I have a site up and running at test.animeigo.com on hotdrupal; works fine and dandy.

I now want to have a second subdomain securetest.animeigo.com that works identically to test.animeigo.com (except that eventually it will be https, of course).

So http://test.animeigo.com/products and http(s)://securetest.animeigo.com/products will display the same page, and so on.

I tried creating a securetest subdomain using cPanel and pointing it to the same directory as the test domain (or using a symlink), but this only partially works (under Firefox Mac)

1) the homepage works -- or it was. Now I don't get the css rendering properly, and jQuery errors. I tried a custom settings.php, but the problem persists after deleting it.

2) interior pages don't work (webhost default 404 page)

3) pages like ?q=user display the "Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server" page!

Even more bizarrely, under Safari Mac, all the pages generate the default 404 page!
So, what am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it? The Domain Access module, perhaps?

Have you tried the domain access module? http://drupal.org/project/domain

That was going to be my next step.

As it turns out, the problem was apparently a stale DNS cache on my laptop. As soon as I rebooted, all the issues disappeared; the site became available properly under both subdomains, and under https.

Kudos to the hotdrupal/holistic solutions tech support guys for their fast respons, for patiently working the problem, and for coming up with the correct solution ("hit your computer")
