The CMS Drupal has an option where one can serve multiple domains frome one codebase. I have the following configuration
www.richel.org answered by www.richel.org/index.html
www.baszeeland.org, now answered by www.richel.org/index.html
But I want www.baszeeland.org to be answered, resolved, by www.richel.org/drupal (where there is a directory with the name www.baszeeland.org )
It is suggested that this can be done by just editing the Drupal htaccess but I do not get clear answers on that, maybe I should edit root htaccess as wel.
Fyi I put below the contents of the drupal htaccess and below that the root htaccess. Thanks in advance.

Thank you, but so far no success.
I have pasted the two lines you gave me in the Drupal htaccess, just before </IfModule> and then nothing changed: page not found when I gave in www.baszeeland.org
When I pasted the two lines in root htaccess then my whole site became forbidden. I do not know whether I should have added Rewrite Engine on-type lines as well.
And does the line *DocumentRoot /home/virtual/richel.org/v
So please try again.
Thanks
as you're redirecting virtual hosts, this change have to be done in apache's httpd.conf, followed by a server restart
Don't know how drupal includes "your" htaccess, but it requires a restart, if not already configured that www.baszeeland.org redirects to www.richel.org
www.baszeeland.org is parked on www.richel.org does that change anything?
Allright and what would be the contents of such a .htaccess file?
Now my root .htaccess- contain only this:
----------------
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html index.htm index.php
------------------
Documentroot for Drupal is:
DocumentRoot /home/virtual/richel.org/v
Thanks
I do not understand Rewrite-asterisk. Just paste this in the htaccess I presume:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.baszeeland\.org$
RewriteRule .* http://www.richel.org/drup
Amd re the root: that is what my host told me. I first thought it would be /var/www/html/drupal
while I don't get used to your problem (is there still one?), you seem to have problems writing a .htaccess as suggested. Try following as you .htacsess (excluding the ----------------- lines):
-----------------
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html index.htm index.php
Documentroot for Drupal is:
DocumentRoot /home/virtual/richel.org/v
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.baszeeland\.org$
RewriteRule .* http://www.richel.org/
-----------------
if it does not do what you want, then please post corresponding messages from your error_log *and* access_log. Also post the result of:
ls -la /home/virtual/richel.org/v
Did as you said and got the message below. Also other domains on server are unavailable now. Will try to get error server log. I do not understand what you mean by 'the result of: ls -la /home/virtual/richel.org/v
------------------
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, blackhole@ensim.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.richel.org Port 80
--------------------------
From my access log, the only line about Baszeeland: [20/Sep/2006:16:48:28 -0400] "GET /drupal/sites/www.baszeela
Error log has no references to baszeeland.
Thanks
Well my access log had a ref to baszeeland and it gave error code 500 - 598. I cannot find the meaning of 598 though. Well we are going to call it quits. I am impressed by your qualfications and convinced that if you cant make this work then I do not know who can. I have found another webhost (specialised in Drupal) end it worked right away (no of course not wrt the domain name, we're awaitiong the dns switch for that.
I do not know whether totally misconfigured is an apt description for my current host, but there certainly are a lot of problems there.
So thanks for your comments and take the points.
I'd like to get it working, even without knowing what's going on
But you can hit the accept button as you like ;-)
Back to the problem:
please post the entries from access_log *and* error_log you get when you call following links:
http://www.richel.org/inde
http://www.baszeeland.org/
http://www.richel.org/none
http://www.baszeeland.org/
you should get at least 2 messages in access_log and 2 in error_log
In access log I get 2 refs to index.html and also to noneexistant. These are the lines:
[21/Sep/2006:12:59:13 -0400] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1016 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1)"

lj602334.inktomisearch.com
The error log follows in the next post
These are the 2 lines of nonexistant in the error log
[Thu Sep 21 12:59:55 2006] [error] [client 82.176.201.176] File does not exist: /home/virtual/site407/fst/
[Thu Sep 21 13:00:09 2006] [error] [client 82.176.201.176] File does not exist: /home/virtual/site407/fst/
The two indel.html url's were there so no errors.
I guess you checked the error_log from www.richel.org, then your Rewrite rules in .htaccess do not get used.
Also, the path in th errro_log does not match the path of DocumentRoot you posted here. Is this due to soft links or mount points. Could you please explain.
I have put the following hopefully correct documentRoot in htaccess:
Documentroot for Drupal is:
DocumentRoot /home/virtual/site407/fst/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.baszeeland\.org$
RewriteRule .* http://www.richel.org/
But still no luck: Internal Sever Error, all domains

either you did not follow what they told you to do, or it's time to get rid of that hoster
