REST API not working in addon domain

Question

I am new to php and handling server side.

I have a domain "www.example.co.in". And another addon domain "www.example.com". I have created a new folder "www.example.com" at the root folder(public_html) of "www.example.co.in" cpanel hoisting.

public_html-> www.example.com

Now I have written an api in php fetch_data.php which looks like the below format:

<?php if(isset($_POST['test'])){ // db connection // retrieve data from database } else { echo("error") } ?>

Now if I put this file inside www.example.com i.e. public_html-> www.example.com -> fetch_data.php

isset($_POST['test']) is returning false.

And if I put the same file inside the root folder i.e. public_html-> fetch_data.php

I am able to fetch the data.

Note: I am using the same input.

URL: http://www.example.com/fetch_data.php <- isset not working

URL: http://www.example.co.in/fetch_data.php <- isset working

I am testing the above mentioned apis using the REST Easy extension of firefox. Rest Easy by nathan-osman

The actual path of my cpanel:

home/www.example.co.in/public_html/

And the addon domain:

home/www.example.co.in/public_html/www.example.com/

In Cpanel, www.example.com should be an add-on domain with a root directory specified. That root directory should be the subdirectory that you created and put your php file.. — Alan

@Alan yes, you are right. but I am using the same code, same input and pointing to the same db. I just change the url in order to access those php files. So, what might be the issue here? — OnePunchMan

from where you are accessing this and what is the response you are getting . Is it 404 ? — Aabir Hussain

I am getting the response, meaning it's returning whatever I have written in the else part. — OnePunchMan

Godaddy provides shared hosting where most of setup is already done. Apache setup is also done by hosting partner.

You need to set different document_root for different domains. Check Godaddy Documentation.

I think, you have chosen a single domain hosting plan and just parked an add-on domain. You should have multi domain hosting in order to host two or more domains in the same server. Since godaddy is a shared hosting service you don't have access to apache configuration files.

Instead check amazon aws micro instance which is free and you can play around a lot with it.
