Htaccess - Moving Site From Subdomain To New Domain
I have what I think is kind of a unique situation with a site move and Google is not turning up an answer that seems to work.
My site is currently in this format:
www.mydomain.com/site/file.html
And I am "moving" it but also switching from html to php, so the same file would be found at:
site.mydomain.com/file.php
I want to redirect users going to the old pages to their equivalent on the new site, however this is a little bit of a problem because this is a normal subdomain - it is the same directory as before but now there are php versions of the html files.
Right now I have all of the http files redirecting to their php equivilents, but I don't believe this is a desirable solution. Also it creates a problem when people go to www.mydomain.com/site (not indicating a specific file; just the subdir root) because I have www.mydomain.com/site/index.html redirecting to www.mydomain.com/site/index.php.
Quite a mess.
My first option is to put the redirects in the htaccess file on the "old" site. But is this a problem because there are over 500 pages on the site? Does it create a heavy server load because any requests force the server to serve a huge htaccess file?
The next alternative seems the most preferable although I'm not sure how to do it. It seems it could use wildcards so that anyone going to *.html gets directed to *.php or something like that. The only problem is that there are a small number of files that were removed completely and do not have php equivilants (about 5 or 6) and would need to redirect to the index.php in the root

Subdomain To Main Domain Moving
I have a domain name as per my sig. I am also creating a subdomain totally in contrast with that site below. My primary domain has one page on it so i would like to: a) delete the one page on my primary domain b) Make the contents of my subdomain my primary domain. e.g my domain is www.info-peep.com, my sub will be example.info-peep.com........i would like to make example.info-peep.com : www.info-peep.com......that make sense, as really the sub will be my main site. Basically wanting to transfer the contents of my sub to my primary. So when people click info-peep.com, it will be the sub's site. Another thing to note is that i am using RVsitebuilder (WYSIWYG) that my web host provides. Also BEAR IN MIND the WYSIWYG editor does not allow me to move pages (sucks) or to copy the page contents.

.htaccess - Redirect To A Subdomain
I wasn't able to just export and import so I had to manually recreate content. I used the same permalink structure in hopes that I "might" be able to do a re-direct. Just now sure if A)It is possible or B)How to do it. Example: OLD LINK: [url] NEW LINK: [url] Am I able to redirect all traffic that comes in and replace the "www.cgcookie.com/articles" with "cg.cgcookie.com"?

Moving All Data To A New Subdomain
I am using Wordpress on subdomain.example.com I want to move all the posts I have on that Wordpress site to: somewhereelse.example.com So basically changing a whole Wordpress blog from one subdomain to another subdomain on the same domain. I want to keep all posts I have. Could I simply back up the mySQL database and then upload it to the new subdomain? Will this work? I have some doubts as I don't know if the database it is linked to the domain name or not.

.htaccess From Old To New Site ...
I'm trying to learn htaccess, but I'm having issues wrapping my head around this. I need to learn by example. Have several types of 301 permanent redirects that are needed. Want to redirect a single page to a new page OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Want to redirect a folder, AND any pages in it (preferably without naming EACH page), to a new folder's index OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Want to redirect a subdomain to the primary domain OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Want to redirect a folder, AND any pages in it, to a new subdomain OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Using ISAPI_Rewrite 3 on 2003/IIS6, which uses htaccess commands. Could anybody here show me what they would do in these scenarios? I've read and read, and tried and tried, but it never seems to work out correctly. It either fails to redirect, or it redirects too much (some "open" type commands with a lot of variables will pick up the keyword -- for example, "students" -- so students.domain.com AND domain.com/students AND domain.com/program/students.html would all redirect, even though I only wanted the subdomain version, or the page version, to redirect, and not the others!).

.htaccess, Mobile Version Of Site
can i configure .htaccess to direct browsers to a different css file based upon their browser type? That's the short question. The longer question is: how do I set up my .htaccess file to call a different css file based on mobile browsers? All I want to do create a 2nd version of a css file so that my site's content, when viewed on a mobile browser, calls /mobi/style.css instead of /style.css. I have the rewritecond statement for all the mobile browsers, and in fact I presently direct all mobile browser traffic to a designated static webpage, which you can see at tastyplacement . com which directs to tastyplacement . com/mobi. But if I could simply call a different css file, I could have the pages load as they normally would but with a different css file and thus an entirely different look for the website (narrower columns, no header navigation, ie., a stripped down version of the site with the main text intact). Can it be done?

Trouble Moving A Site
We are in the process of changing web hosting companies and I am having difficulty in moving all the directories. We are a membership based company with over 8,900 members. The original web site (called Site a) has over 26,700 individual directories along with many tutorials in video format. The entire site is approximately 80 GB in size. When I had the second web hosting company try to move the site via tar they indicated that the tar would abort at about 4 GB every time. Is there any other way to move this site or get a complete backup of the site. I have no problem moving the MySQL databases.

Moved Site, Subdomain Still Pointing To Old
I just moved my site to point to a new server (changed nameservers) and everything is working fine but a subdomain. My subdomain links.example.com still points to old site when example.com points to the new site..... Should I delete that subdomain at the old host? Should I just be patient? Should I change nameservers for subdomain at old host? The subdomain is configured at the new host already.....

Moving Site From Linux To Windows
I have a customer who would like me to move his site from a linux box to windows. As we are all linux I'm not sure of any major implications this would have. He wants to move as he is starting some .NET dev and wants to keep it all on the same server. The linux box has a forum/blog type application (customer written). It was done in PHP and using MySQL. The windows server is a Windows 2003 server. As far as I know I'll have to install the entire windows OS, install all SP and updates. I will install IIS, .NET. The MySQL installation is pretty simple and the PHP will be run as a CGI under IIS. I am thinking of installing an anti virus/trjoan scanner but as there will be no mail server there I'm guessing it's not necessary. I'm pretty sure I will need a firewall as there is no iptables equivalent for windoes (is there??). Any suggestions on something cheap / fast / stable and good. If someobody can see anything I missed here PLEASE let me as it will be most appreciated. is the 4GB + problem still around with a windows server 32bit ? The box will have exactly 4GB of memory.

Moving Site: Ssh Advice
to move one of my sites from 1-st dedicated server to 2-nd dedicated server. Of course i have shell access on both servers. As site is huge one (60gb space and 99% of files in one folder) going to tar -czvf this folder and move it. or may be mput all files. the only problem that i have ... is, that i need SSH commands advice. if i type [mput *] i must keep window opened. but as u understand 60gb is can be transferred during ~10-15 hours. that's why need to know, is there any command that i must type (with mput *) and close window. So, don't be online all this time and/or keep shell window opened during this tranfer.

Domain/subdomain
Can I have a primary domain - www.sample.com - point to another primary domain - www.sample.asn.au - but then have the entry point for that domain be a subdomain - www.ccc.example.com? If the primary domain is parked somewhere else, doesn't it mean that all the subdomains will be too? Or do I use a 301 on the primary domain to the .asn.au site? But does that then redirect all the subdomains too?

Parking A Domain Under A Subdomain
I have 2 domains ie. red.com blue.com. They are both on seperate servers. I want red.com to be a subdomain for blue.com. I went ahead and created an A host for red.blue.com, I then created a virtualhost and everything is working, I can pull up red.blue.com and it pulls up the same data if I were to go to red.com. Here is my issue. I want to have red.com pull up red.blue.com by default so blue.com gets credit for traffic, I am moving red.com and moving it all into blue.com. Hopefully this makes sense. Also, I want to make sure nothing breaks my current search engine results.

Add-on Domain And Subdomain
Let's say my domain, for which I have shared hosting, is www.mydomain.com I have also registered the domain www.yourdomain.com My hosting has cPanel I add www.yourdomain.com as an add-on domain. Inside my root folder the folder /public_html/yourdomain/ is created. When I create the subdomain subdomain.yourdomain.com, the folder /public_html/subdomain/ is created instead of /public_html/yourdomain/subdomain/ Can I assign the /public_html/yourdomain/subdomain/ folder to be the root of subdomain.yourdomain.com? e.g. I have the file image.jpg at /public_html/yourdomain/subdomain/image.jpg and it's accessed from subdomain.yourdomain.com/image.jpg Is this possible? Having a lot of folders directly under /public_html/ would get annoying for me.

About My Website Moving And New Domain Name
I've purchased a forum, using a sub-domain name like bbs.mywebsite.com. All the files will be moved to my new dedicated server. I'd like to use a new domain name for it, like newname. com but still to not lose current memebers, still we want to keep bbs.mywebsite.com working as before. I have 5 IP availble and want to allocate one of them to the new domain name newname .com ================================================== ==== Now, question, what should I do, can some one give me instruction step by step please, to make 2 domains both bbs.mywebsite.com and newname. com working properly. don't want to use redirect. Now what I can think of is, add newname. com to my account, and change DNS to point to my nameserver, then copy the whole forum under new website. I dont know if this way is correct. Then I don't know how to link the original forum address to the new space.

Replicating Internal Redirect Behaviour For Redirecting To External Site In Htaccess
I have the following RewriteRule directive in my htaccess file on my localhost:- Code: RewriteRule ^([a-z-]+)/?$ test.aspx/app.nav/params.class.com${meta:$1}/whatever${meta:$1} The rewrite rule works perfectly, since the revised URL is still preserved when after it is executed; I presume this is since my old URL is relative, and it's performing an internal rewrite. However, when I make my old URL absolute (adding an external address to it), whenever I execute my new URL, I'm redirected to the external sites URL (which includes the same URL parameters as my internal 'test.aspx' page), like below:- Code: RewriteRule ^([a-z-]+)/?$ http://www.example.com/test.aspx/app.nav/params.class.com${meta:$1}/whatever${meta:$1} Purely for demo purposes, upon execution, I'd like my new URL to be preserved in the address bar whilst, I'm redirected to the external site. Is this possible to do - something like forcing the behaviour of an internal rewrite? EDIT: I've done some investigating and people with similar problems have suggested using the Passthrough handler - although I'm slightly unclear as to what this does exactly, I gave it a go (adding '[PT]') at the end of RewriteRule, but unfortunately this didn't make any difference. Is mod_proxy a possible solution?

However, I would like to add to this the ability to buy a domain name and point it to username.example.com so example.com/guestbook.html would translate to username.example.com/guestbook.html (external domain and associated user are mapped in the database) Do I need my own DNS server for this or is there a simpler solution?

Moving Domain To New Server - Imap?
We have a client who has a site currently hosted with some guys in germany. I cannot speak german, so am unable to chat to the support there, so thought I would ask here. We are wanting to move their site to new hosts, as we are re-developing it for them, and their current setup does not suit our needs. The only issue I am not too sure about is the following: They rely heavily on their email (what company doesnt nowadays?), and they currently have IMAP acounts. They use thunderbird on a Mac for all their emails, so all their mail would presumably be on their machines. No, if I moved their email accounts, would all the emails be deleted from their Thunderbird on their Macs? I know they wouldnt for POP, but I have only ever dealt with POP, nt IMAp. If they will get deleted, what is the best way for me to handle this?

Moving Domain Name Server (DNS) ...
I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com). I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch? Is there a way to do this seamlessly? Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

Moving Domain Without Changing Tag
i've been given the glorious task of sorting out the company web site. We have a dedicated server, and 2 domains. One of the domains is the default domain for the dedicated server, and the other is on another tag with another company. That company has then setup a 301 redirect to an url on the dedicated server. Nasty! What I am hoping to do, is add another web site in IIS for the second domain and then get the other company to change the DNS. I would happily transfer the domain to the dedicated server's tag, but that takes time and it may also cause email downtime.

Moving Main Domain To Another Server
I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com). I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients. My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap. I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail. Is this the simplest way to get this done? Is there a better way, with using the main domain?

Can Other Hosted Sites Be Access Through Your Domain/subdomain
I'm using a shared host that provides good service and support, but there's one major issue I discovered recently: Other sites hosted on their server are accessible through my domains and subdomain. For example: Account2 on their server can be accessed through: [url] [url] Host says: "Because everything is Name-based, apache decides what directory is going to be used based upon the name that is provided. However, because the username is valid, it treats it as a vaild URL and redirects it to your site. There is no security issue, as this is just the way apache’s configuration works." Is it really normal? Does the same happen on all apache servers? I think SE's would treat the other pages as mine, no?

What Domain Name Server (DNS) Changes To Make When Moving Hosts?
I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers. I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it. Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen? Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS? I am using cPanel/WHM for both servers.

Mystery Mirror/Mirroring My Client's Site Is On Another Domain But Why?
I'm having an issue with a client site and I am not sure what to do at this point. Conversations with the host (GoDaddy) haven't led to a solution and to be honest, I'm not sure it's their issue to handle although I will be firing off an email to their domain dispute department shortly. I spoke with a couple of supervisors there and they were as baffled as I am. Here's the situation: When people Google the name of the client's business, it returns their site but on a different domain. The entire site is there, nothing is changed but the URL. It's like having an unintentional mirror site except that none of the forms work which is what tipped off the users that something was wrong but of course, they don't notice that they're not actually on 'www.clientsite.com' so they think it's just a form error when in actuality, they're not even at the right domain. There is really no way for this other domain to profit from mirroring the client's site; it's just a business profile type of thing with a few forms for contact, employment applications and vendor applications. No secure info is transmitted other than perhaps the occasional email address but we're not talking a heavy volume site, it's a niche market and really not something that would be a typical target. There's no eCommerce, no subscriptions, no financial info. I'm at a total loss. Could this happen if this other site is hosted on the same server as my client's site? Could it be an actual error of some sort or would it have to be intentional? The whois for this bogus site leads to DomainsbyProxy.com and I'll be sending them a letter as well but I'd really appreciate any input you all might have on HOW this could happen. Should I also contact Google?

Rapid Site Deployment (database Driven Domain Name Server (DNS) + Apache Config)
I am trying to do something that I believe is fairly non-standard. What I am looking to do is create a system where I can rapidly deploy web sites without having to restart named and Apache. For example, if a customer completes a process, I want to be able to turn that site on immediately using a temporary domain (somecompany.example.com or othercompany.example.com). With some programming language (hopefully PHP) I would like to get the customer up and running with their site immediately without having to restart the server. While doing some research I found I could use MyDNS which uses MySQL to manage DNS data instead of configuration files. MyDNS can be updated on the fly. For Apache I have seen wildcard configurations, but everyone seems to be suggesting the use of mod rewrite. I would prefer that the domain maps directly to a specific folder: somecompany.example.com -> /sites/somecompany/htdocs (*.example.com -> /sites/*/htdocs) Does anyone know how I might do this with Apache. It seems similar to user directories (example.com/~username -> /home/*/htdocs)
