Default Need some help. Noob here.

Trying to setup another website. Do i goto add-on domain and add another domain??

I did this and it created two folders in my public_html folder. One of the folders has a folder in it called cgi_bin and the other is empty. Which folder do I put my files into?

This is all new to me and I'm trying to figure it out.

Hi,

You need to upload your primary domains files into public_html and if you make and addon domain then the files for the addon domain go into public_html/<addonfolder>

The name of the addon domain should be the name of the folder.

Ok i got it. I added the files, or atleast some to test, to the folder that has the cgi-bin folder in it. Why is there another folder of the same name though? Can I delete this one?

There's can't be two folders of exactly the same name in the same place. Is one public_html inside of the other?

You should upload the files into the directory that has the same name as the add-on domain.
