Add on domains in A2hosting, and Dreamweaver
Bob M | May 15 2008
I signed up for A2 hosting using the 43folders coupon (I hope someone was able to have lunch on the commission;), and am wanting to set up an add on domain. This is where my first domain is: /public_html/ = domain1.com and /public_html/domain2/ = domain2.com i.e., both in the same file structure, but they appear as two separate domains. I use Dreamweaver and already have domain1.com's site root set to: /public_html/ where /public_html/index.htm is my home page. If I add this 2nd domain, from a file system perspective, it will be a part of domain1's file system. I'm told I can cloak directories so that domain2 won't get uploaded to domain1, but in terms of global search and replace, etc., it still seems wonky. Have other people here used add on domains and who use Dreamweaver, and if so, how do they structure things? One idea is to embed domain1 into /public_html/domain1/ and then presumably A2 can make that the root. I asked A2, but they said they couldn't answer Dreamweaver questions. Thanks. Bob 2 Comments

OK, after several back and forths over at A2, where one suggestion was to nest my primary domain and then create a symbolic link to its index.htm/html/php file (this only worked for that file but not any others), it was suggested that I: Add an addon domain parallel to my public_html folder. Click on my add-on domain icon and add the directory next to the house icon (omit the public_html). Assuming the permissions are correct, then I shouldn't have anything to worry about, AFAICT, and this is what you've done, so it seems like the way to go. Thanks. Bob » POSTED IN:
