Read file in another domain folder

[lapsrj]

Hi,

I don't have much experience in servers and I'm trying to do something but I don't know how to do it and do it in a safe way. What I want is:

I have a server with vestacp and configured two domains: domain1.tld and domain2.tld. When someone access domain1.tld I want the server to read the file in domain2.tld/folder. I tried to do it with a .htaccess file but I get a 400 Bad Request error.

The htaccess file that I used was:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*) ../../domain2.tld/public_html/folder/$1

Is the .htaacess right? Maybe I will need to change some folder permissions? If so, will it be safe? Can somebody help me? Thanks.

Hi, lapsrj
you can change DocumentRoot direcrory for domain1.tld in httpd config of your domains
What operating system on your server?

Thanks for your answer, imperio! My server runs Ubuntu.

The problem with changing the DocumentRoot is that I will need to pass a parameter in the url. The parameter is the domain without the tld. The way I thought was: I have the files in domain1.tld/folder. Someone access domain2.tld, the server will read the file in domain1.tld/folder but will add a parameter so the file can know the domain and read the appropriate info.

However I could try put a htaccess in domain1.tld/folder to get the domain and pass as a parameter.

How can I change the DocumentRoot directory? I will test this way.

/home/$user/conf/web/apache2.conf
in apache2.conf find virtualhost with your domain domain1.tld
find this code

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot /home/$user/web/domain1.tld/public_html

add this

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot /home/$user/web/domain2.tld/public_html

$user - name of your user
domain2.tld - your real domain
also you can change folder public_html

Code: Select all

service apache2 restart

Thanks! I will try it.
