to the domain.

    I     currently have something like this in place:


    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^12\.34\.567\.890
    RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    I've used various redirect checker tools and keep getting the message: "... not redirecting to any URL or the redirect is NOT SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY" which leads me to believe the redirect isn't working.

    Am I doing something wrong or should I be trying a different method?

    Thanks!
    Alice

    Try with the following code:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^121\.121\.11\.121
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):

    I think you should use
    Redirect permanent /(.*) hxxp://domain.com/$1
    for that. I am not sure if it is going to work with (.*) and $1 as i have only used it as
    Redirect permanent / hxxp://domain.com/
