on-rev server question

Sat Nov 27 10:39:17 EST 2010

Bjornke,

Thanks.  I did create an index.html file in the sub domain folder and when I point to it in a browser it automatically changes and goes to a  deadinktattoos.lazyriver.on-rev.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi 
it does not point to deadinktattoos.lazyriver.on-rev.com/index.html like I would think it should.

I checked my other subdomains and they have their own index.html at the same relative place so the only thing that is different is that I created the addon domain in cpanel for this site. 

Any Help?

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.
