Make .htaccess restrict access to folder

[CrazeD]

I hope this is the right section, I wasn't sure.

 

So, my webhost uses standard cPanel. I can host multiple domains there, using addon domains. This creates a folder in my root for that domain. I want to disable access from my core domain from that folder.

 

Example:

url1.com goes to root.

url2.com is an addon, and goes to root/url2

 

Currently, url1.com can access url2.com like so: url1.com/url2

 

Can I disable this somehow with .htaccess? I don't want a authentication, I just want it to maybe redirect or just give 404 error maybe.

 

I asked my webhost if I could restrict access and they said all they could do was to put each domain in a folder in the real root (like before www or public_html folder) and then have the domain point there to each folder respectively. While this would work, it is a pain and I have to rely on them to set it up and make changes.

 

So...can I do what I want with .htaccess? If so, how?

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure how to do it with htaccess, but I have a similar setup on my site where I redirect different domain names that all point to the same computer using mod_rewite.

Any chance of a snippet or link to something to tell me what I need?

[apacheguy]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site1\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site2.com$1 [L,R=301]

 

This code tells mod_rewrite to redirect hits from site1.com to site2.com.  Of course, this assumes mod_rewrite is enabled.
