SSTwinrova Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Ok, I've tried about every possible combination here and I have no clue why it's not being cooperative with me. What I'm aiming to do is create a subdomain, and when someone types in/clicks on a link with that subdomain, I want that to stay in the address bar, not show the actual directory that I'm redirecting to. This is what I've tried pointing the subdomain to and the results (when it does something besides just show the redirect URL in the address bar): http://www.site.com/folder http://www.site.com/folder/ http://www.site.com/folder/index.htm http://www.site.com/folder/index.htm/ - 404 Error http://site.com/folder http://site.com/folder/ http://site.com/folder/index.htm http://site.com/folder/index.htm/ - 404 Error So if I've completely confused anyone, here's an example: http://cube.ign.com - If you click on that link, that stays up in the address bar; it doesn't change to www.ign.com/cube/ or whatever directory they might use. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Welcome to the family, SSTwinrova! When you create the subdomain in cPanel you are not redirecting it to a folder are you? If you are that would be the reason it's changiing. All you need to do is create the subdomain "folder" and that's it. You will have a folder.****** subdomain. Do not redirect the subdomain to a folder. If the folder does not exist it will be created for you. If it does, you should be good to go. If you are still having problems, open a help desk ticket (link above) to support and they can check it out for you. Quote
