.htaccess help

Random

I have www.one.com. I'd currently have www.two.com parked on top of this.

My problem is that I currently have

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.one.com/forum/siteindex.php

in my .htaccess so everytime someone goes to www.two.com they're sent to one.com/forum instead of two.com/forum

Can anyone tell me what I need to pop in?


Thanks

louie

create an index.php file into the root of your domain and ad:
[php]
header("Location: http://www.two.com/forum");
exit();
[/php]
and ad a # key in front of the rule you have in the .htaccess file.

This is a completely different thing than I wanted to do - but thanks anyway.

Maybe I explained it poorly. .. explanations aren't my strong point

www.one.com/whatever directs a person to www.one.com/forum/whatever.php

I would like www.two.com/whatever to direct a person to www.two.com/forum/whatever.php

Both one.com and two.com are parked on the same hosting and should behave in the same way - with one.com staying in the address bar if you access via one.com and two.com staying in the address bar if you access via two.com

There we go, I think I've confused myself now


Any ideas?

Now that is better put. try this:

Redirect 301 /whatever http://www.two.com/forum/whatever.php

BAH! GRR! I can't explain it properly and I'm gonna put my fist through the monitor!

If I put this in

Redirect 301 /whatever http://www.two.com/forum/whatever.php

then it will work fine if they goto http://two.com/whatever.

But what if they goto http://one.com/whatever? It will redirect them to http://two.com/forum/whatever.php - I'd like them to be redirected to one.com/forum/whatever.php

Any better?

you'll be better off looking into adding a 301 redirect to the index.php into the folder that you want to redirect, as it seems you are using domain alias .
[php]
if( stristr($_SERVER,'/whatever') ){
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: ' .$_SERVER.'forum/whatever.php');
exit();
}
[/php]

No you made perfect sense the first time, louie was jsut leading you astray. What you need to do is to sort out your virtual hosting directives.
