[...] wanted to test it out before changing the DNS entries.
I created a sub-domain "troz.troz.on-rev.com" so I could migrate my
site & test it, before changing it to an AddOn domain and altering the
DNS.
So the question was quite precise .... how do you "change a sub-domain to
an AddOn domain" ?
I haven't got to that stage yet, but I assume that when I make an
Add-On domain, I can tell it to use the folder that contains my
sub-domain.
I think you can; it certainly seems to allow that, but I get an error
message, and the addon domain is not configured, so I can't tell for
sure. (But then, I get pretty much the same error just trying to create
an addon domain with its own folder).
What I get is:
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs:
208.96.10.221,66.33.206.206,66.33.216.216 Sorry, the domain is already
pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers
associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this
servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its
nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on
that remote nameserver.
and cPanel says that the addon domain was not created. I could kind of
understand the DNS warning, so if cPanel said the domain had been
created, I would have thought it was just a question of going ahead with
the transfer, but for now cPanel insists that no addon domains have been
configured.
If not, then it will get it's own folder and I will just transfer all
my files from the test sub-domain to the new Add-On domain folder.
I plan to make a complete backup before I try any of this :-)
A backup isn't the problem :-). The problem is that if I transfer the
domain, and it turns out that cPanel is correct that the domain hasn't
been set up, then it will just stop working for my current users. I'll
have all the files - but they won't be reachable.
