Eqilux Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Does anyone have a problem creating sub-domains as well? Because when I create subdomains, they just take me to a page with related links. I think there needs to be a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyNet Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I assume you have looked in the section outside of your htdocs folder in the root directory of your FTP files, since this is where your folders for the domains you have created will be. In this graphic I have my " htdocs " folder underlined and three subdomains in red squares, this is where they will be. You will upload in these. I know you might know this but some do not, especially if they are new to hosting their own sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I think you are saying that when you create a subdomain you are just getting a page? Can you provide a link to that page if possible so we can see it? If I can see it I might know what it is, I have used iFastNet an Byethost for some years now and so I might have seen what you are talking about.

SpeedyNet Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Ok it looks like a starter landing page, but something is wrong with it, it is not completely loading and then redirects to a legacy url. The host manager needs to fix that. You should log into your folder for that subdomain and in its htdocs (for forum.5starhosting.cf ) you will see a file such as index.php or index2.php of index.htm (I forget if its html or php) and delete that and then install your chosen forum software for that link. Ordinarily when you obtain a iFastNet or Byethost account and go to the site you see the following.

Eqilux Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I don't see any index2.php, which is the default file, so I'm just going to create a subdomain from registration form. Thanks for helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlucas Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) You should note, in addition to what the user "SpeedyNet" mentioned, that when creating a sub-domain, there may be a time delay of up to 48 hours for the DNS propagation to be completed, that is, it may only be temporary the error, soon Your sub-domain will start working. Another alternative would be to delete the subdomain and recreate it It happens to me sometimes. Edited February 18, 2017 by dlucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eqilux Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Alright, I'll wait 1-2 days. I'll come back soon with a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyNet Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I see something different now when I go to his page, its a page you get when do not get the domain name right that must have been what he was referring to, I have gotten these pages when I did not do my DNS account right. I would do as dlucas says which is to delete the subdomain and recreate it and start over. Of course it could just be a matter of the url as dlucas said not having yet propagated and so wait and if that was not the problem then try to recreate the subdomain.

Admin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 as 5starhosting.cf. is using cloudflare for its name servers, and no A records have been created in cloudflare for the subdomains, this will be the cause the problem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlucas Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 True, when using cloudflare, when creating subdomains, you must access the Cloudflare account and set the subdomain created in the DNS settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
