But wait - there's <i>more!!</i> <br /><br />Ok, I did some more thinking and it looks like all my content (almost 30,000 pages) is getting indexed by Google (at least) <b>two</b> ways.

Hi Boxturt,<br /><br />It's because you are including the file by reference - the clue is in the error <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Failed opening '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/alpha/songs/includes/google_ads.inc' for inclusion<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--> which it not looking for the include in your file space.<br /><br />Try something like <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->RewriteEngine On<br />RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^lyricsplayground.com$ [NC]<br />RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://lyricsplayground.com/$1 [R,L]<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />in your .htaccess - please note, that this does depend on if you have subdomains / other redirects in your .htaccess.<!--content-->

Hi Boxturt,<br /><br />I'm glad it's all sorted now <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Now you have that in your .htaccess it should be fine about everything in the future - apart from if you use subdomains. <br /><br />Basically some scripts do not like to run without the domain name, often because of "includes", as in your case, where it interprets the include to reference an invalid path. There are some alternative workrounds - but they virtually all have problems of some sort or another. Unless anyone else knows of a failsafe system.<!--content-->
