I have created a subdomain:

test1.mydom.com

I created a directory off the main domain root called:

test1

Into it I put an index.html

When I browse to:

http://www.test1.mydom.com

It flashes very briefly, apparently an error, then back to main.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Hi,

There could be a problem with where you've located the subdomain's directory. Whenever I have a subdomain, it is actually located a folder with the same name as the subdomain. But that folder resides in the public-html (web root) folder! (Your web host might use a different name for web root.)

This is not what I would have expected. It surprised me and may be confounding you, too.

The address is subdomain.domainame.com, but the files reside in a folder in the web root.

Hi azw,

Thank you for that.

When I access me hosting site by ftp, I see one folder for each domain / subdomain:

golden-triangle.com
thaiguides.com
test1.thaiguides.com

Above that is / which I cannot navigate to. [natch]

[doooo]

Got it.

I put my own test index.htnl in test1.thaiguides.com

Problem solved.

Thanks.
