Thanks alot for the explanation infact i was trying to make a sub-dir at first , not a subdomain , but since lee's first message , i tried once again with subdomain .
i created the domains but , as am using dreamhost it asks if the dir am creating, what is name ? for ic.aradoctors.com should i make the dir : ic.aradoctors.com or should i add the root directory of the Habari's install ?!! one more thing : after i added the config.php file to thedir , i should change the prefix of the DB for each site right ? am trying to add the subdomain's way now . thanks alot On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 12:58 PM, rick c <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I went to the site www.aradoctors.com.
