Read the original article Hit count: 368

I migrated site from one domain to another.

Also placed permanent redirection on old account.

My stats logs are capturing this:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

/libro_metaboforte_chap5.php/members/members/file_chap6.php

I placed this on robots which wasn't present at time of migration.

Robots.txt Contents

User-agent: * Allow: / Disallow: /members/ Disallow: /includes/

HTACCESS FILE CONTENTS

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteBase   /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store/?$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.
RewriteRule ^.+/?$ index.php [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^curlang=([a-z]*)$
RewriteRule ^.+/?$ index.php? [QSA,L]

Will continue to log incoming bot captures.

My htaccess does rewrite. I just added the robot file. The funny part is that is stepping in double directories...

I don't know if the problem was not having the 'robots.txt' in place or the actual in place htaccess doing rewrites?
