(i.e. - newdomain.com linked to /wp-hive directory).</p> <p>If your host does not allow you to do the same thing for a sub-domain, then you're stuck as far as the sub-domain is concerned. But, you could still use wp-hive for the main domain and any other main domains you have. Or, you can switch to another host. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/pointing-sub-domain-to-main-installation/page/7#post-186 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:32:11 +0000 TACD 186@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>I'm having a similar problem, using NearlyFreeSpeech.net, who provide a very minimal admin frontend for such things.

And just to clarify, you want to point domain1.com and domain2.com to the same file folder in your server, not pointing one to the other.</p> <p>You are in the right area of CPanel - Addon domain, or a Parked domain. A parked domain forces you to use the same directory as the primary domain in the account, but the addon you can specify a subfolder to point it to. Generally you can use a parked domain if your WP files are in the root (/www, or /public_html) and use an addon domain if your WP files are in a subdirectory (/www/wordpress, or /public_html/wordpress)</p> <p>Regarding the error you got from CPanel, it appears that that an entry for that domain name already exists on the server, and CPanel won't let you use it. That is an issue you'd have to take up with your web-host. If you do own the domain, then one thought is that it's possible you registered it on that server before using a different account. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/subdomain-pointing-help/page/5#post-135 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:59:20 +0000 JCFreak1223 135@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Can you actually point domain1.com to domain2.com and manage 2 different domains or does this just work with subdomains within one domain?</p> <p>If you can manage 2 different domains, what is the setup process in cPanel?

However, despite trying everything mentioned by yourself and JC, I still couldn't get WP-Hive to do it's thing so to speak.</p> <p>However, in my quest to find out why, I discovered that there are several versions of cpanel available and they can be changed through the Web Host Manager provided you have access to same. My cpanel was preset on version x which is the default. By changing the cpanel to version x3, you end up with a totally different interface.</p> <p>I selected the sub domain option to set up the sub domain that I wanted to use with WP-Hive. Put in the sub domain name and then there is box underneath that doesn't show up on the default cpanel interface, called Document Root. This is initially filled in with the default path to the sub domain that you have just created. However, all you need to do is changed the path name to the directory or sub directory where the WP/WP-Hive files are located. Click the create button and the new sub domain is pointing to WP-Hive and everything works as it is supposed to. The same options are available on the Addon and Parked domain screens.<br /> The other thing I have noticed is that no actual sub domain folder is created on the server either.</p> <p>So, if you cannot get WP-Hive working properly, either go in to your Web Host Manager and change the cpanel to X3 or if you do not have access to WHM, ask your server company to do it for you.</p> <p>I am intending setting up a multi sub domain site in the next few days using WP-Hive, now that I know that it works with my server, which incidentally is also in Canada - kiosk.ws.</p> <p>Alan </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/pointing-a-sub-domain-how/page/2#post-33 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:26:30 +0000 ikailo 33@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>You definitely don't want it to redirect - if it is a 301, then WP Hive can't read the proper hostname and decide which site the request is for.

This sets up a 301 redirect from the sub domain to the blog directory. However, if I try to access the sub domain, all it does is redirect me to the blog front page which is what I would have expected from a 301 redirect.</p> <p>Question is, does 'pointing the sub domain' mean redirect or am I missing something obvious here.
