    Add domain2 to domain1 (/public_html/dir/subdir/...)

    Hey all,

    Been a long time and posting. Anyways, I'm trying to "add" a new domain (domainB) to my main domain (domainA). I want domainB to be located at "/public_html/_users/userB/". However, Andrew stated the following after a TT was sent by me:

    ---
    Sorry, this is not entirely possible with cPanel. What you need to do is create an addon domain, but it cannot go into two directories, it can only be a single directory off of the original public_html directory.
    ---

    ...meaning that what it only works if its "/public_html/_userB/", only 1 sub-directory deep of "/public_html/". Althought, there is a work around (should be) which I'm hoping to get by using mod_rewrite/.htaccess. So, gowing through my other .htaccess codes that I used for subdomain-management (since I have a dedicated IP) for the particular cpanel account, I came up w/ the following:

    Code:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domainB\.com
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !_users/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ _users/userB/$1 [L]
    My questions is, does anyone see anything wrong with this implementation?

    I tried it and utilized it in /public_html/.htaccess; then went to try domainB.com/www.domainB.com... it works so far. No error_logs were created or anything. I just don't want it doing something that I'm not seeing pretty much. So please, if you can try this as well, it'll be great.

    TIA

    quick update. this seems to do the trick

    Code:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domainb\.com [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !_users/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ _users/userB/$1 [QSA,L]
