I hope that this will be my final question for today.
I moved one of my websites from being a subdomain under www.jhonlinenet.com to having its own domain - assetsc21.info. The files that the subdomain used are still in the folder inside the jhonlinenet.com installation, and I can still access the subdomain using www.jhonlinenet.com/assetsc21 .
Now if I use www.assetsc21.info , the website comes up as it should. Woohoo, Joomlapack worked for me!
But if I use assetsc21.info , the website that comes up is the one that uses the www.jhonlinenet.com domain name - I don't want that to happen.
Question 1: Why is that so?
Question 2: Should I delete the files from the subdomain folder?

could be something in your .htaccess, still pointing to that address that's wrong by now? redirects?
or stuff like:RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.jhonlinenet\.com$always rename first and wait or test before deleting.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.jhonlinenet.com/$1 [L,R=301]

My .htaccess is below. What might I change that would help?
# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName assetsc21.info
AuthUserFile /home/assets/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/assets/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

Unfortunately i can't tell you what might help there 'cause I've never seen such .htaccess (seems to me it's only about user permissions), I was talking about the .htaccess in your servers root or the root folder of your joomla installation. Always thought it
must be looking like this:This attachment is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.This is the default .htaccess that comes along with joomla.

- That file in my previous posting is the .htaccess file. There is also a htaccess.txt file in the same folder - in the root folder of the Joomla installation. That txt file looks like yours above. Is there something that I am not doing with the txt file?

With my naked, untrained eye, I see no difference.
However, I always use this in my htaccess, which should solve the problem (if it still exists); drop this in right after the "RewriteEngine On" line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
So if someone types in yoursite.com, they will be redirected to the www.yoursite.com

- Thanks very much for your help, both of you. I'll get onto it today.

ok, no warranty for whatever happens and copy your .htaccess and store it elsewhere
then put into your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.assetsc21.info\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.assetsc21.info/$1 [L,R=301]
that should do the trick
edit: uups, just saw Terp earlier posting some lines of code too, they are slightly different to mine, try his ones first 'cause he's "Elite Rocketeer" :cheesy: what I posted is working well for me on my server.
