Thread: Trying to publish 2nd domain name

Hi. I am now totally confused.

I have purchased a 2nd domain name. Set the 3rd party name servers to point to blue voda. Created an add on domain. Have a one page web site named as index.
Do I have to upload this page through file manager into the 2nd domain name before it will publish? Also is there anthing else I need to do before clicking on publish.
Any help appreciated.

yes just one more thing.

When you hit publish you will notice public_html in the dialogue box. Change this to public_html/mysecondsite (might need to add .com .co whatever)

Darren

first/main site is published to

public_html

addon domain pages are published to

public_html/domainname

above appear and should be changed when you hit the publish icon.

DO NOT USE THE FILE MANAGER FOR BVP PAGES.

Thanks for putting me straight. Now published

Just published but now the 2nd domain name page content opens in the main domain name. What I was trying to do was:
My main domain name is www.gokartbuggies.co.uk. This site sells Go Karts

My second add on domain is www.quadbikeriding-in-kent.co.uk. I created a seperate and different web site for this. But since this has been published. it has also over written my main site layout.
What have I done wrong?
Or, can I not operate two seperate web sites without two seperate hostings.

Very confused

Read MY post again

You must change the publish dropdown box details to switch/publish to different websites with different domain names in the same account.

Publish to your public_html
for this one: www.gokartbuggies.co.uk

and publish to public_html/quadbikeriding-in-kent.co.uk
for your 2nd site

Hi. Sorry if I am being slow but before publishing the 2nd site the main site was working fine. Since publishing the 2nd one with the public.html/2nd site name. The first site will not re publish (even with the public.html/1st site name).
Error code 550 comes up, no public.html file

Something I am doing wrong but I do not know what.
In the Vodahost foder, I have one foder for the 1st domain and a sepreate foder for the 2nd domain. Inside these folders the web site is saved as index.

Did you type in public.html or public_html? It should be the later.

No what it was, was I was putting both domain names i instead of the main one as just public_html.

Now sorted and all working

Thanks for help
