Changing domain name

I have created my website in a new folder in my CPanel account.  I access it from caddinfo.com/photo-now-backlight for testing and modifying

I would like to now go live with the website, using photographsnow.com to access it.  I have set the domain to "point to" caddinfo.com/photo-now-backlight.  However, when I try the domain name (photographsnow.com), I get the main page, but the address for any selection that I make is photographsnow.com/photo-now-backlight/galleries/, and I get a 404 error, as the internal addresses within Backlight are caddinfo.com/photo-now-backlight/... .

Is there any way to correct this?

On a related note, I also have some domains that are intended to go to specific Album Set pages.  For example, I have rt-66.com which I would like to go to http://caddinfo.com/photo-now-backlight … 3-route-66.  I can get to that album set, but all images are missing, and selecting an Album produces a 404 error as it is trying to get to rt-66.com/galleries/003-route-66/ ... which does not exist.

Is there a way to force backlight to initialize from an Album Set page?

Thanks

Re: Changing domain name

It seems like you are pointing several domains to the same Backlight installation. AFAIK, this doesn't work.

Each domain needs its own installation. But you can put a redirect (either html, php, htaccess) in the root directory of your secondary domains (eg, rt-66.com) and point it to the target location (eg http://caddinfo.com/photo-now-backlight … route-66/). This way one installation works for all.

Re: Changing domain name

Is it possible to have it point to a page in the site or just the home page?

Also, how do I put this in htaccess  or html or php?

You can do either. Just google it and you will find several options.
