Rewrite to domain based on subdirectory

[FrankD Profile]

Hi,

I'm a noob with ISAPI_Rewrite so please be gentle

www.fristdomain.com is the main domain and has a folder called seconddomain (http://www.fristdomain.com/seconddomain)

I'm looking for a way to do the following:

1. When a visitor goes to www.fristdomain.com/seconddomain redirect him/her to www.seconddomain.com
2. When a visitor goes to www.seconddomain.com, show the contents of www.fristdomain.com/seconddomain but leave the URL of www.seconddomain.com. For example www.fristdomain.com/seconddomain/test/something.html would be www.seconddomain.com/test/something.html in the browser.

Hope someone can help me out here
Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Frank

Hello Frank,

thanks for a clear description of what you need. As you have two tasks, there will be two rules for httpd.conf:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^www\.fristdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^seconddomain(/.*)$ http://www.seconddomain.com$1 [NC,R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^www\.seconddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.fristdomain.com/$1 [NC,P,L]

Regards
Andrew
