on-rev server question

[Tim Selander]

What the cPanel wanted -- public_html/somename.com -- is correct. 
What you put in that folder (index.html, etc.) will become the 
website for somename.com

When a user types www.somename.com into their browser, the Name 
Servers will send the request to the on-rev server, which will 
then _automatically_ serve the pages in the somename.com folder 
that cPanel created.

The situation you have now will not work. Requests for 
www.somename.com will go to on-rev, on-rev will find no folder 
called somename.com, so nothing will happen.

Re-name your public_html/somename folder back to 
public_html/somename.com and it will work.

was not valid until I added the .com to the end. So somename is 
invalid but somename.com was

acceptable. 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.
