I've done a few simple mod rewrites in the past but I'm really scratching my head over this one and I'm not entirely sure it's even possible...

Basically there are 2 domains on the same server

Walter.com goes to:
Walter.com

Nikki.com goes to:
Walter.com/Nik

Walter.com also has a directory:
Walter.com/Walt

I want to go to
Nikki.com/Walt but really be viewing Walter.com/Walt

But ONLY if the user followed a link from Nikki.com
If the user started at Walter.com I want the url to remain as Walter.com

Essentially there are 2 domains that share a directly, but that's all they share.

I know this is possible for when the visitor first enters Nikki.com/Walt but if I have a rewrite conditional on the referrer domain (Nikki) will it stick as they browse around or will it no longer rewrite after they follow the first link?

Mod_rewrite can't rewrite to higher directories (from /Nik/Walt/* to /Walt/*), so you'll probably need mod_proxy too.

This might work

Code: Select all: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^((www\.)?nikki\.com(/.*)?)?$ [NC] RewriteRule ^walt(/(.*))?$ http://www.walter.com/walt/$2 [P,L]

What URL are you going to?

Try

Code: Select all: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?nikki\.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^((www\.)?nikki\.com(/.*)?)?$ [NC] RewriteRule ^walt(/(.*))?$ http://www.walter.com/walt/$2 [P,L]

After trying that and playing with it for a couple of days I couldn't get it to work right... I've changed the layout of the domains.

I also realized that I forgot to mention both of these domains have a "-" character in them :-?

basically nikki and walter both point to the same directory now which is a wiki. If it makes a difference maybe we should refer to them as nikki-site .com and walter-site.com

now I'd like to point to an alternative main page for one of the domains.

so

walter-site.com -> walter-site.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
^the wiki does that automatically
but when nikki-site.com tries to load that page I want to rewrite it to:

nikki-site.com/index.php?title=Nikki-Site
