    I have two domains on the same server. primary_domain.com and secondary_domain.com.

    I want
    http://primary_domain.com => {root}/primary_folder/primary.html
    http://secondary_domain.com => {root}/secondary_folder/secondary.html

    Is it possible to use the same .htaccess to handle both domains?
    I can do it for one domain: primary_domain.com with RewriteCond and RewriteRule, but not for the second domain: secondary_domain.com. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    RewriteCond with HTTP_HOST should work fine.

    place the htaccess file in {root} so that you don't forget where it's at, then create symlinks pointing to that htaccess file from primary_folder and secondary_folder.

    Generally you just place a .htaccess in the root directory for each of the domains. So you would have a seperate .htaccess file. for each

    srisen2 is right, you need to copy the .htaccess file to both directories and both domains are mapped to different directories. I think symlink will not work for .htaccess.
