Devynn Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I was wondering if you can use Entropy Banner Ads on subdomains, such as I am running http://ros.chris-n-kristi.com now and I would like to use the banner on that part of my site, is it possible? Quote
Lianna Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Devynn, Although I've never used the Entropy Banner feature, seems that using it in a subdomain's directory (public_html/subdomainname folder) should be no different than using it in any other subdirectory (public_html/subdirname folder) of your site. See what I mean? That's all a subdomain really is: a subdirectory of your main site with a configured URL. So, my question would be, does it work in ANY subdirectory? If so, then you should also be able to make it work in your subdomain's directory. Anybody have Entropy Banner working in a subdirectory? Lianna Quote
Devynn Posted February 26, 2003 Author Posted February 26, 2003 I did some more testing of this last night and found the only way I could get it to work was if the .shmtl file was in the root of my webspace (ie. public_html). It calls the script with this, < !--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-- >, and if you think about it, if I did www.chris-n-kristi.com/ros, then I could modify the code to be < !--#exec cmd="../cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-- >, but since I am using ros.chris-n-kristi.com I can't do that because as far as the server is concerned, at least my view of it, is /public_html/ros is the root of ros.chris-n-kristi.com so I can't even get to the script, much less the pictures that it pulls. One thing I did to work around this problem at the moment, is on my framed page, I made the top frame where I want the script to run, reside in www.chris-n-kristi.com instead of ros.chris-n-kristi.com and that has worked as a work around.

You're exactly right. The subdomain's root IS the subdirectory. Yep. Doh! Lianna EDIT: I'm going back to bed. My brain's not quite functioning right this morning. Maybe I should just try again.
