Thread: addon domain and subfolders

addon domain and subfolders

am setting up a 2nd website as a subfolder of the 1st site. The domain name of the 2nd site is from another company.. I have changed the nameservers of the 2nd domain to point to the 1st domains name servers..

I now have a fresh wordpress install of the 2nd site in the subfolder.

Under wordpress admin: General Settings: I set up as follows:

WordPress Address (URL): 1stdomain.com/subfolder
Site Address (URL): 2nddomain.com.

When i test the site (2nddomain.com). it works well BUT as soon as I click on another link: example: 2nddomain.com/addnew (Post an ad), I get an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR:


Currently: my permalink:


And my htaccess file inside: 1stdomain/subfolder is:



# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ads/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /ads/index.php [L]
</IfModule>


# END WordPress




I have a feeling its something to do with my PERMALINKS and HTACCESS FILES... there could be more reasons.. please help..


********UPDATE********

When i changed my htaccess file to:



# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>




# END WordPress


The other links word BUT when I go to the Post an Ad page (2nddomain.com/addnew), after selecting the category, the GO button does NOT appear.. hence I cannot post.. please help.. i think im getting close to getting this site done..
