Hi Raven,

Just seen that you have posted a response. I haven't absorbed all of that yet, but do accept that there may still be issues caused by my host's server switch as some of my users were complaining they couldn't reach the AIVuk site at all.

Also the following subdomain entries in my cPanel hosting may explain some of the issues:


I was trying two approaches because I am confused about how "Add-on domains" and "Subdomains" work in cPanel hosting.

Originally, I asked my host to add an SSL certificate just to the GregAfloat domain, but it seems they add it to the main hosting account and then all the add-on domains get covered by  the certificate. The part I don't fully understand is that when you generate an add-on domain in the control panel a sub-domain is also automatically generated.

So that's when  I decided to try getting the forum on the AIVuk site to run under https

To explain the difference between the two subdomain entries:
I was concerned that while, my GregAfloat site is largely structured in a set of sub-folders, and the blog folder only contains the page in which the blog is embedded, the AIVuk site has all pages in the root folder. I strongly suspect that entry should be changed to:
Document Root: /public_html/aivuk.org.uk
as I haven't yet copied the file in which the forum is embedded to the forum.aivuk.org.uk folder that has now appeared on the server. That also makes me wonder if the reason for the redirect taking place on GregAfloat occurs. I guess that I probably should move both the files in which the Nabble apps are embedded to their respective subdomain folders and the two document root should be:

/public_html/blog.gregafloat.org.uk
and
/public_html/forum.aivuk.org.uk

Hope this helps, once the DNS is sorted! I await your further guidance!
