I have a question concerning the redirection of URLs. One of our customers has 1 main website (www.x.com) and many subsites (www.y.com, www.z.com etc.) which all end up at the same IIS instance. There, a CMS picks up the URLSs and directs them to the place the user requested.
Now, our customer wants all subsites to enter at the main site/subsite, instead of letting the routing be done bij the CMS. One solution would be to let our DNS hoster put URL redirects on all subsites. This however is not a valid option for us, since it's untransparant to us.
Another option would be to create a separate IIS website for every subsite and redirect these sites to the main site/subsite. That would mean redirecting www.y.com to www.x.com/y and www.z.com to www.x.com/z. This is not a very professional solution though.
There are a lot of permanent redirects in one of my customer's server. I tried to remove them through clicking the remove button but although it gave a "deleted" message, it failed to do so..
Are you sure you wish to permanently remove the redirect ** All Requests ** on ** All Public Domains **
I click YES and i got the message below.
The redirect ** All Requests ** on ** All Public Domains ** has been removed.
But redirect define is still there.
What should i do? I can access to server via SSH. So may be i can handle with this just editing some file(s)?
setting up redirects in IIS to maintain existing links that are prominent in search engines.
current site is ASP and generally pages are accessed without requiring the default.asp to be specified, however site stats show many URLs with the default.asp used to access the page. The new site pages will be ASPX.
my query is would both
root/folder/folder/
and
root/folder/folder/default.asp
need to be redirected? or just the latter?
i believe that as long as IIS is configured to recognise default.aspx then the folder access would work as it does for default.asp at the moment...
but my understanding is that - root/folder/folder/default.asp - would need to be redirected to - root/folder/folder/default.aspx - or whatever page name was assigned to this page...
can anyone elaborate on this and the best way to handle redirects in IIS?
We're running a VBulletin forum. I've been able to put basic redirects in place. But I'm fuzzy on how to direct links/search engines for forums/threads to the new location.
I've set up some subdomains up in cPanel thinking that that would automatically change any url from www.domain.co.uk/test to test.domain.co.uk.
I know these are the same thing but I would like it so that if something links to or type in the address bar www.domain.co.uk/test then the address bar displays test.domain.co.uk.
I am getting a problem that after my reseller client's clients sign in to their cpanel they see server.myhostname.com url in their address bar. This started after upgrading to cpanel 11 yesterday
I have these options set in whm:
** When visiting /cpanel or /whm or /webmail WITHOUT SSL, you can choose to redirect to:
Origin Domain Name
** When visiting /cpanel or /whm or /webmail with SSL, you can choose to redirect to:
SSL Certificate Name
Webmail is extremely slow as well for some reason.
I have spend 6 hours in the last 24hrs hand coding 300 lines of Permanent Redirects. I am moving my site from flat file (PHP with includes) to Drupal. I was going to drop it into the .htaccess file but am wondering if there is a more efficient place to put it since this is permanent. Should it go into the httpd file/Virtual host file, will cPanel over-ride that file?
So I have been reduced, I am a firm *nix Apache user, to using IIS along with ISAPI for redirection at work. Now I can setup the redirection(s) just fine using the GUI, but I am a *nix man and doing this through the GUI is SLOW! That is when it has to be done on 3 servers at a time plus I can only access those servers through a Citrix environment.
And I need to be adding redirects many times a week. Is there any way to setup ISAPI redirects from a command line? Google has offered me nothing.
I just went with Steadcom's VPS and they are great. I am setting things up and it's going pretty well, I have to dust off my linux/server knowledge that I haven't used in a couple of years.
Anyway I'm creating a virtual host.. I will have about 10 in the end, but right now I only have one domain IP Pointing to my new server. My registrar is NamesDirect.
When I create the virtual host, I can no longer access subdirectories directly. My Virtual Host directory is, say, /var/www/html/newdir
If I try to reach http://www.domainname.com which has been configued as a virtual host, that comes up correctly from the directory /var/www/html/newdir and works fine.
But if I try to reach http://myipaddress/newdir I get a 404 page not found error. Looking at the log, it's trying to reach /var/www/html/newdir/newdir so it's putting in the virtual host redirect even for just hitting the subdirectory directly.
Is this normal? Do I have something configured wrong? I have another domain that I have changed to IP Point to the VPS but until it propogates I won't be able to test having 2 virtual hosts.
Also.. I have not set up DNS on my VPS. I don't really understand it, and IP Pointing has always worked for me when I ran my own server form my home so I was just going to do that. But I wonder if this could be one of the problems.
There is a page on a separate SharePoint environment, under http://domain.edu/yyy/yyy/yyy/yyy. We have a subdomain called http://123.domain. edu . We need the home page of http://123.domain,edu to point to the SharePoint site, so when users type http://123.domain.edu , they are redirected to http://domain.edu/yyy/yyy/yyy/yyy.
The trick is this - we need all sub-directories NOT to redirect. So, whatever is under http://123.domain.edu/subdirectory should not redirect at all. Is this doable? Also, if it is, I have no clue where to go to make any changes, so any instructions would be great. So far, I have found the text file httpd.conf that I can edit, but I have no clue about the rest.
Does anyone know a script or something I can edit to fix this commonly seen error in the apache error_log:
[Wed Aug 13 22:09:25 2008] [error] [client IP] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer: [url]
I don't want to increase anything as I read from different places that , that's not good to do. Most say there is a rule written wrong somewhere or something, or a loop of some kind, but I'm not sure how or where to fix it.
i've installed this shared SSL certificate on my server for a domain. now the weird thing is when i go to [url]it redirects to the site which owns the SSL certificate.
any idea how to either disable https access for everything else, or just now have it redirect to that site?
I installed a url shortner script but the link that the script creates takes you to a server error page.
I viewed the logs and I get this error over and over again.
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
I have a WAMP server that hosts a few sites, but I have a particular site with about 5 domains. I want them all to point to the correct website folder and all to be redirected to a single domain for SEO purposes. Here is what it looks like in the virtual hosts file:
Have done some searching as to how I might do this. On a Unix server it's no problem, .htaccess and away we go. However I want to set up a stack of redirects on a shared Windows server, without causing any issues.
The shared server has many of our clients so we can't do anything too 'risky'. This includes a global.asa, or messing with the IIS settings via remote desktop.
It is too late to reuse the old file paths, besides they were not seo-friendly.
This leaves simply retaining the old files and putting asp 301 scripts up top of each page. Fair enough, but it still leaves a mess on the server - ideally I want just the new files in there.
The vast majority of the old pages are actually just HTML, there's only a couple that were .asp (contact forms etc). Does that open up any options? PHP doesn't appear to be enabled as of now, but apparently could be.
I've been fiddling with Plesk to get HTTPS to work for [URL] .... Unfortunately I haven't had any successes at forcing HTTPS, all result in a 'to many redirects' message.
The certificate is already activated and can be verified trough; [URL] ....
I enter one of my IPs or the hostname belonging to this IP, followed by the Plesk port, and I get redirected to the "main" hostname of the server, which was set in Plesk. But at this moment that hostname is used by another server (my old server) and so I'm redirected to the other server and cannot access Plesk on the new server.
I don't know why Plesk reacts like this, because it did not on the old server. Here the problem more detailed:
I'm just configuring my new server with Plesk 11. My old server uses Plesk 10. On my old server / in Plesk 10 I have the following scenario:
- I have several IPs (10) - Each IP is used for a different domain - Each IP has it's domain as the reverse entry (configured outside of the server/Plesk) - Each IP is set to "Dedicated" in Plesk - I set Plesk to listen only on one of these IPs (and different port) - Several domains are created in Plesk, but not a domain for my Plesk IP - The server's name is one of the domains (required for mails not being recognized as spam) - The hostname of the Plesk IP is one assigned by my provider (something like x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com) - Entering the IP of Plesk redirects to the "Plesk hostname" => Plesk can be accessed by using x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com:myport
And under Plesk 11 (here comes the problem):
- Still several IPs (but less: 4) - One IP should be used for Plesk, one for domain X, one for domain Y and the last one for the other domains - Reverse entries are x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com for Plesk IP, domain X/Y for two other IPs and the main domain for the last IP - Plesk IP and the two single domain IPs are configured as dedicated, the last one as shared - At this point I did not configure any domains in Plesk - Server's name is the same as my old server (the main domain) => Entering any IP with the Plesk port redirects to the servers hostname, e.g. my main domain, which is still on the old server. => Result: I cannot access Plesk!
Of course I could just change the hostname of the server via SSH (just have to find out how to do this), but why does Plesk react in another way now? Or is the problem that I cannot change Plesk to listen on only one IP?
Good morning. I have been a customer of Rackspace for approximately 2 years. I love their level of service. However, I'm paying $475 for a dedicated server with the following specs:
Single AMB Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0Ghz, 1B RMD, 80GB HDD
Are there less expensive alternatives that provide similar level of support as Rackspace?
We are a web design firm and we provide hosting for our customers who design their websites with us, we do not promote ourselves as a web hosting company. We are in the market for years and the most thing that confuses us is the hosting problems. Server problems when occur take all of our human resources (we are a small company) and that affects our other (main) work which is web development.
We've tried a lot of reseller then VPS providers, each provider will experience some problems even after a long time of stability.
Sorry for the long introduction but it was necessary to let you know what exactly I want. I know Rackspace from a long time and I was happy when I found out that they are providing a new service (mosso.com) especially for web design firms, they provide 80 GB of disk space with their zero-downtime network and other cool features for $100 monthly which I think is very affordable compared with Rackspace's reputation even it's more than what I pay for my current provider but I'm really looking for stability that makes me concentrate on designing and programming. The problem is that they told me that their customers must have a U.S bank account which we don't have.
Can you suggest companies that provide same quality services with affordable prices (reseller or VPS)
I run a company in the UK that has about 10 dedicated servers, such as db and web servers.
I also have a SAN device with data of around 1.3tb
Been a customer with rackspace for last 3 years and am now shopping around for better value for money.
With rackspace you pay a premium for support but the charges are becoming astronomical and I also feel that they dont look after you concerning price after becoming a customer.
Is there a rackspace alternative that can cope with 4tb of san data, 100mb unmetered and unlimited bandwidth running on an internal gigabit network?
I am looking at the higher end bracket and dont mind the solution being hosted in the US or UK.
I've had my servers with The Planet for years. Used to be really happy with them. Ever since the merger, they seem to have deteriorated over time. Recently, I find the level of support to have become poor.
The redeeming quality is that they have had outstanding uptime over all of these years, and they are always there if you need them in a true emergency - in other words, they always pick up the phone.
I need a company that is comparable in their level of staffing and resources. Who out there is comparable, yet providing better support and overall attitude these days and for the long-haul?
