Issue Domain alias problem

[godfather21]

Hello,

I have added a domain alias without 301 redirect and it acts as the 301 is enabled, i had resync the subscription restarted dns but nothing.

 

[IgorG]

What is the output of

mysql> select seoRedirect from domain_aliases where name='alias_name.com';

?

 

[godfather21]

it says

ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected

 

[IgorG]

Before my command above login to Plesk database with

# plesk db

 

[godfather21]

| seoRedirect |
+-------------+
| false |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

 

[IgorG]

What about

# plesk repair web main-domain.com

?

 

[godfather21]

I have done it but still the same, nothing changed

Where do you know from that the alias behaves like a 301 redirect? Did you test this by analyzing the header that a request to the alias returns, e.g.

# wget yourdomain.com

returning

...
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently
...

?

Your 301 is likely not generated by the web server configuration, but by a Wordpress rewrite rule. It is difficult to test, because you are also running a security software that is responding a 403 (forbidden) on test. To verify that the web server is responding with a 301 on the intial connect, you must first turn off the security software (maybe ModSecurity?), then use a command like "wget" to be able to see the headers returned by your request. If at that point you still get a 301 on the inital request to santorini-bakery.com, then you are having an issue with the Plesk web server configuration. It is unlikely that this will be the case. More likely you are seeing a behavior by design of Wordpress. You can see the same behavior when you open the santorinipatisserie.com without the www.-prefix as that will rewrite to the spelling with www.

I have configured your setup on a test machine of ours.

I have tried to first set an alias to a Wordpress website. This returns a 301 redirect in my test system, too. Then I used the same domain name and set it as an alias to a website that is not using rewrite mechanisms. There it did return a 200. Same alias, but different targets.

I have no doubts that the 301 you are reading is a Wordpress redirect. Try this to verify: Move your .htaccess file of your Wordpress installation into htaccess.txt (or another backup name), run the wget on your domain alias again. Does it return a 200 now? Rename your htaccess.txt back to .htaccess. For the time of your test your website will not be accessible, because the missing .htaccess will hinder proper processing of Wordpress pages/URLs.
