index.html problem?/addon domain ?

[ryansmith]

ok, i purchased ryansmithmedia.com a few months ago, when i did, i made a crappy little "coming soon" page; i got dreamweaver 8, have my basic site made and i uploaded it through dreamweaver

BUT when i type in my url it STILL takes me to that coming soon page, i made sure when i was making the site that home page was set as home, and named index.html

im able to type in say ryansmithmedia.com/rottixstudios.html and it will take me to that page in the site i made, but when i get there and click the HOME button it still takes me to the coming soon page NOT the home page i made and uploaded

PLEASE HELP ME and tell me what i gotta do


ALSO
i purchased rottixstudios.com today, and did the addon domain thing so that if someone typed in www.rottixstudios.com itd take them to ryansmithmedia.com/rottixstudios.html but instead it takes me to a 404 error page

You should make a folder for each add-on domain inside your public_html folder. Then you should use cPanel to direct those domains to the appropriate folders and you should put all of the site files for each add-on into their appropriate folders. Using index.html as the hub file for each add-on.

You may find that these folders were already created for you, in which case just use them.

did you change the original page from defaut.htm or html of index.htm or html?

[ryansmith]

actually, i fixed the comingsoon page problem, alls i had to do was refresh the page, so i refrshed it on ryansmithmedia.com AND www.ryansmthmedia.com so whether which u type in, youll NOW get to the site

and about the rottixstudios domin, do u think if i were to log in to the rottixstyudios.com cpanel i could do ftp my site onto it, would that work??

[shadmego]

If rottixstudios.com used to be with another hosting company, you will have to move the files over to hostmonster. Because you did the addon domain through Hostmonster, browsers are looking to that account to serve the pages that belong to rottixstudios.com. If these pages aren't in their proper folder, it will return the 404 error.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong ...

well it wasnt previously with another company, i JUST baught it, just dont know how to get it to redirect the url to www.ryansmithmedia.com/rottixstudios.html

i went to ADDON DOMAINS and typed it to addon to the url i want but i still get the 404 error..

[shadmego]

If you bought your new domain name less than about 72 hours ago, it may just take time to propogate through all the DNS servers on the net.

Another thing you might want to do it check the registrar you bought the domain from and make sure to point the name servers to hostmonster name servers.

ns1.hostmonster.com
ns2.hostmonster.com

well i baught it on sunday, i really just dont know what to do to get it to direct to the certain page on my site, i dont know if i have to upload my site again or what....

[ComputerGenius]

If I understand correctly you want www.rottixstudios.com to be redirected to www.ryansmithmedia.com/rottixstudios.html. You also created rottixstudios.com by using the addon domain. If thats the case then this should help..
First look in your /public_html folder. You should see a folder named rottuxstudios or something similar. In this folder you need to create a txt file called .htaccess This .htaccess file must contain the following code.


Redirect /index.html http://www.ryansmithmedia.com/rottixstudios.html


Hopefully this will help. If not I apologize :>

im in the public_html folder on that javascript thing for ftp, but i dont see the folder. do i make one? do i make it by clicking "make dir."??

[ComputerGenius]

Since you can't
find that folder, I would contact support and ask for assistance. Use the live chat on the front page.
