Cpanel Parked Domains Problem Redirects Cpanel Error

This is a cpanel question posted by SludgeMeister on 01 October 2009

We have domain.com as the primary domain for the site in question.

We migrated from DirectAdmin to Cpanel a few months ago. DirectAdmin allowed “Domain Pointers” (aka Redirects) to be pointed at the domain.com. We own domain.org/.net/.co.uk which all were simply pointed at domain.com so when someone visited www.domain.co.uk it redirected to www.domain.com

When we started up with Cpanel we used the “Park Domain” option which unfortunately has simply mirrored the site. e.g.

If someone visits www.domain.co.uk it remains as domain.co.uk/page.html rather than redirect to www.domain.com/page.html

As a result, Google et al have picked up both domains/sites and we are getting penalised for duplicate content.

I am assuming the best way to tackle this is to generate rules within htaccess to solve it.
