Missing Images were using an add-on domain to point to a subdirectory

[kuroi]

I have a site that I have built in a subdirectory of my hosting space for a client. She has puchased a domain name and I have pointed the nameservers to my server and created an add-on domain to point the URL to the subdirectory.

The problem is that when I try to access the site using the new URL directly i.e. www.new_url.com, the images don't display. When I use the full pathname i.e. www.main_url.com/sub_directory everything works perfectly.

To try to isolate the problem, I have gone right back to a clean install and the problem occurs from the first screen of the installation process, so that rules out the database, as I haven't yet told the CMS where it is, and the config file, since it hasn't yet been created.

HAs anybody else tripped over this problem, and better still resolved it?

hey..

My guess would be that the base tag is wrong. Try check if the base tag withing the head section says www.mail_url.com/sub_dir when you're are browsing the site through www.new_url.com.
