Evgeny Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 My account has recently been activated and I can log into cPanel and upload files via FTP. However, when I browse to it I see a directory listing - a completely different one to what I can see in my File Manager or FTP client. The URL is http://evgenypotashnik.com/ and the same happens for a sub-domain, http://doom.evgenypotashnik.com/

Ashoat Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 This is happening because instead of setting your NS records to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org, you set your CNAME record to heliohost.org.
Evgeny Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 This is happening because instead of setting your NS records to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org, you set your CNAME record to heliohost.org. Yes, I set the CNAME to stevie.heliohost.org. Didn't see any reason why that wouldn't work. I've changed the NS records now and that fixed it. Thanks!
Ashoat Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 You might want to read up on DNS records. CNAMEs are basically aliases for other domains, so what you did was you set up your domain as an alias for heliohost.org. As a result, you saw the directory listing for heliohost.org. Glad everything worked out!
