Addon domain auto redirects
I have setup an addon domain and during the process it automatically setup a subdomain and did a redirect to it.
I want the add-on domain to not redirect. I want to just pull it up in the browser with the add-on domain in the address bar but instead it shows the subdomain.
This is how add-on domain feature works. If you wish to host an entirely new site on the current hosted domain then it will do below things....Originally Posted by kaidok.net
1) Create newdirectory
2) Setup a pointer to newdirectory.olddomain.com
3) Setup a pointer to http://www.newdomain.com
Now, anything you will upload into newdirectory can be viewed by going to both http://www.newdomain.com and http://newdirectory.olddomain.com.
Ok. But one problem we are running into is that if we navigate to http://domain.com the page is blank or shows a place holder for an unfound image. If I go to http://subdomain.domain.com the site works perfectly fine. If I "view source" from my browser the html is exactly the same but it is not displaying.
Has anyone ever seen this before. It is rather strange that the page is not functioning right from the add-on domain URL. It is a simple html page with 1 image in it.
In my experience, this is caused by a X/HTML or CSS coding error. Usually caused by the X/HTML or CSS not being built with portability in mind.
Thanks David. I will look into that.
Well that seemed to be one piece of it. Now at least I get a placeholder that is the same size as the image and the image mapping is active but no image. Here is the code, as you can see it is the most basic it could be. I have tried the link to the images as the actual URL path and as ./images/main.JPG. Both produce the exact same thing.
edit: I just found out that if you go to http://heatherdmcgee.cultofnot.com and then http://heatherdmcgee.com the image shows up , but if you hit f5 the image reverts back to a placeholder. This seems like very odd behavior.
Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <img src="http://heatherdmcgee.com/images/main.JPG" width="626" height="511" hspace="300" vspace="0" border="0" usemap="#Map"> <map name="Map"> <area shape="rect" coords="515,11,585,56" href="http://heatherdmcgee.com/about.htm" target="_self"> </map> </body> </html>

Both pages work equally well for me (image displays etc.). What you describe is indicative of a client-side issue. You may wish to consider clearing your cache.
I know it is not client side as I have tried with 3 different PC's and all produce the same result. When you went to the domain, rather than the subdomain, did you press f5 and refresh it? When I do on all three machines the image changes to a place holder.
Odd, the image on the page: http://heatherdmcgee.com/images/main.JPG
... generates a HTTP 403. Are you using hotlink protection by chance?
David, you're a genious. I would not have even thought that. The customer did have it turned on so I added the domain to the allowed referers and viola, problem fixed.
Thanks a bunch to you and all of the Cpanel folks. You guys have been great.
