Question
Apache2 redirect domain to internal page
I have two domains pointing to a site hosted by apache2 (a.com and b.com for example). The primary domain is a.com and the website can be accessed from this domain.
However, the page a.com/test/ should redirect to b.com (not b.com/test/) to display the content from the server (as it normally would for a.com/test/) and this content should also be displayed if b.com is accessed directly.
I thought that reverse proxies might be the way to go but haven’t had any luck, I was wondering if this is possible to do within my .htaccess file (both domains are pointing to the server).

In this case you actually might want to look into virtual hosts, which can be used for redirecting as well as hosting multiple sites from the same Droplet. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
Thanks, I’m using Wordpress so I can’t use vhosts or htaccess because I have to wait for Wordpress to sort out the permalinks. Do you know any other way to achieve this (possibly through addrewriterule) in Wordpress’ functions.php)?
