Is it possible to maintain two domain with one phpbb?

Postby venkimach » Wed Aug 26, 2009 3:47 am

I have a domain with phpbb-seo installed. I want to make use of another domain share the database and pages. Is it possible to do with some configuration change?

Pages should be indexed with two domain names.
Eg:

example.com/sub1/abcd.html
newsite.com/sub1/adcd.html

both should share the same pages and database and indexed with different domain names. is this possible?

You will end up getting huge SEO penalties like that.

A lot of what we do here is to undo what it is your trying to do which is duplicate content. It is possible and there is a even a mod made for it but the proper SEO way of doing this would be a perm 301 redirect from one domain to the other.

If this is something you REALLY want even tho you shouldn't then just use your second domain as an addon domain at the first site and set its home at / then use the mod I spoke of before to share the cookies and make the domains play nice.
