Domain and directory structuring problem

[larsr]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble managing my directory structure in contrast to my domain- and subdomain structure.

I have one primary domain from BH and 13 other (addon/parked) domains reserved from another registrar. This makes for 14 domains linked in my cPanel, twelve of which need to show the same content as my primary domain and two which I need to have them share their own document root. In addition I need subdomains for both addons so that I can access both, say, staging and production versions through these subdomains. They would also live in their own unique (but shared) document root as well. Put another way, what I want is this:

(www.)domain-X.com -> /public_html/PRODUCTION/domain-XY
(www.)domain-Y.com -> /public_html/PRODUCTION/domain-XY
staging.domain-X.com -> /public_html/STAGING/domain-XY
staging.domain-Y.com -> /public_html/STAGING/domain-XY

Problem is - if I leave these domains parked, I can create subdomains for the uses I want, but if I browse for eg www.domain-X.com, I end up with the content being drawn from my primary domain (call it primary.com for example) which is not at all what I want.

If, in parking, I create a .htaccess file with the following terms:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain-x\.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ PRODUCTION/domain-xy/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain-y\.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ PRODUCTION/domain-xy/index.php [L]

I get the BH template response of "There is no website configured at this address."

If I assign them as addon domains, I can't create the document root in the place I want, as I am forced to give the "/public_html/website" type of path, no subfolders. This, again, is not something I want.
This was I can create the subdomain I want through the cPanel subdomain manager, but when assigning the addon domain, I am required to give the addon domain as the subdomain to my primary domain (ie. domain-x.primary.com) which yet again is not what I want.

I can't get any htaccess code working so I could bypass and override the "/public_html/website" path into "/public_html/PRODUCTION/domain-xy", as if I enter the following code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain-x\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/PRODUCTION/domain-xy
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ PRODUCTION/domain-xy/$1 [L]

I just get a 500 internal server error... I've tried plowing through the threads here but haven't found a solution

Parking a domain points it at public_html

If you want a domain to use a different folder then set it up as an add-on domain and specify the folder it is to point to during the setup.

The only domain you need to redirect to a folder using .htaccess is the main one.

Perhaps you didn't read my post entirely - this is what my problem is about. I can't specify the folder path I want, but in stead am forced to give a "/public_html/folder" path in stead of a subfolder eg. "/public_html/here_goes/folder" type of path.
