Redirect addon domain

    Hi,

    I run phpld on an addon domain.
    My problem is that when logging in to addon.maindomain.com shows the same result as addon.com & because of a server error a little while back, google had indexed the addon.maindomain.com as well and now I'm afraid that I will be penalized for duplicate content.

    I would like your advice and guide on how to fix this problem.
    I've considered a disallow on the robots.txt file, but I don't know exactly how to write it
    or perhaps a 301 redirect on htaccess file, but when adding this line:
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.addon.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    I get blocked from accessing the domain at all.

    I'd appriciate your experts help.

    It's perfectly OK that addon.domain.com content is same as addon.com

    Place this .htaccess file in public_html folder of addon domain :

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^addon\.domain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addon.com/$1 [R=301,L]
