htaccess and sub domains

If you have sub domains on same account on which vshare installed, sub domains will not work as .htaccess conflict with sub domains.

The problem can be solved by creating sub domain as its own account with cpanel user name and password. This is possible only if you have WHM (reseller or root access on the server).

Other solution is edit .htaccess file

If your sub domain is

http://dating.yourdomain.extn

You need to add following to .htaccess file

Code:

---

RewriteRule ^dating$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^dating/(.*) - [L]

---

You can add this below

Code:

---

RewriteRule ^install$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^install/(.*) - [L]

---

OK support went about and messed soemthing up. I get a 500 internal server error when trying to access my site now. They keep saying .htaccess but give very little help otherwise.This script WAS working perfect till they assed it up. So I have no choice but to paste the whole .htaccess here.

They say it's related to the redirects in the .htaccess whatever that means
Please Help.
Thanks

Where you get internal error ?

Remove the changes you made one by one and see which change create the problem.

I'm sorry to say.But it was working perfect then the support at my site messed it up. I did not change a thing.

:cry:

I was able to upload the original .htaccess and get it to work.

That subdomain worked a treat as well.

Thanks

Yep, I was having a horrible time with subdomains and addon domains. Anytime I'd type in "http://myaddondomain.com/" it would say "no such user" in the video share script and things like this. It was just ugly.

The easiest solution I could come up with (rather than messing with the .htaccess) was to start over put vshare in it's own folder like http://mymaindomain.com/community

Then I put up a silent index.html redirect in the public_html folder so that http://mymaindomain.com goes directly to http://mymaindomain.com/community

I am trying to have an entry page so that when somebody writes http://www.mydomain.com have to read something , then press a button to acept, then he will go to http://www.mydomain.com/entry
I dont know where i am going wrong, but if i put the index.html in the public html, it displays a 404, and http://www.mydomain.com doesnt work, only http://www.mydomain.com/entry ...

First thing I have to ask is (for the entry page) is it really necessary? If not, then why have it?

The one thing I don't like about entry or "cover" pages is that it's an obstacle for people getting to your site. You don't want to put unnecessary obstables in anybody's way (see http://webpagesthatsuck.com) unless it's a warning about porn or something, then yeah, you'll probably want that.

I don't know why your main domain isn't working. Check with your webhost. Anytime you have index.html in your public_html folder, that's where the site should go. It's probably a setting somewhere in your cPanel, but check with your webhost as to why your domain isn't working and giving you a 404 error.

WHat permissions is the .htaccess supposed to be set at?? 777?

644 will work.
