Problems with GoDaddy multiple site hosting...

    Hi all,

    I have a GoDaddy deluxe hosting account, which allows for multiple site hosting... I set metatraderadvisor.com as the primary site, so it points to the root directory of the hosting account.

    I also created a /leoarcade folder and uploaded there files for a second website, leoarcade.com.

    When you go to www.leoarcade.com, all the links are screwed up because it assumes that this:

    http://www.leoarcade.com/home/content/o/u/t/outspan87/html/leoarcade/

    is the site homepage, which of course is wrong and results in a bunch of 404 errors. But, if you go here:

    http://www.metatraderadvisor.com/leoarcade

    everything works fine. What gives? Could you help me please?

    thanks

    I tried looking at your source code but only saw the output so I could not determine how your script is written.

    The problem is about how the script is generating the links. The script should be looking for sub-folders in the current folder and not at the site root. For example your image are in the /subfolder/images not in primary domain/images.

    With some scripts this is an easy fix and with some it is not. It may even be something you can change in the script config file.

    CPanel does a better job of handling this quirk that Godaddy does.

    Hope this at least points you in the right direction.

    EDIT: Did you create the subfolder or allow the system to create it???? The proper way with godaddy hosting is to add on the domain and allow the sytem to create the new folder.

    I suspected so...

    I created the folder myself... but I can't repeat the process and move the files now, it's about 3 GB... so I'm thinking of adding a forwarding + redirect as a temporary solution.

    Thanks for your help!
