Sub domain url

[margiebaxley]

Main site: modestywebmasters.com
Addon: sanaslegacy.com
sub domain: calliopeisland.sanaslegacy.com

When I go to my sub domain I only get a list of my files, not to the page that I published in blue voda. If I click on the calliope.html, I see it but the url is: calliopeisland.sanaslegacy.com/calliopeisland. So which one should be the correct url. I know normally the calliopeisland.sanaslegacy.com should be correct.

Thank you,

Margie Baxley

Re: Sub domain url

I think you have to rename "calliope.html" to index and publish it to your subdomain folder. In this way browser will be looking for "index" in that folder.

all the best.

Re: Sub domain url

Hi guys,

I need a little help please. I have a similiar problem as Margie and I'm stumped as to what to do next.

Main domain- justsaydogs.com
Add on- idealinternetincome.com
subdomain-awritersmagic.idealinternetincome.com

When I type in the subdomain url, it shows my files, you know, with parent directory and cgi bin, etc. I read the reply above about renaming the subdomain page to index, but when I tried that, it wouldn't let me. (idealinternetincome main page is already named index.)

Somewhere on another thread I read that one of the index pages should be 'hidden in another folder so it wouldn't be seen', but I have no idea how to do that.

I also have a question about differing instructions- on one thread it said to publish it and leave the 'folder' space blank. (I think that may have been navaldesign's excellent mini tutorial, complete with screen shots) Another thread said to publish it to 'public_html/awritersmagic'. So I'm a bit confused about that.

I'm also confused over what should be the final url when I do get it active...will it be awritersmagic.idealinternetincome.com or idealinternetincome.com/awritersmagic.html? Right now nothing's working.

I've been all over the forum trying to find answers and re-watched the tutorial about subdomains, and have tried several things to get my little one page subdomain published, and thus far have had no success. Any advice or suggestions will be HUGELY appreciated!

Thanks,
Honey
