Addon Domains?

[Rashy]

For a club at college, I agreed to host a website for them on my account here. I figured that it would be pretty low bandwidth and that I could give them a nice professional image.

Anyways, I bought the domain nauasme.org and want it to point to rashy.org/nauasme (where I am trying to create a wordpress-run site for them, but that is another issue...)

I went to Manage Addon Domains (In cPanel) and added the details:

New Domain Name: nauasme.org
Username/directory/subdomain Name: nauasme
Password: ******

It should redirect requests for nauasme.org to rashy.org/nauasme right? I saw that the server created a directory inside public_html called nauasme (so that is where I have dumped the files). Anyways, it is currently sending traffic for nauasme.org to my main site (rashy.org).

I would think its just because the DNS needs more time to spread around (or whatever it does...) but the domain is pointing at our server so I don't know if it is something I did wrong or if it is the way the server is configured or what. Thanks for any help.

i'm having similar trouble with a domain from a friend pointing to mine. The domain itself is working fine, but any subdomains created with it point to my main site

For "Username/directory/subdomain Name:", use "<cPanel username>/public_html/nauasme".

Any subdomain created under an addon domain will still have its directory created in public_html. So even if your addon domain points to "public_html/nauasme", even if you create a subdomain and name it "something.nauasme.org", the directory will still be "public_html/something" and not "public_html/nauasme/something".

Jacky: is that directed at me or at Desbrina (or both)?

I'll give it a shot anyway.

Just a question: How does the server know that I know nauasme.org? An example: sparepencil.com is also hosted on LLP servers, so what prevents me from putting sparepencil.com as my addon instead of nauasme other than the fact that it has already been claimed, lets say what stops any LLP member from claiming a domain directed to LLP DNS servers? Does Trel verify it or something?

Putting in rashy/public_html/nauasme didn't work. The server tried to create the subdomain rashy/public_html/nauasme.rashy.org, which failed resulting in the domain nauasme.org to not be registered.

EDIT: Anyways, I went back to just putting in nauasme for the username/subdomain field and I noted that accessing nauasme.rashy.org worked just fine (it gives a directory listing), so perhaps I just need to wait for a while to let the DNS "propogate" (don't really know that term, I just picked it up off another website I read). After it "propogates" then maybe nauasme.org will correctly direct to rashy.org/nauasme instead of just rashy.org?

Looks like I got it right, you just have to sit tight and wait. Now i am getting another error.

I also have that error on new files. All my existing projects and forums work fine but when I updated the index.php for the main site, the errors started. The only solution I have found is to copy the contents of the file which is generating the error, delete the file, copy an existing PHP file that works and give it the filename of the file you just deleted and paste the saved contents in it.

Wait... where did the .htaccess file go? /i/vestigate time!

I'll also try out your suggestion, krt, if its not the cause of the .htaccess.

(by the way, I am trying to install wordpress (the latest one))

Edit: or perhaps a .htaccess file isn't created until you play with things that require .htaccess (such as permalinks). I have another wordpress install in my file that works but doesn't have a .htaccess. More testing needed...

Its a permissions error. A mismatch between the "target" and the "file" in the group (GID 1494 vs. GID 65534). How do you SSH into LLP servers? Actually, how do you SSH at all? Moar Google!

EDIT: Looks like SSH is disabled on LLP servers. But I completely forgot about your suggestion krt. It just might work... of course that would be a little tedious when I am standing at 400+ files. Good thing I have a good install of wordpress handy...

Edit2: Nope, that did nothing. Time to pass it onto trel via support ticket?

EDIT3: HOLD THE PHONE!

I am pretty sure it is working now. Take a look for yourself: http://nauasme.org

What I did for edit two was simply upload the entire wordpress*.zip file to the server and then extracted it with the idea that since the server is technically creating the file, everything would be just fine. Nope.

Steps I did since then:

I had rashy.org/themes in order to test and tweak themes before I moved it down to my main directory/install of wordpress.

1. Copied entire themes/ folder into the nauasme/ folder.
2. Moved items from themes/ down one directory. The index.php for the wordpress file now resides in rashy.org/nauasme/index.php (before I moved it down it was at rashy.org/nauasme/themes/index.php).
3. Downloaded wp-config.php (same directory as index.php) and edited the file for the nauasme install instead of the themes install (they used two different databases) and re-uploaded.
4. Went to nauasme.org/wp-admin/install.php and "installed" wordpress like usual.
5. ???
6. Profit

Hope that may be useful to anyone else who is encountering/will encounter this problem. (step 5 and 6 are jokes everything worked fine after step 4. Note: before step 4 I was being redirected to rashy.org whenever I typed in nauasme.org, but this is corrected (as far as I can tell) when I ran the install.php script).

There you go. Thanks for all help and thought provoking suggestions. Now to re-install themes/
