Hi,

I have a main site (i.e. domain.com) on my hosting account which resides at /public_html/. I also have a number of addon domains (i.e. domain2.com) which reside within their own folders as /public_html/domain2.

If I add a subdomain to one of my addon domains (like subdomain.domain2.com) the folder for the subdomain is created in /public_html/subdomain instead of /public_html/domain2/subdomain where I want it.

How can I use .htaccess or any other method to set up subdomains to internally point to another directory? I'd want the address bar to show as subdomain.domain2.com but the folder it would be using would be /public_html/domain2/subdomain instead of /public_html/subdomain. Thanks!

Ah, but I disagree! And I'm so close to getting it to work.

So, I have my .htaccess file with the following in my /public_html/ folder:


This seems to work to pick up the subdomain, but I'm getting a 404 not found. I'm not sure what the proper way to point to where I want it to go is. Would I use the /domain2/subdomain/ as I am? Apparently not. I tried the full path on the server, i.e. /home/user/public_html/domain2/subdomain/ and that didn't work either. I tried /public_html/domain2/subdomain/ and that didn't work. I just have the index.html on there so I know I hit that directory when I get it working.

Any gurus see what I'm doing wrong? :p Thanks!

Edit: I changed the rewrite to be index.php just so I could see where I was ending up here. It's in the /public_html/subdomain folder where I don't want. How can I change the rewrite path to get out of the public_html/subdomain/ folder and into the public_html/domain2/subdomain/ one? I tried ../domain2/subdomain but that gave me a Bad Request error.
