has anyone been about to do this other than the obvious less than ideal solution of: http://www.amemberinstall.com/site1 http://www.amemberinstall.com/site2 I am trying to keep the site names intact and run the sites as www.girlnamesone.com and www.girlnametwo.com Alex has said that it is possible but that I can use only the .htpasswd protection method to protect folders on other domains. other than the popup box while i might be able to work around are there any other security or other issues anyone can think of with using .htpasswd? below is the email I sent to alex explaining what I was trying to do - I'll just paste it rather than rewrite it all: > I'm trying to set up a second site but I would like the accounting and controls to be in one place and do one affiliate program and marketing for both. > > the other site is www.girltwo.com and I was wondering if I moved amember a neutral domain on my server as a billing provider like www.somebillingserver.com if amember could control the two sites from there since it's all on the same server and the files are accessible between the sites with the path > > /home/<user>/domains/girlone.com/public_html/ > > or /home/<user>/domains/<domain>/public_html/ or whatever the domain name is... > > i know i could just make them both > www.somebillingsever.com/girlone/ > and > www.somebillingservercom/girltwo/ > > but that is more difficult for the marketing and promotion. > > if we can not connect the first way is there a way to rename or mask the URL so it handles it as if they are girlone.com and girltwo.com without breaking the other scripts like coppermine and SMF forum? thanks!
