Forward specific domain to directory?

  • 772

If I have 2 domains, altoonadesign.com and programming-perils.com that are both pointed to the same server.

How can I make programming-perils site root the blog folder on the real site root. and disallow access to the blog folder from altoonadesign.com using .htaccess?

.htaccess domain

    I'm going to make a leap and assume you're using Apache. You'll want to set up separate VirtualHost blocks for each site (or different site files each containing a virtualhost block, however you're comfortable), and set them to have different DocumentRoots.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www
    ServerName altoonadesign.com
    ServerAlias www.altoonadesign.com
    ...
    <Directory /var/www>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/blog>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/blog
    ServerName programming-perils.com
    ServerAlias www.programming-perils.com
    ...
    <Directory /var/www/blog>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    A better option (so you don't need the /blog in place) may be to move the blog files outside of the tree that contains the other site.
