    customer issue Multiple Parked Domains pointing to one store.

    Forgive me for posting another question like this, but id like to explain my exact problem.

    Now I have 1 Zencart store and 3 domains pointing to the same virtual server (.com .co.uk and .tk)
    I would simply like to make zencart keep the original url, that the user came in from when they click on a product link, instead of it redirecting to the .co.uk.
    this is only because I'm slightly anal and just feel that it looks better that way.

    I've tried setting:

    define('HTTP_SERVER', '/');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', '/');
    and to the full directory on the server: e.g. /home/site/public_html.

    All this does is break the template and and product links.

    I'm running Zencart 1.5.0 on a standard Virtualmin GPL webserver.

    Please Advise.
    Regards,
    Michael Jones

    Ok I'm a bit confused as to what you really want.

    I'm going to just confirm here:

    a. You have yoursite.net - and then you have three domains, yoursite.com, yoursite.co.uk, and yoursite.tk

    This is where I'm confused, but I think I may understand:

    b. If a customer visits your site through one of the forwarding domains, you want it to show the forwarding domain in the address bar? For instance, if the user comes in through yoursite.co.uk - then in the user's browser address bar, it must show yoursite.co.uk - and not the actual domain, correct?

    If this is the case, I think what you're looking for is called domain cloaking, or domain masking.

    This is not a Zen-Cart issue though.

    Yes that's the exact issue. Id assume Domain Cloaking is a feature I can install on my webserver.
    My best guess is that I need to search through the webserver documentation.
    I'm still rather a novice at all this :/
    Thank you for the Prompt answer, You've been very helpful.

    Hi Michael,

    yep, but domain cloaking may already be a feature of your web server, you should contact your host for support - they should be able to guide you - I believe you will need to add some scripting somewhere on your host directory or host control panel, such as cpanel if this is what you're using currently.

    I'm using Virtualmin GPL on a custom built webserver, so I'm technically the host.
    I'm doing a spot of research now and if I'm successful, I'll see if I can post a small guide to help others with this issue.
