If the content is living on the same server as domainA.com (which it
apparently is in this case), then you don't want to proxy. There is no
need to create an additional HTTP request. You just instruct apache to
grab the file directly. So you want something like

RewriteCond  %{HTTP_HOST}   ^domainA.com$
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$  /home/user/public_html/siteA/$1

If this doesn't work, tell us EXACTLY what happens: what do you see in
the browser, error_log, and access_log?

 

 

 

I found part of the problem, but not how to solve it.

 

When configured as such:

 

RewriteCond  %{HTTP_HOST}   ^domainA.net$
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$  /home/user/public_html/siteA/$1 [L]

 

Apache is returning a 500 error.. the error_log shows:

 

"mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary."

 

I also found the httpd.conf on the server, and it doesn't seem to be doing any other mod_rewrite stuff.

 

Why is it going into a recursive loop?

 

thanks.
