addon domain problem

    I wanted to install wordpress on an addon domain. The structure is:

    addondomain.com is the same as: originaldomain.com/addondomain

    I installed wordpress in the “addondomain” directory of “originaldomain.com” and it works perfectly.

    The problem is that when I try to access it via “addondomain.com” it directs me back to originaldomain.com/index.html

    However, if I redirect my addon domain to another directory w/ and index.html file, the addon domain will function perfectly.

    Could somebody help me out with this? I think it has to do with either the .htaccess file or the fact that wordpress’s index file is php, not html.

    Very lost at this point.

    Thanks

    WP “hates” all the redirect tricks. I have never seen one working with such a setup.
    Install it on the addondomain.com.

    I did, it seemed to be working fine. I changed the “blog address” on Options > General to addondomain.com and when i went to addondomain.com the index.php page worked fine.

    However, now all of the links are giving me “Internal Server Error”. I checked the error log and it says: “mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use ‘RewriteOptions MaxRedirects’ to increase the limit if neccessary.”

    I’m using godaddy. And I *don’t* have any wp-cache plugins installed.

    I FINALLY figured out my problem, which isn’t the same as yours but it might help somehow.

    I finally got it to work with no .htaccess or php coding. Just replace maindomain and addondomain with the your domain names.

    1) Log into the admin page at http://maindomain.com/addondomain/wp-admin

    2) Select Options tab > General sub-tab.

    3) Change WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) to: http://addondomain.com
