chuckmalani Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 i thought when we set up a new account, cpanel/whm automatically sets up the "www" subdomain to link to the index page. is there some step i forgot to do? i also just registered it yesterday and it just propogated like within the past 30 mins or so. i can go to http://**** but ***** does not come up. thanks! chuck Quote
chuckmalani Posted January 15, 2004 Author Posted January 15, 2004 also, to make it weirder, my buddy sees the opposite... the URL is [edit: poster removed URL - there's some adult jokes and such on the site] can anyone get it to work with or without the www? thanks chuck Quote
natimage Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Both worked for me. Loaded using www first, then it loaded without www. Using mozilla 5.0. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 It can take up to 72 hours for site names to fully propogate. Quote
DarqFlare Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Both domains worked for me, with and without the www. As said before, domain names can take 72 hours to fully propogate. I wouldn't worry about it very much if you get intermittent results trying to access your website, it probably just means your ISP is still figuring things out. Quote
chuckmalani Posted January 15, 2004 Author Posted January 15, 2004 cool thanks, i'll hold my horses for a couple days... chuck Quote
SEO Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Chuck: Others who posted assumed that www.**** was your 'actual' domain. Is this true [or were you just using it as a hypothetical]? Quote
DarqFlare Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Scott, His website was listed before but the link to it was removed. I tried his actual site, not ****, and it did work for me. Quote
SEO Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks Robert for the clarification.... would have been quite surprised! Quote
arvind Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 another similar questoion though. I have a subdomain that can be accessed via sub.domain.com but how do I make it such that it can be accessed via www.sub.domain.com. Currently if I try accessing it with the www in front I get a cpanel page There is no website configured at this address. Quote
Lianna Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Arvind, you can't. cPanel does not support that level of subdomain. See, www really is just a subdomain that usually redirects to the root second level domain (ie: www.secondlevel.com > secondlevel.com). You could set any subdomain to do the same thing through redirect, but normally, subdomains redirect to a subfolder withing the domain's home site structure (ie: sub.domain.com > /domain/sub). You could also have sub.sub.domain.com (which would be the case with www.sub.domain.com), but cPanel doesn't support it. Mud? Quote
TCH-Rick Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Arvind, when did you create the subdomain? CPanel does not add entries to allow sub.domain.com and www.sub.domain.com to work. This has been added in a recent release so if the subdomain was created a few months ago only sub.domain.com will work. You should try removing the subdomain and recreating it and it should work with or without the www in front. Quote
Lianna Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Oh yeah?? Cool news, Rick! Thanks for the update. Quote
DarqFlare Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Nice to hear Rick! Thanks for the heads-up. Some time back I actually made a sub.sub.domain.ext setup, and I think it worked... Not sure, because I removed it. lol... Quote
