More .htaccess Codes for Additional Domains

Browsing thru PowWeb forum really teaches me a lot. I’ve discovered that there are different htaccess codes for redirecting multiple domain names. Aside from the one I’ve posted long time ago, here are more complex sample codes posted on the forum that will surely work with any PowWeb website:

Sample 1:

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain_name\.?tld [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain_name\.?tld [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/subfolder/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/$1 [L]

Sample 2:

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteCond s%{HTTPS} ^((s)on|s.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^/*(.+/)?([^.]*[^/])$ http%2://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain_name\.?tld [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain_name\.?tld [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/subfolder/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/$1 [L]

Sample 3:

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^([^\.]+[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain_name\.tld$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/$1 [L]

These codes seems to be confusing to me, although it resembles the one that I previously use. Aside from this, PowWeb users can also use the Map to Subdirectory Tool for creating multiple websites on the PowWeb server.

I just added my second domain to my PowWeb account and one thing I discovered is that my second domain is just showing my first web site’s contents. Meaning every domain that I have on my account will redirect to my first domain. Hence, I needed a .htaccess code to assign my second domain to a subfolder on my ‘htdocs’ directory. I searched the PowWeb Forums and found useful information there.

I’ve written a .htaccess code, as advised on the forum, and saved it as ‘.htaccess’ on my home/htdocs/ directory. I needed an FTP program to upload this file because OPS‘ Filemanager does not support such type of filename.

My htaccess resembles the following piece of code:

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} second-domain-name.com RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !secondwebsite/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ secondwebsite/$1 [L]

Codes are case sensitive otherwise the second website will give you an “Internal Server Error” message when the domain is loaded.
