Newb Needs Help - Godaddy & Surpass

Dazed · July 29th, 2004, 6:35 PM

OK so I had issues with my .nl domain and finally gave up. I just got two new domains through godaddy.com a few days ago. The accounts are now active.

My question is now I obviously want to host them on my surpass account. I sent an email last night to Surpass to see what, if anything, they need to do on their side to host my two new domains. When I log into my cpanel (Deluxe Account) I see the Welcome message with my .nl domain. Is there somewhere I can change that to my new .com account?

I changed the nameservers on godaddy to NS100.DIZINC.COM and NS101.DIZINC.COM that was in my Surpass welcome email. I have nothing in the Domain Host Summary. Not sure if I need any entries there.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks for the help!

If you are shared hosting, and your plan supports PARKED or ADDON domains, you can do this.

Search for my name and parked or addon - you'll see that I've posted several descriptions of how this all works.

BigJohn, most appreciative! Worked like a charm

Now if I can bother you or anyone else for that matter for one more issue. I am having an issue with the image folder. I have uploaded some jpg's there but when adding links on my index file they do not work. I have tried a variety of different paths with no luck. I also saw some posts on here with the same issue but no resolution.

examples of what I have tried....

<img src="/images/522.jpg">
<img src="/home/user_name/public_htm/images/file.jpg">

and a few other variants!

What am I missing?

thats gonna depend on how you're directory structure is.

If you have website=public_html
and
images = public_html/images

then "/images/filename.jpg" should work.

If you're calling the images from a CSS file in another directory (public_html/css), then you have to 'root' your call like "../images/filename.jpg"

One thing - MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CASE IS EXACT. If you have an image name "Junior.JPG", case matters. That file is different than "junior.JPG" or "Junior.jpg" or "JuNiOr.JpG"

Thanks for the help BigJohn. I guess I am going to have to keep playing with it because that is still not working :grrr: :grrr: !!!

I have both domains working properly now so again thanks for the help!

post a link, or a snip of your code.

Here is a quick one I did to add an *.swf file and a jpg. You can see there is also an image source there.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">

If I recall correctly, you do not need the forward slash in front of your images folder. And I don't use it on any of my sites that link to images just fine (double checked before giving bad advice *G*)

So <img src="images/picture.jpg"> would be more correct... but I'll spare you the lecture of making code XHTML compliant

That worked. Thanks to both of you for your help
