Ojster Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hello, I was trying to setup a subdomain to point to certain directory to get directly to an e-mail client and after I did that every URL I request redirects me to the e-mail client and my site is completely unavailable since it always asks for a password and you can not view any portion of the site. What can I do? I removed the redirection and it is still the same. Even if I type http://www.pocketpcstuff.com it redirects me to the e-mail client. Does anyone know what's worng? Is this some kind of bug in control panel? I've never had such problems before. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Andy Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi Peter, Not sure I can help a lot, I've not come across this problem. I've tried to access your site, and I can see yout problem!!!! A few questions to help me understand a little. 1. What did you call the subsomain? 2. Did you make any other changes? 3. You have removed the re-direct, have you removed the subdirectory?

Ojster Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hello, thanks for your reply. I called the subdomain mail.pocketpcstuff.com and I redirected it to the e-mail client After this I removed this redirect as well as the directory - first I did not see the directory but then I saw that something was created and I deleted it. But it is still the same. I did not make any other changes. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojster Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 I got it working! I started deleting everything that was not created by me and I came to the file .htaccess which when I opened it contained some redirect info. I deleted that file and Voila! it's working! But this must be a bug in CP since this should not happen. Regards, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi, Glad you got everything working. As far as I know, there is no bug in CP, although I will have a look. Happy Easter Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxturt Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Did you empty the trash yet? Unless you've created another one I would put the .htaccess file back if you can and just edit the file of the redirect line you don't want. I'm not sure it will auto-generate a new htaccess file for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojster Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 I was in a hurry on Friday and I wanted to get the site working so I simply deleted the file - I will check it out and see what needs to be removed. And I also got contacted by administrator so we will work it out and see what's wrong. I am away for this weekend and will report on what went wrong so in case anyone else has this problem in the future he/she will know what happened.

Ojster Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 I think I found out where the problem was. As I see it now - what happened to me can only happen when you are creating subdomains for the first time. As soon as you create the first subdomain you can no longer make what I did. Since I was already on my way out when I was trying this I was not careful and I must have first created redirection without actually defining the subdomain. And when nothing happened I notice that there was no redirection created and then I saw I need to create subdomain first. I did that and after that created the redirect again. But only this second one showed up, the first one though must have been written into the .htaccess file but it did not show up in CP. After you create one subdomian you have no option to choose no prefix. So I guess this was my problem - so my advice for myself is: take the time and if something like this happened to you just correct the .htaccess file and first create the subdomain.
