[Mediawiki-l] Subdomain for a forum in a MediaWiki install

[beachboy22 at verizon.net]

I talked to my hosting provider (siteground.com) and they instructed me to do the following.

1. Go to cPanel and create the forum.mywiki.com subdomain
    This made a "forum" folder in my "public_html" directory
2. Install phpBB2 using Fantastico onto this subdomain
    When it asked for the install location I selected forum/phpBB

I followed these instructions and they worked. It said to view the forum go to forum.mywiki.com/phpBB


I followed this link and received the following error message:
Not FoundThe requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.


Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Apache/1.3.37 Server at forum.mywiki.com Port 80


Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks!

Philip B

Using cPanel I set this sub-domain up. cPanel created me a "forum" directory in my "public_html" folder in my server ("public_html" is the same folder that my Wiki is in). I created a quick "index.html" file in the "forum" folder to test this out. When I go to "forum.mywiki.com/index.html" I get  a 404 "Not found" error. I am positive "index.html" exists in this directory.

You'll have to talk to your hosting provider about how their subdomains
work.
