Hi all,

I have a domain1 with web hosting and a domain2 without hosting. Domain2 is linked to domain1.
Now I have Joomla 2.5 installed in a subdirectory of domain1. Via .htaccess in the root directory, all requests for http://www.domein2.tld are redirected to http://www.domein1.tld/subdir. So far, so good.
However, all links in Joomla will be displayed with http://www.domein1.tld/subdir/. What I want is that if http://www.domein2.tld is requested, a URL that begins with http://www.domein2.tld also will be displayed in the browser.

In the past it worked fine with a Joomla 1.5 installation and $live_site = 'http://www.domein2.tld' in the configuration.php. Now it is not working anymore. If I use the $live_site then the URLs will start like: http://www.domein1.tld/subdir/www.domein2.tld.
Maybe this is not a good way to manage this.. Does anyone have suggestions how I can solve this or maybe there are different ideas to get this done?

Thanks a lot!

thanks for that.
It is clear that you have the .htaccess file in use, have you checked that the entries in there have also been amended where appropriate for the change of directory? In particular mod_rewrite for SEF functionality.

Also check that any extensions that have their own configuration file that makes reference to the path are also amended.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes indeed, I have the .htaccess file in use but I have changed nothing in the file yet.
I only changed the .htaccess in the root directory to redirect all requests for domain2.tld.

I don’t know enough of the use of mod_rewrite for SEF so I will have to read some articles and learn. I hope I can manage it. :)

Thank you very much for your help!

I do this by parking domain2 on domain1 in my cPanel. You also need to update the nameservers on domain2.

After some searching, I think to have it resolved by the .htaccess file in the root.
The main domain is redirected to a subdirectory and the linked second domain is redirected to a different subdirectory.
The .htaccess of Joomla I have left intact, just changed in configuration.php $live_site = 'http://www.domain2.com'.

Below the .htaccess file (root) ..
No idea if the following mod_rewrite is ok but it works for me..


Code:
 Options +FollowSymLinks

 RewriteEngine On

# Add www to url (change http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com)
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.com$
 RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/$1 [R=301,L]
 
# Add www to url (change http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com)
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain2.com$
 RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://www.domain2.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Add missing trailing slashes
 RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}/subdir1  ^(www\.)?domain1\.com(/subdir1)$  [NC,OR]
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}/subdir2  ^(www\.)?domain2\.com(/subdir2)$ [NC]
 RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%2%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d
 RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Redirect to subdirectories
 RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}/subdir1  ^(www\.)?domain1\.com(/subdir1)$  [NC,OR]
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}/subdir2  ^(www\.)?domain2\.com(/subdir2)$ [NC]
 RewriteRule .* %2%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
