Apache :: Domain Mapping That Don't Involve Wordpress?
May 6, 2015
I used to have a server which had domain mapping via wordpress... a friend of mine had this up for me and every time I added a new website to the same server/ip-address, I just modified the .htaccess for example:
I have a new domain for an online store which I am trying to map to a certain web server(launchsplash_com) for just their Launch Page to show up as homepage when my website is accessed (the ecommerce software has its own default homepage, which I prefer not to show up). The registrar for the domain is Godaddy but hosting is done with a different company - Server Intellect.
The issue is mapping my domain to Launchsplash's server does not seem to work. And I am not sure if I am doing the right settings through the host control panel. As per LaunchSplash company's instruction - I create a CNAME record name - www_mydomainname_com and CNAME record data - mydomainname_LaunchSplash_com
Since the domain is not being hosted with Godaddy, the total dns control for making dns changes is disabled in godaddy control panel.
I do not wish to do the forwarding option, since that shows up the forwarded domain name.
If you want to use several domains for your single website, from SEO-reasons or from any other reasons (which?) is it better to forward your domain to that sub-domain or should it be mapped in the DNS in CNAME?
It's not the same issue like with Google Apps, whether you should use your own domain, e.g. sites.yourdomain.com or whether you should use the domain offered by Google for your Sites. The reason is that theotherdomain.com is a part of the single website called yourdomain.com, thus, it is not an external website hosted somewhere else.
i currently have a site on a .co.uk domain. my client would like the "main" domain to be .com instead. I should add that BOTH .com and .co.uk will be used.
The company is advertising itself as thesite.com, so people will associate the business with www.thesite.com, not .co.uk.
I have both domains, and I understand domain mapping is used for this purpose, but before I go and screw up anything, could someone please clarify.
Is it possible to "domain map" so that visitors go to www.thesite.com, they will see the website as .com, but the site itself will actually be on the ".co.uk" server.
I don't particuarly want to transfer the site from the .co.uk to the .com and set up a redirect.
I know I could use a redirect .com to .co.uk, but the client specifically wants ".com" to be the site visitors view. (they bought .co.uk and set the site up first, just to be annoying)
I already mapped my IP address to a domain but when I tried to access http://myipaddress it still show the LX Admin Default page instead of my site. How can i fix that?
So I have question regarding apache on windows and hard drives.
I have a virtual rack what i connected all my servers upto, Then I mapped all my servers hard drives together so they can all communicate and share data from each other.
But I have apache installed on 1 server hard drive C:/
Can I run apache from that mapped hard drive on the other servers ? Or would that cause problems ?
Also they are all windows 2008 running the latest apache from here.
I have installed wamp for editing word press theme every thing is ok but when I create new data base and start configuring my wordpress project file optional message appear when I click submit what should I do ?
Running Apache 2.2.22 on Ubuntu 12.04...Here's (in addition to default) my papertower config in sites-available: URL....
When I restart, I get this message: [URL] ....
I'm coming from Apache on Windows and trying to set up the same workflow I had there. Basically, if I placed a folder in /www/papertower/ it would become accessible via directoryname.papertower.dev after adding the host.
I'm having a strange issue getting it going again. Oddly, when I didn't have the wordpress config set up properly and went to site.papertower.dev, it would give me the "failed to connect to database" message. This made me happy, as it meant it was pointing at the right folder. Once I fixed the database config file, however, and go to site.papertower.dev, it thinks for a moment, then goes to www.site.papertower.dev and gives me a "Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.site.papertower.dev".
I double-checked that all the appropriate mods were enabled (especially rewrite), but that hasn't made a difference.
My site will wait for 30s almost everytime before loading any of the page itself.Specs of my install:
- DigitalOcean Droplet (VPS) with Ubuntu Server 12.10: 512 Ram and 20GB SSD (not even coming close to needing more RAM, still have 240MB free according to top) - Wordpress 3.6.1 - 5 plugins: W3 Total Cache, Wordpress SEO by yoast, WP Better Security, WP Smush.it, and Redirection (problem occured before adding the last 2, I can't remember about the others) - No traffic to speak of. I get maybe 10 uniques/day. - Apache 2.2.22 - MySQL 5.5.32
I've optimized my site itself the best I can, minifying and combine js and css files, using the WP Smush. It plugin to compress images, serving jQuery from a CDN, but none of that worked the 30 second wait (though it did shave about 10 seconds off the load time after the wait for response).
I was using cloudflare and had to fiddle with the nameservers of my domain, but cloudflare didn't work at all and I switched the nameservers back to normal pointing DNS directly at my site to eliminate the obvious causes. I'm comfortable with Linux and the command line. This is the link to my site: [URL] ....
I can't get MAMP to work. I sadly uninstalled and AppZapped MAMP and reinstalled it. Now I can't get WordPress to install. I can make a DB on PHP MyAdmin but I get "not found" when I try the WordPress install. I can't get the PHP info? line to work either. How do you troubleshoot MAMP?Â
I added the following to my cpanel .htaccess file on my hosting account:
<FilesMatch ".pdf$">header set x-robots-tag: noindex </FilesMatch>
This was to stop Google from crawling and indexing my PDFs, will this work accross all my addon domains and subdomains (which are wordpress) on my hosting account or do I need to take extra measure?
I was wondering if it is possible to host subdomains on different VPS's? Here is what I am trying to do
PrimaryDomain.com -> Hosted on VPS0 | - Subdomain1.primaryhost.com -> Hosted on VPS1 | - Subdomain2.primaryhost.com -> Hosted on VPS2
VPS0, VPS1, VPS2 have different IP addresses.
I tried using A records to point subdomains to different VPS but VPS requires a "primary domain" looks like. Do let me know if this is possible. I tried google but not sure what exactly I shoudl be searching for.
just restored a server from an rsync backup. problem now is that i have a couple of hundred accounts all under root, when they're supposed to be resellers and sub accounts of resellers.
any idea if its just some file which contains all the mappings or do i need to go through all these hundreds of accounts and reassign them?
I'm not that good at IPTables so bare with me. I think I got the rules correct though but it doesn't work Here is what I am trying to do.
I have a server at let's say 111.222.11.10(I will call this server A) and another at 111.222.11.20(I will call this server B).
These servers are in same datacenter.
What I am trying to do here is when a user accesses port 2000 on server A, I want server A to forward/proxy the port to 2000 at Server B. I have tried the following so far. Non of them worked.
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2000 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 2000 -j DNAT --to-destination 111.222.10.20:2000 Yes, I have done service iptables save and start. Also iptables -F
Currently my companies global website “domain.com” is hosted in a shared hosted environment, our own U.S. website “us.domain.com” is hosted at our datacenter.
Here is my question, we have a redesign project. My goal is to lose the “us.domain.com” sub-domain and move our new U.S. site under the "domain.com" domain using a “/us/” folder delineation.
Is it possible with modern web server technology to setup a something like virtual directory/folder, redirect, alias or remote mapping of the “/us/” folder that points to a separate server hosting our U.S. site outside of shared hosting environment for our "domain.com" site, e.g.?
• Domain.com/<global website content/structure > - Hosted at in a shared environment on Web App Server running Coldfusion • Domain.com/us/<U.S. website content/structure> - Hosted at our datacenter on Web App Server running IBM WebSphere
Unfortunately I cannot merge the two sites together based on the web server technology and lack of budget/resources to accomplish.
any idea if this is possible? basically what i'd like to do is make a "virtual folder" in my linux box that is actually a connection to an ftp account on another server.
so for e.g. if i say cd /myftp it'll show the contents of that directory as though it was a standard folder, however it is actually connecting to some other machine via ftp?
I need a shared host account that can support wildcard mapping of all HTTP requests through the ASP.NET engine. This is required in order to fully support the UrlRewriting techniques I want to use. Anyone know of any affordable hosts that can support this? Of course, as my site grows I'll consider upgrading to a VPS (and further depending on the growth).
I am having the hardest time binding my domain name to my Apache server. If I use the IP address, I can access it just fine even outside of my network. But when I try to bind my domain name to that exact same IP address it just does not work.
I am running Apache 2.0.64 on Windows 8 and my domain name is registered at Name.com. I have contacted them to and I am awaiting a response but they are really backlogged right now and I thought it wouldn't hurt to post here as well. Besides, I thought it might have something to do with my Apache config file anyways and I wanted to make sure.
We are getting the below message in Apache's error.log when accessing from mobile application & updated apache from 2.4.9 to 2.4.10 also.Trailing dot is created after the URL.
I can able to hit [URL] ..... and I can't able to hit [URL] ....
There are 2 different domains with the same IP being served by Apache. I want one of the domains to be served by lighttpd, is it possible without having to change the IP of that domain?
I am currently running Apache on Ubuntu 14.04. I tried adding an alias, but it doesn't do exactly what I need. I have a single site and I need to point two domain names to it. The thing is, if someone types in www.site1.com I want it to show the url as www.site1.com and if someone types in www.site2.com I want it to continue to show www.site2.com in the URL. Right now if they type in www.site1.com it shows the first site name as the URL, but if they type in www.site2.com it changes the URL to www.site1.com. Below is what I have as my virtual host in my conf file currently.
