.htaccess / domain aliases

getting mod rewrite to work on domain aliases

[StrobeNet]

Hi,
I have the following situation setup on our local server.
have a website called example.co.nz which uses wordpress.
I have got the site working fine on the local address "example.ourserver" using the following htaccess...

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

The problem is I need the site to work on another local address "anothersite.ourserver/example" which is an alias which points to the original example site.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or help as to what I will need to change?

thanks in advance

It's not clear what your setup is, but this sounds more like a DNS issue than a mod_rewrite issue.

Is anothersite.ourserver the same virtual host as example.ourserver, or is it a separate server?

I have made some progress with this problem.
Where I am at now is I need to be able to change the rewriteBase depending on the URL. So for example, if the URL contains the string "sslserver", then the rewriteBase should be /oursite/, if it does not then the rewriteBase should be /.

Do you know if there is any way to do this?

[jdMorgan]

No, there is no way to do that. But you can set up two separate rules, and simply put the "rewritebase" path into the rules themselves.

Could you possibly post a sample code for that? I am a bit new at this.
Thanks for your replies and help as well jdMorgan.
