Help Me Please

[trouble]

Hi, I am new to Hostmonster.
1. Where do I define a new user account, not email, but an additional account to use control panel and ssh?

2. How do I point my primary domain to a subfolder of public_html. I would like to keep my domains in their own directories as opposed to having the primary's files in public_html.

3. If I don't yet have a favicon how do I disable the HM one?

Thanks much...

Can't. You can only have one cpanel login per account
Add this to your .htaccess file and create a sub-folder for the domain.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?maindomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maindomain/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maindomain/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?maindomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ maindomain/index.html [L]
You can't simply disable it. You will have to create your own or a blank one. Please search the forum for favicon.

Well, RDM took care of the two I couldn't give a definitive answer on, so I'll answer the 3rd.

The HM favicon cannot be disabled. It's automatically placed on your account to eliminate 404 errors in the global access logs. You can replace it with your own icon, or you can create a redirect in your .htaccess file so it will not be shown. Here is the code to redirect the favicon with .htaccess:


Redirect 404 /favicon.ico
<Files favicon.ico>
ErrorDocument 404 "No icon.
</Files>
