canadave Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here Hopefully someone can tell me where. I've had my infinitives.ca domain, as well as several other domains, hosted with Hawk Host for some time now. I just today decided to add a Wordpress blog as a subdomain to infinitives.ca. First, I went to cPanel and created a new subdomain inside infinitives.ca called "awordplease", because I want the blog to be at http://awordplease.infinitives.ca. Then, in Softaculous, I installed the Wordpress blog to "awordplease.infinitives.ca", and the installation was successful. The way I have my /public_html set up, by the way, is a little different than most. It looks like this: /public_html -----> myotherdomain1.ca -----> myotherdomain2.ca -----> infinitives.ca ------------> awordplease -----------------------> all the Wordpress files for the "awordplease" subdomain ------------> all my other files and folders that exist under infinitives.ca and make up that website Now, if I go to "http://awordplease.infinitives.ca/wp-admin", I can access the Wordpress administrator control panel just fine. But if I try to view my blog at "http://awordplease.infinitives.ca", the URL changes to "http://awordplease.infinitives.ca/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi", and I get a generic "Default Website page" that is some sort of cPanel placeholder page, something that basically says you might've reached this page in error, etc. What do I need to do to make my Wordpress blog accessible at that address?

canadave Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ugh....sorry! I thought I'd activated the theme, but I tried again and this time it worked--apparently I hadn't activated it properly before. Now it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
