In my last post, I talked about how I did something dumb with my subdomains.
How did I install subdomains?
Stupidly. Or rather, stupid for DreamHost. See, many other hosts, when you make a subdomain, come up with this structure for your files:
/home/ipstenu/public_html/
/subdomain1
/subdomain2
/addon.com
So when I made my subs, I made them similar to that. What DreamHost does is this:
/home/elftest/elftest.net/
/db.elftest.net/
/addon.com
I suggest you do the default! If you didn’t, however, there is a way to fix it. It’s a two step process.
1) Move the files.
I found it easier to do this in Unix $ mv elftest.net/trunk trunk.elftest.net (this moves and renames all in one). If you wanted to do it via FTP, just drag and drop, then rename.
2) Change the location in Panel.
Go into your panel, edit the domain, and change elftest.net/trunk:
To trunk.elftest.net:
Give it 5 to 10 minutes, and you’re done!
tl;dr to the whole thing is this: Trust the tool! (Sharon, that was for you!)
