i am using a VPS which does not have any panel currently (slightly low budget and dont want to waste RAM). can u please tell me two basic steps which i am sure have been discussed before but i could not find them?
1. how to add domains to the server? I have already added them as virtual server in apache config file but i think some other file also needs to be changed for "DNS configuration?" please correct me if i am wrong?
only editing the apache config file and then restarting is not working
2. how to add parked domains to the main domain manually?
I have 2 wordpress blogs, and I'd like a few different domains to be shared on each of them.
Using some exemples, suppose I have domains from domainA.com to domainE.com. domainA.com is my main domain and the others are addon domains.
Today Blog1 is using blog.domainA.com, and domainB.com and domainC.com use WebRedirect to blog.domainA.com. And Blog2 uses domainD.com with WebRedirect on domainE.com too.
To access a post like /2008/02/02/this-is-a-nice-post, it is available only at blog.domainA.com, and not by domains B and C. I'd like they 3 to be able to access all posts directly, without redirecting to domain A.
To do that, I suppose I'd need to do some config on cPanel. And also on wordpress, even if I replicate it over other domains it insists to redirect to its configured domain.
I was thinking on the possibility of using symbolic link (ln -s) on their folders to blog.domainA.com folder, but I don't have access to shell on SSH so I'd like to know if it would work before trying.
In a real exemple of what I want, these domains all share the same phpBB forum: forumpcs.com.br, extremepc.com.br, forumdohardware.com.br.
Do u know if symbolic link would work to share the same wordpress? And how to make wordpress stop redirecting to blog.domainA.com?
I have several hundred parked domains and would like to get up a single page of content for each that I control. Very similar to how godaddy.com does it for parked domains on their servers - buvvi.com .
Any one know of any server or programming scripts out there that can do this sort of thing?
My customer have a primary domain in PLESK and we parked 2 another domains on his domain, for example primary domain is domain.com and another domains is domain.net and domain.org .
now how we can create a sub domain with parked domains in PLESK ? for example sub.domain.org ?
I have domains parked on a subdomain. Since i updated the apache configuration with cPanel the parked domains just show the default apache configuration. The domain shows up under parked domains. I can delete the domain and readd then it works. However, that isn't a good option cause there are 100+ domains.
I am moving several (small) corporate websites over from an iPower VPS (terrible host btw) to LiquidWeb, which means I'm learning all the nuances in the new CP (WHM, cPanel). Now one company has three domain names (with employee only sections), all pointing to the same website (alias/parked domains). In Plesk, if I set them up as Alias domains, going to domain.com or domain.net pointed to the same website, but maintained the domain URL in the address bar indefinitely. Now on the new host, I have them set up as parked domains in cPanel (I thought this was the equivilant to alias). If a user goes to domain.net and follows a link on the page, they are taking to domain.net/link, as it should be.
However when an employee attempts to login at domain.net/login, the form action points to the login script, which in turn uses a PHP Header redirect to take them to the home page (or whichever page they attempted to access when not logged in). But when the header redirects them, it redirects to the domain.com logged in home page, and as the domain has changed it fails the session validation script, so they get redirected to domain.com/login, saying they are not logged in.
I put a note on the login page explaining you may have to login twice for now, but as you know some people just can't understand the interwebz, so I'm still getting lots of emails and phone calls about people not being able to login. Anyway, long story short, where should I start about fixing this problem? I haven't a clue about how WHM/cPanel manages parked domains and how it configures them, so I'm lost about where I should start looking.
When I run apachectl -t or restart httpd I get the error
Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/vhosts/********/httpsdocs] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/vhosts/********/httpsdocs] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/vhosts/********/httpsdocs] does not exist
All three of the domains are in the panel and are working and accessible. I ran /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all hoping that it would fix things but after I ran it I still get the errors.
I have a server which I am using for multiple clients. Some with SSL enabled, some without. I have added custom ngingx conf files for nginxDomainVirtualHost.php and nginxWebmailPartial.php in /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom and modified the following lines to try and harden security:
I check in /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/<domain>.conf and the changes are shown correctly there but browsers and online tools such as [URL] .... still say that the sites are using 128 bit encryption and TLS 1.0.
The Plesk admin panel itself displays 256 bit encryption and TLS 1.2.
I have 12 domains in my control panel but i only see 5 domains in my control panel but all 12 domains are working they are up but only see 5 in control panel....
Domains are simply not showing in the controlpanel. We can see the subscriptions but its empty under the button 'Domains'. Newly created sites as well as migrated sites do not show.
Before we created or migrated a site to the server we changed psa.conf HTTPD_VHOSTS_D /home/httpd/vhosts This is a legacy from our old servers and never has been a problem. I suppose this is not related, but just thought I should mention it.
The second problem with this server is that when we toggle the mailservice in 'Services management' the button reacts but does not change the state of qmail. It just keeps running. What can be wrong with this fresh installation?
Hostgator.com's cheapest package "Hatchling" does not allow parked domain. Does that mean I will have to register/purchase a new domain name from them directly?
Can a domain be parked on an addon domain in a cPanel server?
At first thought I do not see it as a problem as a ServerAlias directive for the parked inside the addon domain Virtual Host container inside httpd.conf is all is required but cPanel may not allow for all it's wisdom.
Let me know if cPanel would pose a problem or wouldn't allow this scenario.
I changed the dns for a domain I purchased yesterday to a parking service at parked.com
Last night I changed the name servers to my hostgator ones. It worked. I was installing joomla, and publishing the site. Everything was fine when I went to bed.
So I wake up this morning.. now when I go to the site it shows the stupid parked.com parking page instead of what I was working on.
I deleted all the cache, history, temp internet files, cookies, everything.. I tried in firefox, and IE. I tried on two different computers. I can't get my site to load up.
I called hostgator and they said the site is fine and they don't see a park page. They told me just to clear my cache again.
the site is www.wiispecs.com
I would appreciate it if someone could check it out and tell me what site they see. I could use any ideas on how to fix this so I can view the page too.
I tried switching name servers to godaddy and then switching back to hostgator. I also emailed parked.com tech support.
I have a domain hosted which is the primary domain with all its file hosted, it also has its own email accounts setup.
I now have another domain, i want to make the new domain the primary domain for the account which is hosting my website and the previous domain to be parked on top of it - this is with the use of cPanel.
Now from what ive experienced i should be able to use and setup email accounts from within cPanel from both domains.
This is my question.
The previous domain already has email accounts setup, if i make the switch and make it a parked domain onto the new primary domain will i still be able to retain the same email accounts/passwords/email?
e.g. if i have email@[url]after the switch i want email@[url]to be under the new primary account[url]
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?
II just transfered domain hosting from my clients old host to my server. The new website is up-and-running without problems. At his request, I use a MX --> A redirect to send his mail to his local server at his business, where he wishes to receive it. It is setup as follows:
Main domain (xyz.net) MX ->> extmail.xyz.net. extmail "A" ->> 99.99.999.99 (at the clients local server)
Here is the PROBLEM. The client has a secondary parked account that just directs to the main account. The client has email MX forwarding from that account, which does not seem to be forwarding correctly after this changeover described above --- it is not being delivered.
Question: Do I have to change the MX pointer at the secondary domain to point ->> to extmail.xyz.net? it is currently set to point to mail.xyz.net.
I indicated that I've basically been using my webhosting company as "file storage".
1) I create all my files in .html using notepad
2) My files are limited to .html, .jpg, .gif, (and a couple of .js and .css) files.
3) My domain is not connected with my webhost; I use the nameserver zoneedit.com and I use URL forwarding and mask/cloak the domain the address bar (using multiple domains) as follows:
domain1.com --> forwards to [url]
domain2.com --> forwards to [url]
domain3.com --> forwards to [url]
4) For uploading files, I go to ftp://123.456.78 and drop/drag/copy/paste files into the window using my browser
5) I'm able to password protect the subdirectories as I choose.
---------------
I called my webhost, Hostik, and told them that I was unable to do anything on my web console. I can't change a password, create a user, or even access my usage/bandwidth quotas.
They told me that I'm on an "old server" using the windows-based console (probably C-Panel / Control Panel) and they're in the process over the next three months of transfering everyone over to "Plesk".
So, they set me up with a new Plesk account, while keeping the old one in place, so that I could move/transfer my files to the Plesk account.
When I went to Plesk, I realized things are not the same:
1) In my Control Panel / C-Panel, I had a unique IP URL Address - [url]
2) In Plesk, it seems there's a set IP URL Address - [url] - that everyone shares.
3) I was told that in Plesk, many people use that IP URL address and that I'm supposed to place my files into the "httpdocs" folder.
Appearently, this is a system of shared hosting whereby many people have the same IP URL address (different from what I had before) and it recognizes each account by the login or something, so the "httpdocs" folder would identify my domain.
I was then told that in Plesk, I must have my domain affixed to the Plesk account.
In other words, I can no longer do what I was doing before, having my domain separated in another location and using URL forwarding from an outside nameserver.
--------------------------
So, my original question is what's the difference between Plesk vs. C-Panel/Control Panel?
Perhaps I answered most of it above.
Is it correct that I can't do things the way I've been doing them so far if that's the case?
It might be that Plesk is not for me and I may need to find a host that gives me my own unique IP URL Address. However, I was informed that not many companies are doing that as most are switching over to Plesk.
In addition, Hostik does not offer multiple domains.
In response to this thread, David recommended I try synhosting.com
synhosting.com has "Multiple Websites". I assume this means mulitiple domains. Correct?
What's my best option at this point?
1) Find a host that has C-Panel / Control Panel (if any there are)?
2) Use a service such as synhosting.com and move all my domains over to them?
3) If I do use synhosting.com, am I required to move my domains over to their nameservers?
4) I have my MX Mail records pointing to Fastmail.fm for my email virtual domains. Would I still be able to do this if my domain is dedicated to a webhost and opt not to use their email feature?
5) Should I get rid of this old-school thought of using my web host as "file storage" and stop this practice of using URL forwarding and cloaking?
OK, I am confused. I have one domain that is parked on top of another domain. I would like Mail that comes to the parked domain to be automatically forwarded to the same user name at the primary domain.
Can I change a DNS or MX record to facilitate this?
