The domain DOES resolve without the "www" but for some reason my site doesn't work properly until the address actually changes to have the "www" Check it out at: gotoad.com (you must use Internet Explorer to get the error message). Thanks.

Yes they should be the same. Type in: yahoo.com and the URL changes to www.yahoo.com but if you type in: totalchoicehosting.com the URL doesn't change to www.totalchoicehosting. My site,for some reason, needs to have the URL change to have "www." in front of the domain. I had someone develop it for me and if the "www." isn't added the dynamic menu doesn't work....I must admit I don't understand but that's the way it is for some reason.

Is it done via cpanel? If so, is that the only way? Thanks.

On my new index page is many line similiar to: hmmmmmmmmm

I didn't think I would need to do much. I am not using a forum or a blog on this site. There is a mysql database though.

Would the database configuration file not being changed cause the index page not to load?

Support was able to copy over the website. They replied to me, "I have moved your data as you had requested. Please verify this and make sure that you change the path (/home/new cpanel username......)for your applications." What 'path' are they talking about? Are they referring to changing the intra-site links?

Hello folks, I have multiple domains hosted at TCH and I want COPY one to a different domain hosted by TCH. "Why?" you ask. The current domain is where I with the help of other people are developing the site. Now that I am ready to go "live" with the site I want to move it to it's 'real' domain. Can someone explain how to do this? Should I use cPanel or ftp? There is an associated database which I have no clue how to copy over. The present domain will still be used for further development of the site and as changes are made I will copy the new/edited files to the "live" domain. So in essence I will have 2 site doing about the same thing, except only the "live" one will be available to the public. Thank you.

The code in post #23 works if you add "http://" in front of the url.

Thank you very much David. That's all I'm trying to do...no funny business here.

I guess I haven't explained myself properly. There isn't a second site...I just want a shorter URL to some pages on my site. Regarding URL masking, I didn't know that was prohibited. Thanks.

The cpanel redirect does basically what I need but now we get into my likes...is there a way to have a second URL that redirects but ALSO 'stays' in the browser address? For example I would like to have the existing URL: www.example.com/photos/east_coast/november/124.jpg ALSO be reachable by going to: www.example.com/sunrise AND to have www.example.com/sunrise STAY in the browser's address field. Is this what I've heard referred to as an "alias"? How would this be achieved?

I'm curious to how the cpanel redirect works....it is making some change to the .htaccess file?

I didn't even know that was possible via cpanel. I'll give it a try. Thank you Andy. Any idea what the cpanel redirect option of "Temporary" versus "Permanent" mean? It looks like the redirect can be removed so neither are truly permanent. Is "Temporary" for one-time use? Thanks.

(I'm not sure which forum to post this in, heck I don't even know how to explain what I want to do properly ...so please move accordingly thanks). I want to have a second URL for some pages on my website. Besides the URL that is automatically generated by the file path I want to have a different URL that also takes people to certain pages. For example I would like to have the existing URL: www.example.com/photos/east_coast/november/124.jpg ALSO be reachable by going to: www.example.com/sunrise What I want is to be able to manually create a second URL (for only some pages) that takes people to the same page as the original URL. Anyone know how this could be done? Thank you.

Any idea why yari's script doesn't work in IE? Put this in the head of your HTML code: ><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> // Bookmark script var urlAddress = "www.******"; var pageName = "Yaris Website Domain"; function addToFavorites() { if (window.external) { window.external.AddFavorite(urlAddress,pageName) } else { alert("Sorry, your browser doesn't support this function...\n\Please close this alert and press Control + D to bookmark"); } } </script> And this in the body: ><a href="javascript:addToFavorites()">Bookmark GoToAd</a>

Hello Don. I like your script but it doesn't work with the way I have my dynamic menu set up when someone is using Firefox. Has anyone else tried Yari's script in IE? I couldn't get it to work.

If anyone else tries this, please tell me if me if worked for you in IE...it didn't for me. But it does display the alert when I use Firefox. Thanks.

Hello Yari. thanks for the code. Is the window that opens (when a non-Internet Explorer browser is being used) considered a pop-up? I was just wondering if a person has a pop-up blocker enabled will it prevent the alert from displaying?

What would anyone recommend as the best way to 'remedy' this problem?

Oh, I get it! You looked at the actual file for the code...I thought you were just Viewing Source and I couldn't figure out how you came up with the actual code. Thanks for helping me!

So, do you think it was the purpose of the line: ><!--[if IE]> code <![endif]--> to have IE interpret it differently than other browsers? Also, when I 'Viewsource' for the code that you showed: >[if IE]><style type="text/css" media="screen">body{behavior:url(<?PHP echo $config[baseurl]?>/css/csshover.htc);}</style><![endif]-- it displays for me as follows: ><!--[if IE]><style type="text/css" media="screen">body{behavior:url(http://www.fsboiowa.com/css/csshover.htc);}</style> <![endif]--> How did you 'see' the ><?PHP echo $config[baseurl]?>

Did anyone happen to figure out how to create a link in a page to add the site to your bookmarks (in Firefox and Netscape)? I have seen several scripts that will do it in Internet Explorer only.

Please bear with me on this...but isn't that commented out?

I wrote back to tech support and they said they didn't make any changes but for some reason the IE warning (lower left corner of browser) is gone but the menu still doesn't work without the "www."
