Subdomain not finiding index file

[wjh2303]

I started a thread on this already, but the thread ( http://x10hosting.com/forums/free-hosting/112579-subdomain-not-finding-index-file.html )was closed with the issue unresolved

I set up a subdomain, and got it a .co.cc address ( http://epsomandewellrevisited.co.cc ) however when visit it, i get a 404 as it apparently cant find it's index.php page, however if i type the adress for the file http://epsomandewellrevisited.co.cc/index.php it loads fine.

TIA

I checked your link . Can you check your .htacess file in your home directory.That might be the problem

I read your last thread.
Try creating a .htaccess file in the subdomain folder.This will work.One of my friend has the same problem and this solved the issue

 

[wjh2303]

how should the htaccess file in the home directory read? In the subdomain folder the htaccess already contains

DirectoryIndex index.php

but doesnt appear to work

What you have mentioned is correct .And i should have solved the problem.

not sure if it helps, but the error log says:
"File does not exist: /home/wjh31/public_html/epsomandewellrevisited/home"

Please post the entire contents of .htaccess from both public_html and the subdomain folder.

 

[wjh2303]

in public_html:

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^location/([^/\.]+)/?$ location.php?location=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^locmini/([^/\.]+)/?$ locmini.php?location=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/?$ category.php?tag=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^bylocation/([^/\.]+)/?$ bylocation.php?tag=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^viewtl/([^/\.]+)/?$ viewtl.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^list/([^/\.]+)/?$ list.php?sortby=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^fullscreen/([^/\.]+)/?$ fullscreen.php?location=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ $1.php

in subdomain folder:

DirectoryIndex index.php

thanks

 

[descalzo]

Try this:

# RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ $1.php

ie comment out that last rule and see if that fixes it.

 

[wjh2303]

yes, that fixed it thanks, i guess it was trying to send it to ".php" instead of recognising the need for the index. To maintain the rewrite rule in the root, i added "RewriteEngine off" to the .htaccess in the subdomain, issue is now resolved, yay and thanks.
