Prevent .htaccess redirection from affecting addon domains

[nerbonne]

Anyone know how to keep .htaccess redirection from affecting my addon domains.

I have this line in the .htaccess for the main site:

Redirect /index.html http://somesite.com/gallery/main.php

The problem is that all addon domains get redirected as well?

Because all addons are placed in the public_html/addondomain folder (by default), yes, this is going to happen.

How to stop this from happening? Move the addon domain to /home/user/addondomain, not /home/user/public_html/addondomain/ Or, you can just use the redirect in the gallery subdirectory itself.

.htaccess controlls ALL directories under the main directory. This means that if you have something in public_html/.htaccess , it will, rightfully control public_html/directory1 , public_html/directory2 , public_html/directory3 and public_html/ itself.
