Redirect to subfolder

[tommo]

Hi,

i created a subdomain "www.shop.domain.tld". The system made a subfolder "public_html/shop".
Now i need several othe subdomains that point to that folder "public_html/shop", but in cpanel i can only redirect to domains (e.g. www.shop.domain.tld). How can i point the subdomains directly to that folder.

I have a Baby Croc Hosting package.

you can create the sub domain, then redirect them on the same page!

you can also redirect shop1.domain.tld (and others) to shop.domain.tld by putting a redirect page in domain.tld/shop1 that will forward the visitors to shop.domain.tld or domain.tld/shop !

there is a multishop-system installed on shop.domain.tld. I need the subdomains to activate the right subshop. So i have to redirect the subdomains directly to the folder, not to the domain. I hope you understand what i meen. Sorry, my english is not so good.

Thanks,
Tom

you can redirect the sub domain to anywhere you want. that might be another domain / another sub domain / sub folder / a file.... anything

Hi,

sorry, but it doesn't work.

I set up a subdomain (ch-shop.domain.tld) and made a redirect to "public_html/shop" (this is the folder with the multistore). But the System sent me to "http://ch-shop.domain.tld/home/sysadmin/public_html/ch-shop/public_html/shop"

What's wrong here??

Thank you,
Tom

Why did you need to use a redirect. A subdomain would have pointed to http://subdomain.yourdomain.com/

Anything in the config files looking for a direct path would be /home/username/public_html/subdomain_folder/

I created a subdomain shop.domain.tld, the system created a folder public_html/shop. In this folder i installed a multi-shop system. In this multi-shop system i can set up serveral subshops which all get their data out of one databese. In the shop-config i must name a subdomain for each of the subshops. To view a special shop from the multi-shop system, you must point a subdomain e.g. shop1.domain.tld to the folder public_html/shop, to view shop2 you must point a subdomain shop2.domain.tld to the folder public_html/shop and so on. So all subdomains must point to the same folder (public_html/shop) and the shop-system shows the subshop with wich the subdomain is configured.

I hope you can folllow me?

If you're trying to get a subdomain to have its root directory in a folder (and not just redirect), you'll need to email support and tell them to switch you over to the X3 theme.

The X3 theme will then let you create a subdomain and define it's root folder.
