parking script needed

paullas · 05-04-2005, 06:40:42 PM

i am after a parking script that is url dependant.

example:

i have domain.co.uk as the main sites and
domain1.co.uk
domain2.co.uk
domain3.co.uk parkked at domain.co.uk

what i want is a script on domain.co.uk so when someone types in domain1.co.uk the script at domain.co.uk will look at the url and display the page for domain1.co.uk and so on....

anyone any ideas on where i can find sucha script

i have a linux server and hosting is all sorted.

What language? If it's perl I can knock you up a script.

hi

i dont mind but i will have 500+ domains parked at one domain name(site) so the script will need to cope with directing each domain to the appropriate page

PHP preffered but i will look at other languages.

Well the way I would do it is- what ever domain is typed in it will go to your main domain where a script will look up a database file and search for a match of the referer url and if found will redirect to a specified page, i.e.

domain1.co.uk|loans.html
domain2.co.uk|cars.cgi
domain3.co.uk|house.php

etc

probably about 10 lines of code and a .db file with an entry for each domain that you own.

I've never tried php but if you prefer php then the script above should be easily found.

If you can use perl then hopefully this will do what you want:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use strict;

my $url = $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};
my $main_page = "index.cgi";

open (DOMAINS_DB, "< domains.db");
my @JUMP = <DOMAINS_DB>;

# Loop through database file
foreach my $row (@JUMP) {
chomp($row);
my ($domain, $page) = split(/\|/, $row);

if ($domain eq $url) {
# If found jump to new landing page
print "Location: $page\n\n";
}
}

close (DOMAINS_DB);

exit(0);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example of domains.db file

www.domain1.co.uk|loans.html
www.domain2.com|people.cgi
www.domain3.co.uk|money.php
etc
etc

For efficiency you might want to look into using .htaccess

In which you could obtain the refering domain using:
%{HTTP_referer}
If you have a separate .html file for each domain you could do something like:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http:[^.]+.([^.]+).co.uk/ 
RewriteRule /* http://www.domain.com/$1.html

Or depending on what you're doing something like:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http:[^.]+.([^.]+).co.uk/ 
RewriteRule /* http://www.domain.com/parked.php?domain=$1

I've not tested the above but I know the idea works, the apache docs on this are:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

very interesting replies guys, if anyone has a php script that can look at individual index.php files depending on what url is coming to the domain i would appreciate it. I also willing to pay if someone can comeup with one that monitors stats aswell

thanks in advance.

Which is more SEO friendly? .htaccess or a script?

paullas · 06-04-2005, 10:26:02 PM

not sure admin to be honest, can anyone give advice on this.

rob · 06-04-2005, 10:46:44 PM

Both can be equally good - it depends how they are setup.
