Problem with .htaccess and subdomain

Hello,

I have a hosting account by hostmonster. You can have more than one domain hosted over there. When you want to install a new website with your new domain, you have to create an addon domain with your new domain into your main domain. I did all of them, but when I upload my script into my directory (/home/user/public_html/new-domain) (this path is just a sample), then I get the 500 error message. I contact hostmonster and they told me:
because an addon domain is like a subdomain, I have to fix my .htaccess file, but they didn't give me any clue, what I have to do with that file.

I hope someone here by DP can help me with that.

I appreciate that,
ameran

Hi,

I tried to play with code and reading about .htaccess in internet, then I could fix it.

This is how I could get my subdomain running. Add this code to your .htaccess in your root directory:

# wiki subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} wiki.domain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wiki/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wiki/$1 [L]


and then add this code to the .htaccess in the directory you want to exclude (the subdomain dir):
(Make a new .htaccess file if you don´t have it in your subdomain dir and then add this code to it)


RewriteEngine Off
<Files /wiki>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

ameran
