public $live_site = ''; - issues

[imgjohn]

I have a site that I am subhosting:
my site reads: http://www.mysite.com/adc/

In the configuration file I enter in:
public $live_site = 'http://www.abcdefgh.com/';

BUT when I go to the site it shows:
http://www.abcdefgh.com/abc/

What is going on here?

I even tried just leaving: public $live_site = '';

But it doesnt work.

If you want replies, you need to provide more info.
What kind of server, how is your site configured? Versions / type of web server etc.
I suggest you use the FPA: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860

I have a site that I am subhosting:
my site reads: http://www.mysite.com/adc/

What does this mean? On your server? On your space on a shared server?
Is that the correct domain name and path that you want or the wrong one?

Godaddy server.

My main website: http://www.mysite.com

Then I created another site that is subhosted on my server.

I have a site that I am subhosting:
my site reads: http://www.mysite.com/adc/

So instead of: http://www.abcdefgh.com/
It shows: http://www.abcdefgh.com/abc/

Do you have activate rewrite page via .htaccess

if so the reason is simple
your .htaccess controls the rewriting of the urls for your site.
even if you have installed ANOTHER site in a subdirectory the .htaccess in the root site controls all url rewritings.

so you should modify your .htaccess to handle http//..../adc with different reqriting rules.

In Joomla 1.5 I never had this issue and only in Joomla 1.7 I have.

In Joomla 1.5 I never had this issue and only in Joomla 1.7 I have.

this is not a point
have you checked your .htaccess ?

[imgjohn]

what would I check on it?

But if your site is accessed from http://www.mysite.com/adc/, shouldn't the live path in the config also be something like that? (http://www.mysite.com/adc/)?

And also, might just be a typo, but you are showing us two diffrent paths:
http://www.mysite.com/adc/ with d
http://www.mysite.com/abc/ with b

A better way to do a "subhosting" is actually to create a subdomain. (www.abc.yoursite.com)
