Subdomains work different than old host, sub as parked.

[618football]

Hello,

I just transferred from another webhost. Big Joomla website.

I am using opensef and jms to have 70 multiple sites.

Problem is that I am looking at the domain entered in the URL string and showing diffrent content based on that.

My old webhost if the subdomain wasn't setup would just put it into the /. That would work, or I would setup so that duquoin.618football.com went to /

I can not figure out here how to add a subdomain that points to / and works as duquoin.618football.com.

Note, I do not want a directory created in my root.

This has messed up my whole website. I don't want to have 70 different directories such that if I want to change a file I need to do it 70 times.

Therefore, I need a way to setup my subdomains so that they work as a parked domain adn just use the files from www.

Any ideas. I found something in apache_LISTSUBDOMAINS_0 but it doesn't allow me to use the / for my subdomain.

HELP!

in the subdomain setup I want it to be like

duquoin.618football.com (public_html) instead of duquoin.618football.com (public_html/duquoin)

and i do not want to redirect it as I want pages to have an address like

duquoin.618football.com/links.html

a redirect would make it 618football.com/links.html

which in my setup is different site altogether.

I agree, I found this somewhat strange that sub-domains are actually created under public_html.

This means .htaccess is inherited in the sub-domain - something I needed to work around.

My prior hosting company put another directory in my top-level

so old setup was:

http://www.mainsite.tld and http://mainsite.tld existed here:

~/public_html and ~/www

http://forum.mainsite.tld existed here:

~/forum

The control panel on the old site asked me what directory I wanted the new forum to exist in (defaulted to the above).

Note that I could also create 'accounts' which had their own directory tree. With cpanel it appears you have one login account, an ftp account, a mail account... Just a different way to slice things up I guess.

if i can't get this to work, I can't be hosted here.

I found something that talks of this, but talks of a symlink, what is that?

oh, i got it... just need ssh turned on. I asked to turn it on but I didn't get a reply yet.

in my cpanel, where it says submit a support ticket, is empty, no link.
