Hi Paul,

I went via cpanel - add on subdomain, "domain names that point to subdirectories". I added "thestraightpaisleys" in the domain name box, and "thestraightpaisleys.polestone.com/wordpress" in the directory box.

I got a series of errors which I didn't capture, though it did say something like "not allowed - deleting subdomain". Then the subdomain "thestraightpaisleys" got chopped. I couldn't browse to it.

I then went into "subdomains" in cpanel, and added "thestraightpaisleys.polestone.com" (which is how I'd setup the subdomain in the first place last week) - and I could then browse the subdomain.

I wasn't sure if it was because I recently moved my name servers from my old host to point to the C2 name servers. The change is still to propogate I think (as I can't ping www.the straightpaisleys.com).

More likely I have the wrong end of the stick and am trying to do something I don't understand - ie make visitors browsing to "www.thestraightpaisleys.com" actually arrive at "thestraightpaisleys.polestone.com/wordpress".

Graeme
