Forwarded URL pointing to subdirectory install

    I entered a project well after the client bought domain names and hosting and such. He has hosting through one company (iPower) and bought a domain name through GoDaddy. His hosting is already tied to one domain, and wanted wordpress installed into a subdirectory, which I did. (http://domain.com/wordpress)

    He now has another domain name (http://domain2.com) forwarded to this subinstall http://domain.com/wordpress. This is all stuff he did on his own. I want to know if it’s possible to have wordpress accept this point, and treat the domain as it’s own. (So that wordpress thinks it’s natively at http://domain2.com

    I tried editing the wp-config.php to include

    define('WP_HOME','http://domain2.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://domain2.com');

    But that just gave me content not found issues, and the url still showing as http://domain.com/wordpress

    Is there something else I can do to get wordpress to grab ahold and use the forwarded domain, or do I need to do something at the iPower/GoDaddy level?
