So here is what I’m trying to do:

1. Run multiple domains from one instance of EE
2. Rename the index.php file to something unique for each domain

Server/Hosting provider info:

1. Secondary domain runs in a folder “above” the EE directory
2. Primary domain runs in the EE directory

The providered help me by modifiying the .htaccess file to this:
(NOTE:  “key” is the replacement for a specific domain.  It was not changed in the primary EE directory)

----
<Files key>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
DirectoryIndex key
</Files>
Options All

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^moremoredaddy.ambleconnect.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.moremoredaddy.ambleconnect.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://moremoredaddy.ambleconnect.com/key [R=301,L]

-----

Also in the situation where a secondary domain is running “above” the primary directory for EE, do I have to use absolute paths or will relative still work?

Thanks

Stuart

The .htaccess file your host provided you looks a little more complicated than it probably needs to be, but then I’m not expert on .htaccess. Still, I’ve done what you’re trying to do and it works for me. In fact, I helped a fellow EE user with exactly the sort of situation you’re describing here. His EE install was two levels down from the root of his webspace and the secondary blog was one level down in a separate folder. As long as you specify the path properly in the path.php file it should work just fine.
