Add on domains in A2hosting, and Dreamweaver

I signed up for A2 hosting using the 43folders coupon (I hope someone was able to have lunch on the commission;), and am wanting to set up an add on domain. This is where my first domain is:

/public_html/ = domain1.com

and

/public_html/domain2/ = domain2.com

i.e., both in the same file structure, but they appear as two separate domains.

I use Dreamweaver and already have domain1.com's site root set to:

/public_html/

where

/public_html/index.htm

is my home page. If I add this 2nd domain, from a file system perspective, it will be a part of domain1's file system. I'm told I can cloak directories so that domain2 won't get uploaded to domain1, but in terms of global search and replace, etc., it still seems wonky. Have other people here used add on domains and who use Dreamweaver, and if so, how do they structure things? One idea is to embed domain1 into

/public_html/domain1/

and then presumably A2 can make that the root. I asked A2, but they said they couldn't answer Dreamweaver questions. Thanks.

Bob

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
