php - How to set primary domain on a VPS to 404 to remove from Google index? -


i have vps hosting package primary domain:

www.exampleprimary.com

with numerous addon domains.

i don't have website setup exampleprimary.com after going on earlier, learnt showing "index of/" , showing list of addon domains. not want happen added index.html show blank domain instead.

i learnt google had indexed primarydomain , still shows addon domains, want remove index.

i made index.html file:

<html>     <head>         <meta name="robots" content="noindex">     </head>     <body></body> </html> 

i want set exampleprimary.com domain show 404 error ensure google bots remove domain index. can't domain return http 404 response. created .htaccess , added exampleprimary.com root:

errordocument 404 "<h1>page not found</h1>" errordocument 404 http://www.exampleprimary.com/ 

but after running tests on 404 checkers, still returns "200 ok" response.

how can make respond 404?

if want php can remove index.html , add index.php file this

<?php     header("http/1.0 404 not found");     echo "<!doctype html public \"-//ietf//dtd html 2.0//en\">             <html><head>             <title>404 not found</title>             </head><body>             <h1>not found</h1>             <p>the requested url " . $_server['request_uri'] . " not found on server.</p>             <hr>             <address>server @ " . $_server['server_name'] . " </address>             </body></html>";     exit(); ?>  

but going better if kind of configurations in webserver.

it seems using apache, seeing "index of" guess because directory listing enabled, disable option in apache , see default 404. add .htaccess file (or better in vhost definition).
