Author how do I make a sub-domain?
Joe

2005-07-26, 4:39 am

Hello all

I'm new here and new to this whole web building experience.

So I bought a domain name. Uploaded and few html's and all is good.

Now I want a sub-domain. Web host says I have 3 available. Cool.
so I created the su-domain name thru cpanel. now how or where do I upload
html's so they are available to the web? Right now typing in the sub-
address gets a 404. (But you probably already knew that)

Thanks in advance

www.domain.com then
www.sub-domain.domain.com

if it matters

upload into sub-domain folder wich is created inside your "user/public_html"
folder, so it probably is
user/ public_html/sub-domain

Hello! Joe..

If you are using cpanel...there is subdomain icon in it...Use it to
create subdomains..

like xxxxx.yourdomain.com

after that the folder where ur index file is uploaded like you'll find
a folder xxxxx
mostly public_html/xxxxx/

put ur files in this folder.

If you are more accustomed to FTP-based file management, then set up an FTP
account for that subsite (also in cPanel). Then, either you or somebody
else can get simplified access to that subdomain rather than going through
the extra 2 levels of directory structure, namely
/public_html/your_subdomain

the 404 error is coming due to no index file in the subdomain. Put a
index or default file in it.It will start working...

ok one more thing.

i need to change the link syntax to reflect the new directory structure,
right? i've played with it and can't make the links work.

joe is the folder under the public_html folder

<p><a href="blog.html">Blog</a></p> would this be wrong?

or should i switch to the alt.html group to be more on topic?

thanks again

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. But I'll have a stab for you anyway.

That link should work if blog.html exists in the same directory as the page
it is on.
However an absolute link will work anywhere.

<p><a href="http://joe.ponkey.com/blog.html">Blog</a></p>

Nah! Loads of them are here anyway and it's much more interesting than the
noise from the other fcukwits that rocked up lately.

thats whats so confounding. that absolute link doesn't work.
i'm baffled. i think the bummer is that its basic syntax crap.
the link looks right. the file exists. all seems well but still...

thanks

It appears you don't have the file in your subdomain directory as yet.
You obviously have index.html, but none of the others... so it seems.

Why reinvent the wheel? Sure you can learn lots, but you'll probably find
some great scripts out there which will help you set up a blogsite.

Your email address will get harvested if you leave it as mailto:me@me.com
in the source code. I'd suggest asking your host if they have PHP installed
or a CGI method.

Cheers

thank you for your help. i went live yesterday with joe.ponkey.com.
plainly it is a work in progress but some things, it seems, must be
tested from a server instead of locally.

i'll be back to ask more noob questions later :)

indeed they must - many developers actually go to great pains to ensure
they have a local development server that actually mirrors the
functionality of their production environment.

Ho yes.

now.
