Im currently installing umbraco on the root directory of the website. However I want the contents to be viewed when they access the draft.mysite.com url. I created a folder named draft and I added draft.mysite.com to the subdomain list of the website. I found a book on the umbraco website (http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/running-multiple-websites-on-one-umbraco-installation-(1)/setting-up-umbraco) I'm a little confused. Do i still need to install umbraco on the subdomain?
What will I do if I want the site to be view on its actual domain already? (www.mysite.com) Do I just delete the manage hostname item that I added.
Thanks I'll try that one. I currently installed umbraco using mySQL as its database. However im having problems, when I access the root site it gives me the nonodes.aspx page although I installed the RUNWAY package already. I tried to install it locally and it is working fine with mySQL and MSSQL.
I added the subdomain that I created at the "Manage Hostnames" area, however it doesn't work for me. When I try to go to subdomain.mysite.com it doesn't show anything it just says that The website declined to show this webpage on IE.
I have umbraco on our hosting provider. I installed umbraco on www.mysite.com then I created a subdomain draft.mysite.com and right clicked on the runway folder on the umbraco control panel and added draft.mysite.com on the manage hostname area.
It still doesn't work. We're you able to make this work online?
What i did on the server where I have installed Umbraco is that on IIS7.0 is that on IISManager I have created a site and for that site I created one binding for each subsite (I have a main site for Umbraco and on umbraco we have a lot of sites running). We are also running MySql as database. Have you checked with your provider so that your rights are enough? for each folder or just where Umbraco resides?
On some hosting solutions, if you create a subdomain it creates a separate root for it and points the subdomain to that root. This will keep your main umbraco install from knowing about it. Try this instead. If your host has the ability to add domain aliases to your site, add your subdomain as a domain alias instead of as a subdomain. This will point it to the same folder structure as your main site and Umbraco can handle managing the host names from there.
www.draft.mysite.com is a fine subdomain if that is what you want. I assume that your host is forcing the www.draft.mysite.com instead of allowing draft.mysite.com? Does draft.mysite.com get you to your content? There are a couple of ways to work-around this if it doesn't.
Umbraco on sub domain
Hi,
Im currently installing umbraco on the root directory of the website. However I want the contents to be viewed when they access the draft.mysite.com url. I created a folder named draft and I added draft.mysite.com to the subdomain list of the website. I found a book on the umbraco website (http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/running-multiple-websites-on-one-umbraco-installation-(1)/setting-up-umbraco) I'm a little confused. Do i still need to install umbraco on the subdomain?
What will I do if I want the site to be view on its actual domain already? (www.mysite.com) Do I just delete the manage hostname item that I added.
Thank you.

Hello curlybub!
If you rightclick on your site´s root node in the content section and choose
"manage hostnames" and fill in the url to the domain and your language, maybee that will do it.
And i dont think it will be necessary to install Umbraco on the subdomain also.

Hi Bjorn,
I added the subdomain that I created at the "Manage Hostnames" area, however it doesn't work for me. When I try to go to subdomain.mysite.com it doesn't show anything it just says that The website declined to show this webpage on IE.
Thank you.

Hi curlybub!
Do you have Umbraco installed as localhost ? In that case have you tried to add the full URL to the domain in the host-file on your computer?

Hi,
I have umbraco on our hosting provider. I installed umbraco on www.mysite.com then I created a subdomain draft.mysite.com and right clicked on the runway folder on the umbraco control panel and added draft.mysite.com on the manage hostname area.
It still doesn't work. We're you able to make this work online?

Hi Bjorn,
I cannot play with the IIS manager since we are only on a shared hosting. The umbraco website is in full trust. For the binding in IIS Manager are you referring to http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/running-multiple-websites-on-one-umbraco-installation-(1)/setting-up-iis.
Thank you.

Hi webangelo,
If I add the subdomain as a domain alias then it will be www.draft.mysite.com is this OK?
Hi curlybub!
Yes it was exactly what I suggested.

www.draft.mysite.com is a fine subdomain if that is what you want. I assume that your host is forcing the www.draft.mysite.com instead of allowing draft.mysite.com? Does draft.mysite.com get you to your content? There are a couple of ways to work-around this if it doesn't.
Works like a breeze now. Thanks webangelo! ;D
