2 domains pointing to the same directory - possible?

I've got 2 domains with the same name, but with endings eu and com -i'm trying to setup these 2 domains to point to the same directory,but when I'm adding second domain, the cpanel says " Error from domain wrapper: Domain already exists, it was not added.:". Can I add those domains to act as 1 server with 2 diffrent domains??

An addon domain allows you to reach a subdomain or subdirectory when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser.

A parked domain allows you to reach your domain when entering the name of the parked domain into a browser.

For example, if domain2.com is parked on domain.com, going to http://www.domain2.com in a browser will bring up domain.com.

I'm not allowed to park more domain then one (my primary domain).

I simply want to my domain something.eu point into something subdirectory, and also domain something.com point to something subdirectory - the same website under 2 diffrent domains. is it possible in my shared plan?

It doesn't appear to be possible directly within CPanel (Yet another limitation). You might be able to do this from your registrar though.

Support via sales should be able to give you that ability once paid for.

Actually, snide is right. If you contact support they should be able to manually insert the virtualhost settings.
