well you cannot use both urls. you can use one that it redirects one url to another, but it keeps that url.

--------------------

Also, if you do have two domain names like that, it is horriable for SEO due to duplicated content.

--------------------

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?yourdomain1\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yourdomain2\.com/forum/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

thats still linking to the same domain name. not allowing two.

Opps, edited.

That's about as close as you can get. Unless both domains point to the same host.

Sure
it is my first domain that i use for my forum
domain 1.c o m
so my blog address is
domain 1. c o m/forum/blog.
i buy another domain that i want use it for my blog whth above address.
i redirect secund domain to this address domain 1. c o m/forum/blog.
now when i type secound domain.c o m in address bar my browser go to domain 1. c o m/forum/blog.
and change addreess bar from secund domain.c o m to domain 1. c o m/forum/blog...........i dont want this
i want dont chang in address bar when redirect

I will give you an example of what I do on my website because I think that is what you want to do.

I have a forum in the webroot and a photopost directory.

/webroot/

/webroot/photopost

www . domain1 . com -> /webroot/

www . domain2 . com -> /webroot/photopost

Both of my domain names point to the same IP address on the same webserver via DNS.

The webserver uses linux and apache and let's me use a .htaccess file in the webroot to perform redirects.

The contents of my .htaccess file are as follows:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain2\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) photopost/$1

When a user types www . domain2 . com they are directed to the content in the /webroot/photopost directory but the URL bar in the web browser only shows www . domain2 . com

Does that help?
