Folder on addondomain redirects to root ...

[trsaso]

I have 4 domains and one host account with my site.
Now if I add other domain to addondomain in my host how to use (Share) the same folder for arcade games ? I dont want doubble my space and for that need to share files (swf,img) .
My first site is in root /public_html and new domain will be here /public_html/new.com/
how to do redirection or some other who will work
/public_html/new.com/arcade/ to get files from /public_html/arcade
I hope understand me.
Thanks,
Saso

Two alternatives - a soft link or mod_rewrite. Soft links don't always work (apache can be configured to disallow them). mod_rewrite may not be supported on your server (ask your host).

If you have shell access, login, then:

cd public_html/new.com
ln -s ../arcade .

If you don't have shell access, the easiest thing would be to ask your web host to do this for you.

For mod_rewrite you'll probably need to move your public_html/arcade from public_html to public_html/new.com/arcade, then create a .htaccess file in public_html with the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} maindomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^arcade(.*)$ new.com/arcade$1 [L]

Now try visiting your main site arcade and add-on arcade.

if you have created your first domain or someone created it for you on whm your document root is always
/home/userid/public_html/

succeeding domains created inside cpanel
will be in /home/userid/public_html/domain.com
/home/userid/public_html/domain2.com
always points back to your base path which is /home/userid/public_html/
