Subdomains And Folders

[zro@redtv]

To my understanding a folder that is a subdirectory of public_html

should automatically be accessable from http://folder.domain.com

 

I have a number of folders that this does not apply to.

I have even tried adding a redirect in the subdomain pannel.

is there some other step i am missing, alteration of .htaccess perhaps?

 

 

thnx

tch-rocks!

Have you added Folder as a subdomain?

It only works if you declare the folder as subdomain otherwise it's just a subfolder.

 

Good luck

To clarify, you should use cPanel to create the subdomain. Do not create the folder yourself first. Let cPanel create the folder as it creates the subdomain.

[zro@redtv]

omg.

Im so dumb. makes so much sense. thanks so much.

 

So just for info..... hwat exactally does this do special?

make the .htaccess file right?

>RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.sub.domain.org$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.org/sub/$1 [R=301,L]

 

and wait....

am i confused or doesnt this do a redirect instead of masking the url?

[TCH-Don]

You do not do any redirecting your self

and you will not see any in .htaccess

in fact if you try to add a redirection in .htacces you may cause problems.

Do not create the folder, just a subdomain in cpanel

and cpanel will create the folder and the redirection.

[zro@redtv]

oh, ok.

I see. thats my bad.

 

I did this.

created the folder with the subdoaimn pannel.

it made a folder.... and made a cgi-bin in sides it.

 

still, tho the subdaomin does not resolve.

I hope it is just do to it not propagating yet?

ill try again later.

 

 

thanks so much.

tch-rocks!

[zro@redtv]

The subdomain stilll does not resolve.

 

First, I had created the directory on my own and setup a redirection, that did not work.

Then I deleted it. Recreated it by using the subdomain pannel.

It still does not resolve.

What could i be missing?

 

thnx

[TCH-Bruce]

If it's still not working you may need to open a help desk ticket (link at top of page).

[TCH-Don]

Have you tried to create a subdomain using a different name?

is there something still in the .htaccess file?

[zro@redtv]

I had a few times. and I'd made sure that the htaccess file was gone, too.

 

I did a ticket.

 

This was the response.

There was a problem with the DNS Zone. I have corrected it and the subdomains should work fine now. It may take some time for propagation.

I've had this prob before, actually.

still not exactally sure what it is.

I hop im not bothering the help ticket people when this happenes...

would the problem have been resolved if id just waited and not filled out a ticket?

it seems to be on their end, and I don't want to waste anyones time... is it worth fillling out a ticket?

 

ALSO...

I'm still having a related problem.

I have registered another domain name for this particular part of my sight.

and on my registrars site set up a Cname alias to the subdomain. (which properly resolves now)

 

BUT, it errors when i try to resolve the new Domain name.

"There is no website configured at this address."

cpanel error.

 

I'm not pointing to an ip or anything... I'm pointing to the specific subdomain.

I supppose i could do this with a url frame... but id rather not.

what do we suppose im doing wrong, now?

 

 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!

Unless you have a resellers account, you cannot point another domain to a subdomain.

[zro@redtv]

i see that now thnx.

(got impatient and took out a ticket...sry)

 

Thats really too bad. I remember when you could....

and also PARK-domain was in the cpanel, 2.

to my understanding you can still park. Why is this not in the pannel anymore?

and also why can't you ADD_on, also?

is it a billing thing or a technical thing?

just curious.

 

 

 

...ALSO

is there any limit to parking domains?

I notice it nolonger says unlimited in the cpanel.

 

(btw all my sub-problems are fixd now...thnx so much!)

[TCH-Bruce]

Parking another domain name is just having that new domain pointing to the same place as the original domain.

 

You need a reseller account to host multiple domains or individual hosting accounts for each domain.

[zro@redtv]

Is there a limit?

and why isnt it in the cpanel anymore?

[TCH-Rick]

It should never have been an option in the CPanel except on reseller accounts. The reason is that if a domain is parked incorrectly it can cause problems including causing the webserver to fail. All domains must be parked by a tech so that if there is a problem it can be corrected quickly.

[zro@redtv]

with parked domains....

I would want to change my Registrars info to use TCH Name servers... correct?

Also,... is there a limit? I notice it says X/0 in the cpanel info.

 

(tch is sooooooo great.... thnx, all.)

[TCH-Bruce]

Yes, you would change the DNS servers to TCH.

 

Not sure if there is a limit to how many you can park.
