using .htaccess to redirect domain1.com to domain2.com/domain1/

how can this be done?

[nopf]

Alias /domain1.com /domain1

Doesn't work if placed in the root of domain2.com. That was my first guess. My hosting company says they don't support .htaccess but that this is the way to do. Damn cryptic frustrations they are!

I am on an Apache/DirectAdmin server. DirectAdmin's domain forwarding service doesn't support forwarding to a subfolder.

Help?

[nopf]

hm... that didn't sound right.

they do allow .htaccess but they don't support it in that they won't write the .htaccess for me.

[nopf]

bump!

Ahh, but neither can we... Please see our charter [webmasterworld.com].
I suggest a search of WebmasterWorld for "subdomain subdirectory rewriterule"
Or you can start here: Introduction to mod_rewrite [webmasterworld.com]
