addon domain will only load with /inde.php

[lhungil]

Just heard back from my host this is what they have advised
Restrict Access to Addon Domains through the Main Domain
Summary

All Addon Domains must be associated with a subdomain. You are able to disable access to the subdomain, this article will show you how to do this....

So basically their tier I/II support is saying they will not allow you to have two domains under the same account with separate "document roots"... Not the ideal situation for hosting two separate domains.

This impacts far more than just "blocking web access to the defined dummy subdomain" and "blocking web access to the 2nd domain's document root from the 1st domain" (Which is all the rules they gave you do)...

This also impacts the contents of the ".htaccess" files in the document root of both domains... You will have to address the issues caused by having nested "docuement roots"... Including needing to REMOVE all "Redirect" directives in the two ".htaccess" files (you can replace with RewriteRules). You will also have to add special rules (additional RewriteConds) for each and every RewriteRule to only apply the rules based upon their containing folder and specified host name... Just plain ugly...

Hi All - I'm not having a load problem but I am having a problem keeping the addon domain names in the address bar.

For example, I have zen cart setup with domain1.com. Then I have doamin2.com and domain3.com added to my main account as addon domains with the root as the zen cart.

Using any of the domain names, zen cart loads with the proper domain name in the address bar BUT with the addon domains, if I click on anything within zen cart, the URL in the address bar changes back to the domain1.com and does not continue to stay with the addon domain used.

I do know about the configure.php file but wasn't sure if making changes there would render me errors.

Any suggests here???

You do need to change these files. It will only render errors if you make a mistake. :-)
