how do I use an addon domain?

hi all,
I've installed my store on my maindomian-XYZ.com.
Recently I added an "add-on" domain (ABC.com) to my EXY.com, i.e. I have a folder "ABC.com" under my publichtml.
And I tried to move my store to ABC.com using method here.
It worked well.
however, when I click on link in the store, it automatically links to "http://www.XYZ.com/ABC.com/...."
I understand that this is how it works but dont really want to show the "XYZ.com" part in the link.
I'm suspecting it is because I still put "XYZ.com" under HTTP_SERVER. however, if I change HTTP_SERVER to ABC.com, it simply just doesnt load.

Please let me know if any way to prevent the XYZ.com part to show up.
thanks so much!

the way i read your post is that you have sub-domain ABC.com

a parked domain is just a hosted domain without using it for email or as a website, or even a registered domain without hosting.

to achieve what you want https://ABC.com you will have to AddOn the domain to your hosting package
the two sites will then be independant of each other

oops i think i typed title wrong. basically I already added ABC.com to my add-on domain. and revise everything accordingly i.e. change all the below to to ABC.com.
◦DIR_WS_CATALOG
◦DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG
◦DIR_FS_CATALOG
◦DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE
◦DIR_WS_ADMIN (in admin)
◦DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN (in admin)
◦DIR_FS_ADMIN (in admin)

but still doesnt work...i use webhostinghub now.

thanks for your help in advance!

HTTP_SERVER must be the Domain Name you want the URL to start with. ie: abc.com
DIR_WSxxxx must be the path RELATIVE to the domain name. If the site is at abc.com directly then just /
DIRFS_xxxxx must refer to the complete actual path (from root of server drive), ie: /home/xyz.com_accountname/public_html/abc.com_foldername

thanks Dr byte.
I changed HTTP SERVER to abc.com. and then DIR_WS to abc.com/store (I installed in the "store" folder) then make sure my DIR_FS reflects the whole thing. such changes just disables the whole site and it showed nothing but a black page.
do you mind taking a look at my website and shed some light in terms of how to fix it?

the old website is www.fashionfiestaonline.com
the new website is www.ff-boutique.com

thanks so much.

What was the content of your /includes/configure.php file BEFORE you made these changes? (everything except the db username/pwd)
What is the correct foldername where the new domain's files sit?

HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.fashionfiestaonline.com'

'DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/'

DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/'

'DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/accountname/public_html/store/'

the new website is now located at
public_html/FF-Boutique.com/store

thanks for your help!

HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.fashionfiestaonline.com'

'DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/'

DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/'

'DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/accountname/public_html/store/'

public_html/FF-Boutique.com/store

thanks for your help!
So I would start with the following:

HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.FF-Boutique.com'

HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.fashionfiestaonline.com'

'DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/'

DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/FF-Boutique/store/'

'DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/accountname/public_html/**FF-Boutique.com/**store/'

'DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/accountname/public_html/**FF-Boutique.com/**store/cache/'

it works like magic! thank you so much!!!:clap::clap::clap:
