is it possible to register a domain name and just use it to re-direct to another domain without paying for hosting etc? for example if i want a standard url to point to a free [url] blog? how would i go about doing this?
The thing is that we have a dedicated server at our company hosting several domains, and right now you can access them both with the www prefix or without it, but there is no redirection in case you access without it, and this has negative impact with SEO related stuff.
I have the rewrite apache module enabled (I tested with a script I found on the net), and I also tried a test configuring a single domain including some code about redirection.
Right now I'm getting a nice "500 Internal Server Error"
This is the code in .htaccess
Code: Option +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url] (mydomain.com is, obviously, a replacement for the real domain in both cases)
I'v been searching the internet for ways to redirect/mask a domain in Linux (Ubuntu) and everything points me to godaddy. The server is ssh there is no control panel on it. So if anyone knows a way I can redirect my domain name and mask it that would be great. For example domain1 points to domain2, but in the address bar it shows domain1.
I always use Apache and it's easy to redidrect an entire domain in the htaccess.
Code: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain1.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url]$1 [R=301,L] For a site I'm working on I need to achieve the same thing with IIS but have no idea how to and the technician claims it can't be done. Surely, that's not the case. Any ideas?
By the way I want the exact same effect as the above not just a generic redirect that sends everthing to the home page of the new domain.
I just bought a SSL certificate for my domain, let say my domain is domain.com, how do i redirect domain.com to [url]when people type domain.com on their browser? or if someone type www.domain.com then it will redirect to [url]
I have usermin control panel running at https port 10000, but hosted customers have trouble rememembering the port address, hence i want to provide simplified url to all hosted customer so that whenever a customer types [url]or [url]he is forwarded to [url].
I have a number of domains hosted and need a global mod_rewrite rule or whatever that can be specified once in my apache httpd.conf file and it should work for all hosted domains on my server.
Is it possible to redirect parked domains in cPanel to a different URL? I want to redirect each domain to a different url. Can this be done via cPanel or .htaccess?
Is there a way that I could redirect total urls? By that I mean when someone goes to www.domain.com/whatever/file.php?id=345 they get redirected to www.anotherdomain.com/whatever/file.php?id=345
I need a company to register my domain, and then forward emails and urls to my actual site that is somewhere else. I don't need any actual web hosting or email pop (at the moment). My main requirement is reliability.
The company I currently use bounces some email to me and forwards other email to a black hole. They're also not replying to my mail, so it's time to leave. BTW, this is a company that has generally excellent reviews.
I have what seems to be a simple redirect question. I have a dedicated server and a few static IP addresses, but I want to make it so if someone were to type in my IP address in their browser, Apache will redirect them to the domain name. (Typing in [url]
What happens now is that if you were to type in my server's IP address, it will show you the FIRST VirtualHost container that's listed in httpd.conf. This is not so bad since I've placed my main company site at the start of the list, but I'd rather redirect the IP into the domain name I use.
I read somewhere that you can place Mod RewriteRules directly in the VirtualHost container rather than using .htaccess, but the few "rules" that I tried didn't seem to do anything. And yes, I restarted Apache each time I edited httpd.conf.
Is there an easy way to do this?
ALSO, is there a way to redirect the name server address too? If you type in [url]into the browser, it acts the same way. I would ultimately like to redirect both the nameservers and the IP address(es) to the domain name.
I've got two domains (for sake of example, domain A and domain B). Domain A resolves correctly to my web server. Domain B is just sitting collecting dust. I didn't set these domains up, a previous programmer at my job did.
How do I configure resolv.conf, named.conf and the zone file(s) correctly to have domain B redirect to domain A?
I've already set up httpd.conf so that any requests for the host name of domain A will redirect.
e.g. [url]-> [url] I just need the DNS part of this fixed (that I'm a bit of a noob at).
Do I have to do something like this in named.conf:
Code: zone "domaina.com" { type master; file "/var/named/domaina.com.hosts"; };
zone "domainb.com" { type master; file "/var/named/domaina.com.hosts"; }; Then in the domaina.com.hosts zone file add an alias like this?
Code: domainb.com. IN CNAME domaina.com. Or do I need to create a domainb.com.hosts zone file with basic info emulating domaina.com.hosts zone file, and add its entry in named.conf?

I would like to do do following using basic authentication:
1. non authenticated users have access to the index page: [URL] ..... 2. there are other pages, e.g: [URL] .... but these would require basic auth 3. if users are not authenticated they would be redirected to [URL] .... otherwise authenticated users would have access to [URL] .... or anything else under that domain
I have 408 error and put a domain to impersonate the original is blank or rediccionamiento domain to the original. He always says: Time Up and error 408.
I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com
Up until a week ago we had some troubles with package dependencies on our dedicated server running on Ubuntu 14.04.1. Plesk was totally out of reach, displaying 502 Bad Gateway pages and some other weird error on login_up.php3.
I fixed the dependencies by removing a lot of packages (including Plesk) and finally managed to reinstall Plesk using the autoinstaller, then repaired it using "/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh" (IIRC this whole bootstrapper folder was not present before reinstallation).
Now, after restoring our data from a backup pretty much everything works except for the subdomains. They all redirect to the primary domain's vhost (307 Redirect) for some reason.
"/var/log/apache2/access.log" shows the following after issuing a HTTP request to any subdomain:
I have tried enabling and disabling nginx, it did not work. Then I just kept it disabled because it makes our forum think that everyone has the server's IP (because of the reverse proxy thing I assume).
Oh, and I should say: using HTTPS anywhere just gets me a 502 Bad Gateway error.
basically it has to do with supporting filenames(or urls) in non English (Arabic) encoding in apache webserver....
I'm assuming that its apache that needs to be configured for this, i can't think of anything else except encoding support on the o/s too.....
funny thing is, i can upload and download non Arabic file names through ftp, and ftp displays them correctly, but they can't be accessed through a webbrowser.....
hmmmm, actually firefox can access them, it screws up the file name into funny signs but actually displays the file, I.E can't access them at all....
So, how can I enable Arabic language support on my webserver?
It's very dangerous to display Google ads on your website! ("adsense"). If they decide they don't like your website, for any reasons, for example political reasons (they told it to me), then instead of displaying their regular ads, and even instead of displaying a blank space instead - they display a frame with big "Action canceled" at the top of your website and your customers might think you went out of business or something like that (they are not displaying any relation to Google). They did it to my and my website, www.speedywhois.com (currently .net), look for yourself, read this post and especially the images attached (MSIE and MZFF) and especially if you're politically active as I am and support human rights and especially in China or Israel or criticize Google or the United States of America then you can find "Action canceled" frames on the top of your website too.

I currently don't have a computer and I'm using public computers to connect to the internet (it costs) and when I noticed this "Action canceled" on the top of my website it was shabbat (weekend) but since this is a top security issue and I didn't want my customers to think I went bankrupt and stop using Speedy Whois, I removed google ads and put a warning to other webmasters too.
By the way I also asked them why they stopped displaying my ads for Speedy Whois on their websites ("adwords"), I wrote them in english and my website is english and my language preferences are english but instead they wrote me something in hebrew about them hating me and my website which I didn't even bother to read. I asked them to reply in english and they refused so I'm not advertising with them either. Godaddy is also not displaying whois data to my customers so they are together (Google & Godaddy) doing their best to cause my customers to stop using my website.
Google also caused me problems with sending mail from my gmail and they are censoring me big time because of my political views. I'm against wars and I wrote some things against war crimes on my website and it made them very angry about me.
I host my site on webcity and have done for 6-7months. Most of the time, I publish my web and the changes appear virtually immediately.
Some weeks ago, the lag between publishing and appearing began to take hours. I advised webcity support and the next day back to normal.
Yesterday, it started again. I emailed webcity and their reposnse was - it's your cache. I rang webcity and again was advised - it's your cache (or something your ISP is doing).
I don't believe it is cache. I can refresh the page, close the browser, reboot the computer, clear all temp files (run CC Cleaner) - no difference.
I am hosting my site on cpanel server, but there is a little problem, my images in the application are not getting displayed, whereas they are displaying alright on my local server, i've tried different methods to ressolve this issue, but, i wonder is it something to do with the server.
