Hello all!

I recently moved my site over to bluehost (yeah! Love it!). I didn't move my domain over, though. It is currently on as an addon domain from my new "free" domain with BH. And the blog is in a subdomain..

I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing when I set up my subdomains here, so I originally created my subdomain and redirected it to the folder

ex:

blog.website.com
Document root: Home/public_html/website.com/
redirects to www.website.com/blog

When I realized how silly that was, I changed it to

blog.website.com
document root: Home/public_html/website.com/blog
with no redirection.

This was two days ago...

The "problem" is that when one types in blog.website.com it automatically redirects to www.website.com/blog. (even though the redirection is no longer there)

I deleted the subdomain and recreated it.. with no redirection.... and that didn't work.

I tried setting up new subdomains (the right way) and they are working correctly so I'm assuming this is because I had this redirect on there before.

Will this eventually resolve, or should I put in a ticket?

I hope like heck that this makes sense..

Thanks for any suggestions!

Subdomains don't work by going to http://sub.domain.com for about 4-6 hours after you create it.

If it still doesn't work after that, you either have the base URL in your database wrong or you have a redirect in one of your .htaccess files preventing it from doing so.
