In a shop created with PS 1.7.6.1 we have created a resellers "view"; At the moment we have the mail webshop for B2C on www.domainname.com and a view with reseller.domainname.com (for B2B market)

For aspects related to SEO (duplicate product sheets etc ...), I would NOT index the entire alias of the subdomain "reseller.domainname.com"

I can NOT proceed via FTP with robots.txt file as there is no root dedicated to that alias, so it is impossible to add a command dedicated to that Url (that's not a real subdomain)

Is it possible to proceed via the HTACCESS file? Is there any way to prevent URL path indexing reseller.domainname.com

Thank you

Do you mean that both websites are sharing the same document root (common scenario with third-level subdomain multishops ?)

In this case the solution is to edit your .htaccess like this

 RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ robots/%{HTTP_HOST}.txt [L]

This way you can have a different robots.txt for each shop named:

robots/mysite1.com.txt robots/mysubdomain.mysite2.com.txt

Most likely you would like to add a

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

on the robots.txt of the reseller shop.

  • Hello and thanks for the reply. Do you mean that both websites are sharing the same document root (common scenario with third-level subdomain multishops?) = Yes exactly So, entering that command in the .htaccess file happens that: I can create a folder /robots/ inside which I will insert a robots.txt file dedicated to each domain. So in the root document I will have: robots/domainname.com.txt robots/reseller.domainname.com.txt is it right? – martoneg Mar 01 '21 at 14:27
  • yes correct - the {HTTP_HOST} will be replaced by your domain – gennaris Mar 01 '21 at 16:42
