Mint Forum

I installed mint in the subdirectory /mint and everything works fine. It monitors the activity of mydomain.com all right. Now I want to use mint from the subdomain mint.mydomain.com, of course without moving mint from its location (mint.mydomain.com is already associated with subdirectory /mint) and still monitoring the same website mydomain.com.

So I did, and changed the ‘mint location’ in the preferences accordingly, but mint doesn’t work: it show the stats but doesn’t build the charts and when coming out of the preferences everything is messed up because I am regularly sent to mint.mydomain.com/mint, which doesn’t exists obviously, instead of mint.mydomain.com as indicated in the preferences.

So what i am doing wrong and how can I get this to work? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

no solution so far… I went back using mint in the subdirectory unfortunately.

No SDJL, I hadn’t. Since Mint hasn’t actually moved from its location…

But now I did. I set mint.mydomain.com again in the preferences (not that it ever made any difference what was written there) and went to mydomain.com/mint/?moved. It cheerfully said that everything was successful — and then everything was just-like-before.

I am starting to doubt the eye candy…

I AM STUPID.

suddenly the word ‘.htaccess’ hit my mind.

OF COURSE the problem with the pictures was a hotlink protection problem.

Once I made sure that the hotlink protection exception included any mydomain.com subdomain, things worked out fine.

Sorry about the fuss. Hope this thread can be useful to other absent-minded fellows like me out there.
