I have a Joomla 1.5 site published on http://domain.com/subdomain. Now I have added a subdomain using the host provider (Yahoo Small Business) that points to the subdomain folder:
subdomain.domain.com points to domain.com/subdomain
domain.com/subdomain works fine, but when I go to subdomain.domain.com, only the menu shows (but not formatted) on a black background. When I click an item it goes to http://subdomain.domain.com/subdomain/index.php/clicked-item and gives me a 404 error. ([Edit 1] Shouldn’t it be something like http://subdomain.domain.com/index.php/clicked-item? When I manually enter http://subdomain.domain.com/index.php/clicked-item again I’m welcomed with a 404.)
Any help will be highly appreciated.
[Edit 2]
I’ve deactivated Search Engine Friendly URLs and this is the behavior now:
- still when I go to subdomain.domain.com, only the menu shows (but not formatted) on a black background;
- still when I click an item it goes to http://subdomain.domain.com/subdomain/index.php/clicked-item-and-stuff and gives me a 404 error;
- but when I manually enter http://subdomain.domain.com/index.php/clicked-item-and-stuff it shows me the requested page, but without any formatting.
[Edit 3]
Please have in mind that I’m using Yahoo Small Business which doesn’t allow .htaccess.
Until I find a proper solution, I’m just using a hack: subdomain.domain.com points to domain.com/another-subdomain which redirects to domain.com/subdomain where Joomla is installed.
Check your configuration.php file in your root to ensure the live_site parameter is set to your correct base url e.g. subdomain.domain.com
