    Hello DP,

    Here is the situation. I own http://www.gregimedtim.com i also own http://www.2faction.com

    Im trying to point 2faction.com to gregimedtim.com/2faction/blog so when you go to 2faction.com you get the hosted files on the gregimedtim server. (making 2faction.com the primary url)

    im running into a few issues. #1 is when i type in gregimedtim.com/2faction/blog everything works perfectly. my google ads and my permalinks on the blog.

    when i go to 2faction.com my google ads show up as public service ones. and my "within the blog links" dont work when i change the url structure for permalinks to say domain.com/2007/03/05/this-is-a-blog-entry.

    i know this has to do with my .htaccess file,..but im stumped.



    When i try to view the source, its loading the forwarded url into a new "frame" this is why i believe things are getting messed up, is this what a url forward should be doing? loading it into a new frame? this is why my google ads and linking is getting fudged..-sigh- do i need a 301? if so guidance please!!!


    basicly i need this:

    2faction.com to show google ad's, and let the permalink structure work as well.

    as an added bonus i need to mask the gregimedtim part in the status bar also but primarily im interested in the first part.

    I would really appreciate any help you can offer. its kept me up all night

    -Tim

    I think you have everything but your script set up properly, since 2faction.com/?p=4 seems to work just fine.

    My guess is to check your settings, and make 2faction.com the default directory for the script.

    something is still not working properly....when you click on any internal site links..like say the post title to see only that post, it does not work.

    also i have a question since its loading the new site in an iframe cause of the url redirect...and you go to view source and its basicly empty...will that effect my SEO? when you do view this frame source only you get the full source..

    im kinda confused... thanks, -tim

    Right this moment, 2faction.com is redirecting to gregimedtim.com/2faction/blog/ but the source gives the links as 2faction.com/2007/03/04/adobe-photoshop-to-release-online-version/, and visiting that link also redirects to gregimedtim.com/2faction/blog/.

    I think we're back to the .htaccess, you seem to be redirecting 2faction.com to gregimedtim.com/2faction/blog/
    when you want to redirect gregimedtim.com/2faction/blog/ to 2faction.com.
