Which one's the root folder

[bounce2us]

Okay, when I login to my ftp server on my host account, I have files and directory listing (also includes an htaccess file) but this directory is not accessible by people. Within that directory I have a public_html folder, this is where my webpage files, such as my index.html is stored. It also has a htaccess file in it as well. I have the redirection script installed in the public_html folder, where people may use it. And It works well accept for the redirection does not work. I contacted my webhost and they configured the server for wildcards. My question is what should the htaccess text say. I do not believe that this is a wildcard issue. What should my htaccess file text say after registering a domain or does it change at all from the initial file included with the download?

Test
Http://test.bounce2.us should goto http://www.msn.com

the public_html is your root folder.

the .htaccess file does not change all information about subdomain redirection is wrote to the mysql database.

Okay, so when someone says anything should point to my root folder suchas, http://zzzzzz.bounce2.us, what should open when I visit this link? My homepage or an error page?

if you have index.php and .htaccess in public_html folder and some one types www.any_old_thing.bounce2.us it will load your default page up.

if you dont see that you havnt got wildcard dns set up right

http://www.dshkgkhdgh.sg5.co.uk/ will load main page
