Hello, all:
I’m having some trouble with a subdomain issue. The client has the following folder structure:
clientfolder/domain.com
clientfolder/test.domain.com
What we’re trying to do is setup a completely new install of EE within test.domain.com. The idea is to build their new site in parallel to the current site and then when it’s ready, flip from the old to the new.
And so i uploaded all the pertinent files, verified file permissions as outlined in the user guide and changes the system path in index.php and admin.php. When i navigate to test.domain.com, I get the standard pre-installtion “Your config file does not appear to be formatted correctly.” message. When I go to admin.php, I get nothing but a blank screen. No error message, no code, no nothing when I view source.
I’m wondering if the host has something setup to prevent the installer from running. Or alternatively that they have the account configured in such a way that the system folder is inaccessible due to some conflict between the parent domain and the subdomain.
Is there an htaccess rule i would need to place in domain.com that would ensure that test.domain.com is treated as a completely separate domain?
