Multiple blogs with different domains on same account / FANTASTICO

    Hello

    I managed to load a wordpress blog to my host account and it
    has the same name as my MAIN Domain..

    so as an example it looks like this..

    so its https://www.maindomain.com/blog

    I also have a few other dormain names on my same host account,

    eg https://www.domain2.com …….. https://www.domain3.com etc

    I then tried to create a word press blog for another website dormain 2

    I managed it, BUT the 2nd new Domain didnt read as I want.

    It reads https://www.maindomain.com/domain2/blog

    My initial Main Dormain is in my public_html folder

    I also THOUGHT that I had to place my ADD ON 2nd and 3rd dormain names that I paid for and set up in the public_html folder.

    When I FPTd the blog I placed it in a new folder within my domain2 folder…. and I thought that I had done it ok so that it would read the blog as https://www.domain2.com/blog

    Can anyone advise me how I can set up other blogs in my host account and get them to read the dormain OK and NOT include the MAIN dormain in front of it…

    I am not sure IF maybe I should have placed my 2nd domain in another folder other than within public_html

    I also think that I now need to uninstall the blog in domain2

    Can any one explain how I do this.

    I also tried to do a 3rd domain using fantastico in c panel.

    BUT it didnt seem to allow me to place the files in one particular folder… some were in domain3 folder mixed with other files such as my domain3index.html NON BLOG files.

    I also wonder does using fantasico allow you to create a blog JUST with the Domain name you want and NOT to include the main domain in front of it.

    IF SO WHICH OPTION SHOULD I CHOOSE.

    on part 1 it says the following option.
    I had selected Install on domain. but I wonder if I had selected
    Install in directory that it may have missed of the main domain infront of the new domain.

    ———-

    Install on domain

    Install in directory

    Leave empty to install in the root directory of the domain (access example: https://domain/).
    Enter only the directory name to install in a directory (for https://domain/name/ enter name only). This directory SHOULD NOT exist, it will be automatically created!

    Many thks in advance.

    To make WordPress available at https://domain2.com just change in Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to https://domain2.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the wordpress folder)

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.

    Ugh. NOW, I can’t access the login page! This is what it says:

    The requested URL /wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at efficientwahm.com Port 80

    Darn, my fault, that index.php should be:

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    But the login is at domain2.com/wordpress/wp-login.php. You left the files in wordpress folder correct?

    Yes, I left the files in the wordpress folder.

    When I got to domain2.com/wordpress I get a basic text page, no styling, and then when I click on the login link the address bar says: https://domain2/wp-login.php. I typed /wordpress after domain2 and it takes me to the login page, but when I enter my login info, then I get that 404 error. It’s like I’m stuck in a loop. I don’t understand why it doesn’t add the /wordpress in the address bar?

    I am not good at setting up a website, so someone else did the structure for me, and I just add pages or posts and photos and I just carry on. But. I have also seperate blogs at this page for 7 other people. I have set them up as users, so that they don’t fiddle around with the other information and pages on the website.
    everything seems to work just fine, they have their own usernames & passwords and they can blog. BUT. What I dont understand is that they cannot check the boxes for comments to allow them of delete them. I must do that. Is there any way that they can take full control of their own comments, allowing or deleting this? And still don’t have access to my pages? If you can help, I will be grateful. Please. But explain it in very very simple terms for I am no boffin as you clever people in this.
    thanks, Marlise
