Having Trouble With Addon Domain

4 replies
Okay, the tech challenged is having problems again.

Did I mention that I hate computers.

I went to my addon domain manager and went to add a domain that I just
got. I usually don't have a problem doing this.

Well, this time when I typed in the info and clicked on add, the site just
seemed to freeze. Finally, I stopped it, tried again. I then got a message
that said that the domain was already added.

Well, when I went back to my addon domain manager, the domain wasn't
there, yet a folder was created for it in cpanel.

Anyway, this was the other day.

In the meantime, I redirected the domain to my nameservers like I always
do and it's been more than 24 hours and when I try to pull the domain
up I get some weird looking site with all this junk all over it. It says it's
my domain but it's not the page that I have in my folder. So obviously, it's
not propagated correctly.

So, I deleted the folder and tried to do the process again. Still won't
let me. Say the addon domain was already added.

Anyway, I'm stuck at this point. I restored the folder. If I go to it from
file manager, the index.html shows up fine when I click on the link to
view it. But if I try to just type the domain into my browser, I get the
funky looking page.

I'm sure that what's actually there in my account is just a subfolder and
not a real addon domain.

I notified my web host but haven't heard back yet.

If anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

    I just had a similar problem where I added a few domains to my Host Gator account. The folders were created and I uploaded the files. However neither of the domains show up when checking my AW STATS. I still haven't figured this one out. This occurred on two separate HG accounts by the way. My sites do show up however when I enter the url into a browser.

    1. It could have not propogated yet. They do say it takes 24-48 hours to propogate
    2. You tried deleting the addon domain (and renaming the folder)and adding it again ?

      The problem is, there is no addon domain to delete. It's not in my list of
      addon domains even though a folder is there.

    The FTP account has probably been created.... And that is why you are having all these different problems

      Yes, it has. If I delete it, will that do the trick?

      Didn't work.

      Here is the error message I'm getting. I removed the domain name from the
      message for personal reasons.

      **************************************************
      Bind reloading on alto using rndc zone: [stevewagenheim.com] The
      subdomain, xxxxxxxxx.stevewagenheim.com has been added.

      Error from park wrapper: xxxxxxxx.com is already configured.

      Removed xxxxxxx.stevewagenheim.com Server at line: 8652. Removed
      Entry from httpd.conf Bind reloading on alto using rndc zone:
      [stevewagenheim.com] The subdomain, xxxxxxx.stevewagenheim.com has
      been removed.

      xxxxxxxx.com could not be setup. The subdomain xxxxxxx.stevewagenheim.com was not setup either.

      ************************************************** **

      I have no idea what the problem is.

        Looking at that message... Neither do I. But I can offer my assistance to you. Just sending over a PM.
