Newbie here, a bit confused by your instructions on how to use multiple domain names with subdirectories using .htaccess The original thread is HERE. Why did member "x" called these instructions cheap and amateurish? These instructions tell me that I must ask you to add *.mydomain.com to my account, but I got an error, unacceptable characters, using the *, when adding it using the Setup Domains page. Using two domain names, can someone please clarify how to modify these scripts, if the two domain names are actually called: domain1.com and domain2.com If you need to apply this change to only ONE domain, put this code in /.htaccess (root): RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?EXAMPLE.NET$ RewriteRule ^(DIRECTORY\/)?(.*)$ DIRECTORY/$2 [L]
Then, in DIRECTORY/.htaccess (subdomain folder), write the following code: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?EXAMPLE.NET$ RewriteRule ^(DIRECTORY/)?(.*)$ http://www.EXAMPLE.NET/$2 [L,R=301]
Thanks in Advance, East

Set your domain dns to the servers dns ips. Set the secondary domain dns to the ip or to the http folder like http://www.  .  /folder Then contact support and have them set the server to your account and folder.

Bonehead,
After some thought, I think that yours is the correct process; and that the entire rewrite/htaccess idea appears to be an attempt by admin to eliminate the work of adding vhosts; which is understandable.
One of my hosting companies has me on one of those plesk servers with some music download site, who keeps writing me about content, wanting me to stay away from the ram (doesn't want me to use any media files). Well, I don't have any at all. This nonsense just has me weary, and I may just jump ship, which is why I am looking into this.
Looks like freepgs may not want to handle this your way, and so I may have to do it their way. I've emailed admin, but they have not yet replied.
Thanks, East

Update: admin has added *.doctoreast.com to my account, and so it looks like this is now going to work. I've changed hosting info on my 2nd domain name, and am waiting for it to propogate.

If you still need help with htaccess I can try, I have subdomains off of one main domain set up and working on my account, I'm not sure how different regular domains would be to set up (I'm assuming not much).

Resolved: Solution was not to add *.mydomain.com to my account for the second domain name, but to add the second domain name itself, and then to use the two .htaccess scripts to redirect it to a subfolder of my main domain. Both of the scripts, root and subfolder, I put my second domain folder & name info. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xhYk9PEmXA&mode=related&search=PE

just in the root folder, and one in the /wholives folder should be sufficient. If you already have one in both post the contents of those files here. If you don't, post the contents of the one that you do have here. (the mod_rewrite parts anyway)

Hi, Doesn't do it every time, but nearly every time: Gallery is doing the same: http://wholives.com/forumhttp://wholives.com/galleryRoot (doctoreast.com has) RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?wholives.com$ RewriteRule ^(wholives\/)?(.*)$ wholives/$2 [L]
domain2 (/wholives, wholives.com) folder RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?wholives.com$ RewriteRule ^(wholives/)?(.*)$ http://www.wholives.com/$2 [L,R=301]
Thanks in Advance, east

Alright, try this: Change the first (root) file to: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wholives.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.wholives.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wholives/$1 [L] And in the domain2 folder change the htaccess file to: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.wholives.com$ RewriteRule ^(wholives/)?(.*)$ http://www.wholives.com/$2 [L,R=permanent] That's (similar) to how I have mine set up and I don't suffer from the directory after the domain problem that you seem to be having. Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll see if I can find another solution.

Brainiac, Still does the same thing. I deleted cookies and cache, but no help either.
If you guys want the forum header for freepgs, just let me know.

Are you sure? I just visited wholives.com and clicked the forum link and it didn't add anything odd in the path for me...

B, Gallery and Forum is doing this. I'm using IE, not FF. I killed cache/cookies, rebooted, and it;s still adding the sub folder. Does it if I click these links here or enter http://wholives.com/forum http://wholives.com/galleryinto address bar Mike

how interesting...if I end the link with a / or a /index.php then it doesn't change the directory. If I DON'T end it with a /, it DOES change the directory. Do you have multiviews on by chance? If so turn that off and try it again, if not I'll look more into that htaccess file.
