Re: silent URL redirect/cloak with mod_rewrite

[Hank <heskin@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

I solved the problem.

 

I have in the .htaccess file in the root directory (../public_html/)

 

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

 

but then in the /siteA subdirectory, I now have another .htaccess file with only:

 

RewriteEngine Off

 

Then everything works perfectly!

 

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.  It is possible to create a "virtual" virtual named host without write access to httpd.conf on a shared hosting environment.
