mowax Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks vekia, that sounds good. I'll do some tests and see how I get on. I have another problem which is a bit harder to explain, especially if not familiar with wordpress. I currently have a wordpress multisite installation in the root of the new domain, and lots of network sites on separate domains that run of that wordpress installation. The wordpress files have to be in the root of my new domain for the other websites to work (because my new domain is the primary domain on my hosting account), but I don't want the wordpress installation to be visible in the new domain, just prestashop. So I am thinking that I can just install prestashop in the root of the new domain, where all the wordpress files are hosted, and replace the wordpress index file with the prestashop index file, so that prestashop will load instead of wordpress. Does that sound like a good idea? Edit: Ok thanks Usman, I will try this as well. Edited April 21, 2013 by duratex (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowax Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 That might work, how would I point the domain to a sub-directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 You problably can do this in your webhosting control panel. What control panel you've got in your webhosting service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowax Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 i think i found it, in addon domains > Manage redirection ? so do I just put www.newdomain/prestashop (without the trailing / ) in the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 hello i've found interesting topic related to your question: http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/how-do-i-point-domain-sub-directory-5602.html question: Sorry guys, Just wanted to ask you for another favor.. How do I go about pointing a domain name to a sub-directory or sub-domain? Also, how would I re-direct mails to the sub-domain or sub-directory? THANKS! answer: You can just park the domain on top of the subdomain. This can be done in WHM. I\'m not sure if mail will still work though. Fastest way to do it is to 1. go to WHM, click on SETUP DOMAIN FORWARDING it will say The domain forwarder is currently using the ip address YOUR_IP_HERE. All domain that you want to be forwarded should be pointing at this ip. 2. Add a dns zone for the domain you want forwarded with tie ip above 3. go back to Domain Forwarding and in the redirection map setup www.www-newdomain.net ---> http://primarydomain.com/directory/ www-newdomain.net ---> http://primarydomain.com/directory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowax Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 That thread is from 2001, I would guess that cpanel interface has changed quite a bit since then? They are talking about WebHost Manager and I'm pretty sure I don't have access to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
