| I have two domains hosted on the same physical server (call them
www.thisdomain.com and www.otherdomain.com). I do not have access to
the actual server machine, so I can only make changes to settings that
are local to each account.
Here is a simplified excerpt from a .htaccess on www.thisdomain.com:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^((.*)/)?([^\./]*)\.htm(l)?
http://www.otherdomain.com/master.p...123;REQUEST_URI}&Server=%{SERVER_NAME}
[P]
The user requests a .htm page from thisdomain.com, which is served up
dynamically from a php script on otherdomain.com. The RewriteRule is
an error, though, since the [P] (proxy) attribute is not valid on rules
redirecting to the same server. If I remove the [P] flag, it sort of
works, but the user sees the mangled URL and relative hyperlinks are
ruined. If I leave the [P] flag in, I get a 404 error.
This works perfectly as written when hosted on a separate server. For
instance, an Apache server running on my local computer works just as I
expected. So I assume the problem is that the two accounts are hosted
on the same server. Someone suggested that I redirect to a local
filename, but the user account for thisdomain.com has no access
privileges for the file on otherdomain.com.
Any hints?
