I have two domains registered with plus.net. However they both show the same thing if I type them in to a browser independantly. It's like a re-direct, but I dont remember setting anything like that up.
Can someone tell me how I can get www.mydomain1.com showing site 1 and www.mydomain2.com showing site 2
Also, site 2 uses php file extensions (i.e. index.php, contact.php) is this going to work ok?
Thanks

Edit: Just realised that you are talking about ccgi.

php files can only work on the ccgi (which you need to enable on your account via the member centre page -> website settings -> ccgi) and you probably want MySQL as well so activate that from the same place.
Your www webspace has an htdocs directory when you put your html files. Your ccgi webspace has no sub-directories, where you FTP to is your root or home directory.
You can configure separate directories on your www webspace and point separate domains to each via the domain name section on the member centre page.
You cannot easily have 2 domains in separate directories on the ccgi webspace but it is possible with .htaccess. See the link given above by Jelv on how to do this.
Its confusing but that is how things are.

Still a tad confused. I have activated CGI from the webspace link. I am using filezilla FTP program
When I use ftp.plus.net I can see my htdocs folder for domain1
When I use ccgi.plus.net with the same username and password it times out.
Whats wrong?

You have to wait for the ccgi activation email (as the activation page stated). This can take several hours to arrive and only then will it be accessible.
Note: the ccgi and www use completely separate web servers and file spaces. You cannot access files on one from the other.

I take it they do email the email in my preference settings?

Are you trying to connect to the ccgi.plus.net server through a different ISP (eg when you're at work) as it can only be accessed from a plusnet IP address (such as at home).

However Chris, thanks for the reply, perhaps you can help me further.
I activated CGI and now my main site www.domain1.co.uk no longer works.
So, I've deactivated CGI and it still doesn't work.
Can you help?
