I have two urls pointing to the same place. e.g. www.firsturl.co.uk and www.secondurl.co.uk both look at the same index.html.

How do get the www.secondurl.co.uk to look somewhere else for its index.html e.g. to www.thirdurl.co.uk or a directory ?

This isn't .htaccess, this is virtualhosting. To have a separate DocumentRoot/DirectoryIndex (I'm assuming you're using Apache since you mention .htaccess) then you'll need to set up both sites in their own virtual hosts.

Okay, how do I do that?

or I can send you a php script that will do it for you if you have no access to the web server config.

stevencotton

You need to know Apache and have access to the server config. Or, if you can
get a copy of the relevant parts of the config and supply the changes you need,
I can just paste it in here.

I don't have access to the server config. It's just two domains hosted by a domain hosting company, both of which point to the same directory on their server. I have ftp access.

You'll probably have to ask them to change your configuration. The PHP method will "work" but it's a horrible solution to a simple problem.

Rudi-Boy

The problem is THEY won't change it unless I pay them a huge wodge of extra cash to use their webforwarding service. Ridiculous when you consider that most domain registration companies do it for next to nothing.

The PHP method worked.

Thank you everyone for all your help, and especially Wurzel for all the offline help.
