Add on domain redirects to primary domain

[xavibabi]

Im hosted by hostgator and I added my addon domain ftp info from cpanel over to filezilla, than copied files from wordpress over to my addon domain folder. So when I go to browser and type in my addondomain.com, my primarydomain.com come up. Even when I go to addondomain.com/wp-admin I get my primary admin. What am I doing wrong?

use domain forwarding.

Few thing you should know:

1. Make sure that addon domain folder contain actual name for your domain. Let's say 'test.com' is your domain, so correct path should be /public_html/test.com (but not: /public_html/test )

2. If it doesn't help you, then check .htaccess file

That wouldn't fix the problem. Cpanel default directories for addons never tag on the tld and if you change the name of the folder you WILL mess things up!

Sounds like a .htaccess problem.

make sure it's addon domain not parked.
parked does that not an addon domain.

on your add on domain upload an index.php
with content

<?php
echo file_get_contents("http://filezilla.com/address/");
?>

replace: http://filezilla.com/address/ with actual filezilla web address.
