I have two domains www.domain1.com and www.domain2.com, both pointing to the same host. What I want to do is redirect www.domain2.com to www.domain1.com/domain2.
I got this code for a .htaccess from the hosting provider but is giving me a error “500 Internal Server Error” when I install it. What is the problem?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond% {HTTP_HOST} ^ [www.] domain1.com $ [NC]
RewriteCond% {REQUEST_URI}! ^ / domain2 / .*
^(.*) RewriteRule / index / $ 1 [L]
What I want to do is redirect www.domain2.com to www.domain1.com/domain2.
Then you don’t want to do it via htaccess. You need to use the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin.
Map any blog/site on a WordPressMU or WordPress 3.X network to an external domain.
