Redirect based on a domain

[ironhide1975]

I have a website being hosted on a apache server and I have one web domain that when it hits the server I want it to direct the user to a subfolder. I know I need to modify teh httaccess file. Can someone point me to an example of this?

Hi

[tt]Redirect[/tt], [tt]RedirectMatch[/tt], [tt]RewriteRule[/tt] ? Each has examples.

So how would I write a redirect in the file just?

How do I say if user comes from

http://www.thisdomain.com

go to folder /gt/index.php?

Redirect /service [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.theotherwebsite.com/service[/URL]

How do I say if user [red]comes from[/red]

http://www.thisdomain.com

go to folder /gt/index.php?

Wait a moment. What do you mean "comes from" ?

In other words, if a user hits the server typing in

http://www.myotherdomain.com

i want them to go to folds /gt on my server.

Anything else, go to the main directory.

Hi

Sorry, your description is not consistent. For now try this :

RedirectMatch /$ /gt/

ok let's try this for explanation

1) Open web browser
2) User types in

http://www.site1.com

3) goes to top directory

4) Open web browser
5) user tpes in

http://www.site2.com

6) goes to /gt directory

make sense

Hi

Ok. One more question would be if site1.com and site2.com are pointing to the same content or they are distinct virtual hosts. The second situation is the normal one and you do not need anything more for that.

site1 and site2 are hosting on he same server, same account, both domains are pointing to the same location. I just want the unix to determine if the user is accessing the site2 domain, they go to a specific directory.

basically trying to host two domains under one hosting solutions

Hi

Then you must do URL rewriting :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site2\.com$
RewriteRule ^/$ /gt [R]

Okay I did exactly that, I put that in my httaccess file on my server, but when you type in site2.com it goes to the site1.com site. Is there anything else I need to change.
