    Guys Hi

    I have been able to do some subdomains for my site. I am running joomla and have created subfolders inside the web folder for the site to accomodate subdomains for example my site is mptxxxxx.com and i have xxxxxx1.mptxxxx.com as a sub domain. So i have created a sub folder in the web folder with the name xxxxxx1 and installed uploaded joomla files to it. so how do i point xxxxxx1.mptxxxx.com to that particular folder. If i try using redirect i get mptxxxx.com/xxxxxx1 yet its supposed to remain as xxxxxx1.mptxxxx.com

    Any help

    The recommended wway is to create a new website for this subdomain and not use subfolder.

    If you want to use the subfiolder, you can not use .htaccess files for this joomla installation.

    Error message with webmail

    Error opening ../data/default_pref
    Could not create initial preference file!
    /srv/mpt.com/web/webmail/data/ should be writable by user wwwrun
    Please contact your system administrator and report this error.


    File permission is set to 777

    Ok i have done what u had suggested earlier as in configuring them as separate sites. my problem now is that when i type http://xxxxxx1.mptxxxx.com it takes me to http://www.mptxxxx.com. What am i doing wrong. I have even entered the apache directives for xxxxxx1.mptxxxx.com

    drwxrwxrwx 2 web12 client5 4096 Aug 20 15:38 .
    drwxr-xr-x 18 web12 client5 4096 Aug 25 14:18 ..
