Two Domains Pointed To Share Server

How to point multiple domains to a share server using .htaccess

[TeamSDA]

Hi All,

I've trying to point two domains to a single shared server using .htaccess. Below I have some code I found from another post but I can get it to work correctly.

In the directory I have my .htaccess file with the code that is below. As well as two folders called "siteone" and "sitetwo" with a simple index.html inside both. Everything works if you go to exactly [siteone.com....] If you type siteone.com in the url it pulls up [siteone.com...]

What is going on and how can I fix this? Thank you for your help!

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?siteone.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/siteone/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /siteone/$1 


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?sitetwo.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sitetwo/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sitetwo/$1 



RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.html(\?[^\ ])?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.html$ http://www.siteone.com/$1 [R=301,L]


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.siteone\.com)?$ 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.siteone.com/$1 [R=301,L]



RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.html(\?[^\ ])?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.html$ http://www.sitetwo.com/$1 [R=301,L]


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.sitetwo\.com)?$ 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.sitetwo.com/$1 [R=301,L]

do a search in the archives for "domain2" and "domain1".
This comes up fairly often.

Hi Wilderness,

I've done some searching but all the examples I find are giving the same issue as what I have detailed above.

Could you point me in the right direction? Thank you for you help.

I'm missing something. Possibly that makes two of us.

In the two rules

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.html(\?[^\ ])?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.html$ http://www.siteone.com/$1 [R=301,L]

and

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.html(\?[^\ ])?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.html$ http://www.sitetwo.com/$1 [R=301,L]

how does mod_rewrite know that the first of two identical Rules pertains only to siteone and the second pertains only to sitetwo?

[TeamSDA]

My experience with .htaccess is very limited. The mod_rewrite rule you have pointed out is something we used for a single website and I thought it might work the same for multiples domains.

How would I separate them?

"domain2" +2011 [google.com]

The SEARCH link is located on the second line of the Webmaster World header near the very top of this page, and every other page at Webmaster World.

One more question. What happens if you remove the htaccess file entirely? Do you get taken to the appropriate domain? If not, it may be a DNS issue that needs sorting-out. If each domain actually exists-- that is, it's not a parked name being redirected-- and each one has its own physical directory, then it shouldn't be necessary for htaccess to say anything at all about the domain names.
