I developed my first Drupal site on my main (root) domain. The site will be on accessed via a domain pointer from a subdirectory at http://example.com.
Today, I copied all the files to the subdirectory and setup a domain pointer to it. I also copied the original database and pointed settings.php to the new database.

If I go to http://example.com (the url of the pointed domain in the subdirectory), I can't log in.

I can, however, go to http://rootdomain.com/subdirectory/user and log in. That is the only way I can currently administer http://example.com.

Can anyone tell me where to look for settings to change that will separate these 2 domains and allow me to log in to http://example.com without having to go through http://rootdomain.com/subdirectory/user?

Thanks in advance.

This is a hosting account setup issue, not Drupal. Which hosting service are you using? There are various quirks in the subdomain pointer features of the various hosting services.

Hi and thanks very much for the reply.

I am using Site5. I picked them because they seem to have a good reputation here on the Drupal forum. Are you aware of issues with the Site5 subdomain pointer feature?

Thanks again.
