.htaccess + Domain Parking

[wistow]

Hi

Does anyone know what to add into a .htaccess file so that parked domains can be pointed to certain files

e.g. http://www.domain1.com is a domain parked by a client. This domain needs to point to http://www.maindomain/parking/domain1.com

It needs to be a dynamic .htaccess so that it can handle multiple redirects without having to add them to the .htaccess file.

Thanks in advance for any guidance,

Craig

grr... I did know this - its like mod_rewrite or something! sorry

 

[wistow]

Yeah it is mod_rewrite but I need a dynamic solution as I am building a domain parking program similar to sedo/domain sponsor etc and want to handle all parked domains using .htaccess if possible

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^parking/(.*)/ park.php?domain=$1

they point to parking/domain.com

and with parking.php?domain=$1
you can retrieve any additional data from the database.

I already have that.

I need to be able to point http://www.DOMAIN.com to parking/DOMAIN.com just like you can with sedo etc

Thanks anyway

I have been advised that this is not possible by using htaccess 100%, does anyone have any working examples/ideas of how this can be done?

I'm at my wits end, I will offer the domain name jdlt.net to anyone who comes up with an example that works 100% how I want it to.

Do you have access to the main config file or are you trying to make this work with a shared hosting account?

 

[wistow]

It's currently on a shared hosting account, is this a problem?

bind an ip and instead use ip based hosting instead of name based hosting. Then in your code parse out the Host: part of the http headers and act on them accordingly.
