Trying virtual host in .htaccess

.htaccess virtualhost redirect domain another-domain subfolder

[nacho84]

I've a problem
I'm using this to redirect a URL parked in the same host, but its necessary to enter de url like this:

[another-domain.com...]

instead of

[another-domain.com...]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.another-domain\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^another-domain\.com
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /another-domain/$1

It'd be goul to say that the content it's under
[domain.com...]
for example

anyone could help...

thanks!

PD: No virtualhosting! I cannot touch the httpd.conf :)

Nacho,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!

The problem is in your Rule - the leading slash on the pattern is not required in .htaccess.

RewriteRule [b]^([/b].*) /another-domain/$1

thanks, but it gives a 500 error.
I've already tried...

Well, then there is something causing this not to work as expected, either in your .htaccess file, or in the httpd.conf server config file.

Do you have a RewriteBase directive in your .htaccess file?

Also, your notation, "/another-domain/$1" is confusing. This should be a canonical URL if it is indeed a different domain, and you should choose a 301 or 302 redirect:

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This is an extremely simple rewrite, so something else is causing problems.

Thanks but gives error again.
Not with the [R,L] but I was trying to do it "silently", in other words without changingde URl bar of the navigator.

So the ^(.*)$ gives error if I don't use [R,L]. if anyone could help...

I'm new in the forum, seeing little I can say a good work is done here.

Sorry my english, plz.
