Problem with forms on subweb!

M

Marky

I've set up a form inside a subweb, and it's working fine when it's accessed by it's original URLs (i.e. "http://subweb.domain.com/form.html" or "http://www.domain.com/subweb/form.html"). But, there is a problem when it's accessed by the domain pointer (http://www.domainpointer.com/form.html) which is pointed to the original URL(http://www.domain.com/subweb/form.html). The form will display but when I hit the submit, I get an error which say contact the admin. However the rest of the content on my subweb (including .php) work fine from all URLs
I was wondering if there is a solution to this problem?

Is the second domain on the same DNS server and has it also been setup to point to the same web
space on the server hosting the main domain, by the web host?

Yes, Both domains use the same DNS & server & webspace.
As I explained, www.domain.com is the main domain and
www.domainpointer.com is the add-on domain that is
pointing to my subweb where the form is.
www.domainpointer.com >>> subweb.domain.com
or
www.domainpointer.com >>> www.domain.com/subweb
Thanks a lot for the help.

Have you contacted your host regarding this, as it most likely has to do with how they have the
extensions configured?

I host all of my sites on Windows servers, and have had no problem with FP forms working in subwebs
accessed by unique domain names. However from FP the sites are never accessed via their domain
names, they are always accessed as http://www.maindomain.com/subwebname
