Domain redirection questions

[rooisnor]

I set up my Zen Card in an add-on domain which I want to re-direct to the current add-on domain. Me and the host did so in the cPanel cofiguration but the problem is is that all the links you click on after that bounces back to to my MAIN domain name...

...so I went to /includes/configure.php and tried to change the domain names but it seems not to be working...

Is there a different way to go about my Zen Card showing the add-on domain right through browsing my Zen Card?

Thanks

Since the /includes/configure.php file is normally set to read-only, you'll have to make the file writable before you can save the changes you made to it.

Thanks, so I just change the server domain and make the file writeable?

I also have my .htaccess file like this:

#RewriteEngine on

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^creativesportsart.com$ [OR]

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.creativesportsart.com$

#RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.art\.theartgangster\.com" [R=301,L]

not sure if this is correct? My main domain is: theartgangster.com and the addon domain is creativesportsart.com

Not sure what you are trying to do here. You commented out all the commands, are you expecting it to do a redirection?

I was trying to get the redirection to all the pages working... if you click on anything it went back to my main page and didn't stay with the addon domain...

But I reload a stock version of the htaccess file back onto my server

Ok, I've tried that but it seems not to be working!

But it aseems to me i ran into a different problem... the stylesheet seems to not working properly... or something else went wrong

here is the site:

What exactly did you change in your configure.php files?

It's looking for your stylesheet at: http://creativesportsart.com/art ... which suggests that you forgot to remove the /art from the DIR_WS_CATALOG setting.

I haven't change anything. I've tried to make it writable and changed the domain names (SERVERS) to my addon domain but after I realized that weren't working I UNDO all the changes and uploaded it again... and it ended up like this...

here is a copy of my configuration.php

No, it's got nothing to do with the database.

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://theartgangster.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://theartgangster.com');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/art/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/art/');

So, if you're changing to a different domain, and not using the subdirectory anymore, just do this:

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.THENEWDOMAIN.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.THENEWDOMAIN.com');

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Seems to me it's database problem since non of the links are working either...
