cant access subdomains

[ultimategp1]

hi i created a subdomain but when i access it i get the following error

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2 Server at st.sitename.com Port 80

how can i fix this? thanks!

Is there any .htaccess file in parent or this directories?

[ultimategp1]

no there is no .htaccess file in the subdomain, but there is in the main domain yes

[proHSP]

Note that of main domain htaccess also operates for subdomain; typically, if you use mod_rewrite in htaccess of your main domain, you need just put into subdomain's htaccess:
RewriteEngine Off

where can i find the .htaccess for the main account? in the cgi-bin? so just to clear things out. When i access the main domains .htaccess i look for subdomain somewhere in there and turn off mod_rewrite for subdomain only?

Is there any index.html file? directory listing is disabled by default and if you
dont have an index.html, index.php, index.htm you get a forbidden msg.

[ultimategp1]

yea there is a index.html file but i still get the error :(

Create a new .htaccess file in the subdomain directory, and then in that file put (only):

RewriteEngine Off

Check your domain error log that is in /var/log/httpd/domains.

[ultimategp1]

hey this is the error i see

[Tue Jul 22 11:16:03 2008] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost' does NOT match server name!?
[Tue Jul 22 11:16:04 2008] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost' does NOT match server name!?

[nobaloney]

These are warnings; not errors. They shouldn't affect anything.

in case someone had/has/will have same problem.

the problem is that public_html/.htaccess overrides everything in subfolders thus in this case subdomains too.

so you need to make changes to public_html/.htaccess in order for subdomains to work properly.

the modification is needed only when rewriteEngine is being used.


or you can change the default subdomain dir by separating it from public_html.
