on-rev server question

[Björnke von Gierke]

yes an add-on domain must be a full, valid domain. a sub domain is just added to any full, valid domain:

subdomain.validdomain.ending
child.parent.topleveldomain

to not see an apache site as your homepage, you must make your own site by creating an index file at the right location.

BUT THEN, the cPanel wanted the Document root folder to be public_html/somename.com instead of just public_html/somename -- So I took off the .com in the Document Root field. Everything took and now I am waiting.
