Installing Zen-Cart on Add-On Domain

[Berserker]

Hello,

Im installing a new zen-cart on an add-on domain but cant seem to get it to work.
I have the add-on domain folder in the root of the main account. Uploaded all the files in this folder but im getting a "HTTP 404 Not Found" when going to www.addondomain.com/zc_install...
Any help please...

Thanks

Is the add-on domain registered? Does it point to your host's name servers?

[Berserker]

Yes. Domain is registered and pointed the nameservers to the same nameservers of the main account about 4 days ago. Most guides on the net says to wait at least 48 but it has been way over that now so im not really sure what's wrong...
Are add-on domains supposed to work right away or are there other things to be done?

Installing on an add-on or subdomain shouldn't be an issue. It should work the same as if it had been installed in the root.

What happens if you put a plain index.html file in the directory? A "mock" home page... ?

[Berserker]

@afo...That's what I thought but it shows 404 Not Found. Do I have to do anything in Cpanel?

@schoolboy...Nothing happens. Same 404 Not Found.

4 days to propogate seems a long time... Ask your host to investigate.

What if you do a tracert on the domain name?

Do you know how to do a tracert ?

[Berserker]

Im talking with them now and they're saying that some files/folders are missing. What files/folders are supposed to be there when you create an add-on domain? Mine only had cgi-bin and ftpquota.

I did a tracert but im not too sure what is supposed to be there.

Thanks for all the help.
It's working now. It seems that the htacess on the main account was blocking the addon domain.

I was about to post this htaccess as a potential issue! However, seems like you go there first.
