Hosting Problem -- Htaccess on an Add-on Domain name?

[LMC]

Hello Techies,

Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with one of my websites.

Basically I have an addondomain.com and I'm running a script through it that uses .htaccess . The script instructions state, If you want to run this in a folder you'll need to place the folder name before index.php.

Well I don't have the folder name there, and the script is not working, when I put the addondomain.com folder name there I get a database error?

Anyone want to help?

Is your hosting service set up to serve your new domain? If so put up a test script, for example, a file called test.php containing the following:

<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>

and point your browser to http://www/addondomain.com/test.php and see what you get. If you get nothing or an error the server set up is at fault. If you get "Hello World" your script setup is at fault.
