I just set up my first VPS. I have a primary domain - "mysite.com". I am hosting other websites within the directory of the primary domain. So that they are organized, I have placed them in a folder called "sites".
The problem is that i am able to reach the secondary sites by going to "mysite.com/sites/othersite/index.php as well as by the secondary domain's url.
I know I need to use .htaccess to fix this. so far I have tried the following after some research:
RewriteRule ^/sites/(.*)$ http://www.othersite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This DOES rewrite mysite.com/sites/ back to the root url, but mysite.com/sites/othersite/index.php still produces a copy of othersite.com
I am looking for a rewrite rule or set of rules that will redirect absolutely any request for anything (files, subfolders, etc) in the /sites/ directory to the root directory (mysite.com)
That's not the way to do it. You should set up virtual hosts and set the webroot to separate folders.
Create a virtual host file for each site. And write an include statement for the entire directory in your httpd config.
Example of a virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainname.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/domainname.com
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domainname.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domainname.com-access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domainname.com-error.log
LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>
This will separate your error logs by domain
