Community Q&A:
Stats and Temporary URL for Addon Domain
I have created an addon domain. I put it in home/ rather than home/public_html/ because I read that this would create a more separate domain and allow me to view separate webalizer stats. However, I don't see the addon domain as an option when I open webalizer. Am I missing a step that would enable stats for the addon domain seperate from the main domain?
Also, I was under the impression that I could test my addon domain by using my temp url/addondomain.com. But when I go that address, I get a hub screen that just displays the server name and ip address.
The addon domain is a static html site (not wordpress or domain specific.) Is there another way I can check the site before I point the domain name? Is the fact that I put it in home/ rather than home/public_html/ the issue?
If anyone can help me out with some insight, I'd be much obliged.

Hello jbrown, I'm sorry you're having trouble with your Addon domain. Yes, the issue you are experiencing is due to the Addon domain being created above the public_html directory. It's not necessary to create it above public_html in order to view stats in Webalizer. When you go to the Webalizer area in cPanel you will have the option to select which domain you want to see stats for. Creating the Addon domain above public_html is also affecting the use of the temporary URL for testing. Since the part of temporary URL before addondomain.com goes to public_html directory, there's no way to view the Addon domain folder when it's above public_html. Once you have removed and recreated the Addon domain under public_html you shouldn't have any trouble using the Addon domain's temporary URL to view your site before pointing the domain to our Nameservers. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance. Regards, Christi N. |

I had the exact same problem. What you need to do is edit your computer's hosts file - there may be other ways but this was the simplest solution for me. I wrote the steps in detail here, hope this helps: http://www.michaelkwan.me/solved-access-sites-temporary-url-addon-domains/
