3-21-02, 03:16 AM

i just did register a second domian with powweb , and i need it to be pointed to a particular directory on my site

the new domain is http://www.mwakasege.com

i need it to point at the directory : mwakasege

at http://www.easytravel-tanzania.com/mwakasege which is also at powweb

First of all, have you paid the $25 setup fee for domain pointing? The second domain will be pointed to your first domain. In order to have it point to a subfolder, you'll need to use the tutorial at http://pwfaqs.manninc.com/ (click on subdomains).

This will require changes/creation of a file named .htacess, which you'll need to place under the htdocs folder. PowWeb doesn't offer support for these changes.

Hi Manninc

I always read your posts...you sure seem to be knowledgable! Congrats on being made a Moderator.

I followed your link, http://pwfaqs.manninc.com/ , but I get a 500 Error page. Just thought you might want to know.

please tell how do i get to pay the 25 dollars and i will pay it since i already have an account with powweb

but just for your www.networksolutions.com is giving free pointing services this makes it cheaper for a client who would rather register a domain with networksolutions but have it pointed to a directory in powweb

Sorry about that. I was testing some stuff this morning and guess I uploaded my old .htaccess file on accident. It should be working now.

Thanks Ddr. I'm just glad that I'm able to help others. It's actually one of the things I love to do the most.
