.htaccess and domains

.:Mammoth261:. · 12-30-2007, 10:17 AM

Ok, I've searched and searched all over google for this. I'm not very good with apache and such. Basically I want a set of subsites running off one script. So for example my main domain is example1.com where the main script is running and i want example2.com to point to example1.com?site=example2 where the PHP script im running would grab all the site settings etxc. I would also like to be able to have the same thing for subdomains ie. example3.example1.com would point to example1.com?site=example3. Whilst thats happening i would like to be able to use all my current HTTP GET VARS as normal.

Sorry if this seems a little muddled - i tried to give a brief explanation of how i would like the site to operate but i don't really know much about htaccess only know various little bits. Thanks.

I think I know what you're doing. You can create a simple PHP script within the index of each of those domains.

example2.com would have:

PHP Code:

  header("Location: http://www.example1.com/?site=example2");

in the index.php

example3.example1.com would have:

PHP Code:

  header("Location: http://www.example1.com/?site=example3"); 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=412433

in the index.php

Yea thats the sort of thing I'm trying to achieve but I was trying to minimise files such as that. Which is why I thought it was possible using htaccess and mod_rewrite?

Edit: If anybody has any solutions which do not require access to httpd.conf then please feel free to PM me. However as of now I have a different solution to my problem. Thank you to all who viewed, and to Borghunter for your contribution.
