Domain hosting settings

[#1]

Help - i am trying to add a www website to my existing webspace - i already have one hosted and working fine
Im told i will need a new directory to aim the 2nd one at.
Under domain names there is a box called domain hosting settings - default and other
I have ticked default and have entered htdocs2 with no slashes in the directory box - my other www is under htdocs
Am i doing the right thing - so far i cannot upload to this directory (unable to create remote folder message)
Im using FTP and dreamweaver
Any advice greatly appreciated
thanks

Your existing domain should have been pointed at a sub-folder under htdocs. Create a new folder and copy all the website to the folder, then go in to the domain settings and point the domain at the folder - that way you can avoid downtime.
Now create another directory under htdocs for the new domain. Finally point the new domain at the new directory.

thanks - working now
Cant help thinking that the plus help on this is unclear for complete novices
i mean an idiots guide with images of htdocs, sub folders etc.
thanks anyway

How long ago did you change your domain settings? - they take a little while to update (some hours). That's why I said copy to cover the update delay.

Hi there,
I've just had a quick peek at your domain settings and it looks like the domains are pointing at incorrect folders. You don't need to put the htdocs folder name in aswell, simply the name of the folder you have created. Currently you have //htdocs/domainone, change this to domainone, wait a few hours for DNS to update and bingo, it should work.

thanks - will do as you say and wait a few hours
