I don't know if i'm just missing what I am looking for or what. I really need to know how to set up a database for an addon domain. My hosting company will let me set up 300 MySQL Databases and they told me that I can set them up for the addon domains, but they cant seem to tell me how to do it. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I would very much appreciate any help I can get. Thanks so much in advance.
What control panel you are using? If you have Cpanel, just login there and use Cpanel >> Mysql Databases option to create database for your addon domain.
Yes i'm using Cpanel. I have the database set up. Where i'm having the problem is getting the guestbook on the addon domain to access it. Please tell me how to get the guestbook to access it. How to find it? I really appreciate you trying to help. I'm new to this and I just cant figure it out. I have tried to get my hosting company to help and all they do is tell me that it can be done, but they cant actually tell me how to set it up.
You would access it in the same way (or at least with .net you would) as the fact it is a sub domain has no influence on the matter
I appreciate the help, but I need to know how to direct the guestbook to the database. Telling me that it works the same way, just really doen't do it for me as i'm new to this. Please explain a little more in detail. Thanks again.
Surely there is a conn, config or dbconnect file in the folder with whatever script you are using. Generally you enter 3 pieces of info. database name, username and password. For some hosts the "localhost" needs to be changed. The fact the script is in sub domain or directory should make no differece.
Ok, you dont direct the person to the db but the script (php/ ASP etc) pulls the data from the db and displays it to them
