Just a quick question, can i setup a cname to redirect user to a URL instead of domain.... like
mail.thedomain.com.incnamemail.google.com/a/thedomain.com
I have to do this on Windows server with IIS so i can't use mod_rewrite etc!
I have a reseller account with canaca and i want to add some A records and Cname to some of domains!
i heard that i can do the from DNS ZONE option!
I'm new for cpanel
and I want to add CNAME for domains.live.com and the requiered information
DNS Record Type: CNAME
Host: 250953144
Value: domains.live.com
I enter edit dns zone
like the picture attached
I don't know if i should delete the www and mail or leave it like this please told me how to do to make it valid with domains.live.com
i have just created a dns ZONE for my domain, but i dont know what to use for ftp service.
i looked up in cpanel dns zone records for the domain i created and it looks like this... i am confused what to use CNAME or A record for an FTP entry
ftp 14400 IN A <IP> (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 CNAME domain.com. (for sites with dedicated ip)
what is the difference? what if i change to
ftp 14400 IN CNAME domain.com. (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 A <IP> (for sites with dedicated ip)
Also, how many A records i can place in zone file?
I am simply wanting to map on mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com. So i setup a CNAME on mydomain.com. Once propagated mydomain is not being picked up and is defaulting to the cpanel successfully installed screen.
I have tried this on another of our servers and this does work.
So my question is: can you use a CNAME to map mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com without having to add the mydomain.com to the apache VirtualHost ServerAlias?
It does seem like you can as i have this working on one server - is there an apache setting somewhere to block this?
Thanks in advance!
I'd like to know how I can use DNS to do something like make a CNAME record that points the same address to different addresses based on the port used.
mail.example.org on port 80 points to ghs.google.com
mail.example.org on port 995 points to pop.gmail.com
mail.example.org on port 587 poitns to smtp.gmail.com
I apoligize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this thread.
I am trying to create a CNAME entry in my DNS tables and have no clue where to begin.
I have did a search but didnt find anything that gives reference on how to do it just how to fix errors.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to learning how to accomplish this task.
Let's say I buy my domains from godaddy and have the DNS records pointed to the shared host.
From there, the shared host creates your CNAME records, or whatever you want to add to your domain name.
What happens if I wanted to control the CNAME records? Can I do this from godaddy? If so, how? Are there negatives to this method?
i am trying to use a custom url (example: mail.mydomain.com) for my google apps e-mail.
i can't seem to figure out how to set up the CNAME in WHM to allow this to occur and google apps' help function is not well ...
We have Livezilla tracking on our site, and saw some suspicious activity this afternoon from the Netherlands, about 5 connections from the same IP address, they now appear to have put in a cname record/copied our site for http://wiiee.nl/design.html to our site. Does anyone know what they're doing/trying to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am seriously confused mainly because of the way it was explained in my training at work. Can someone please give me an explantion of the difference between creating a cname record and using a domain pointer? My understanding is that they both effectively do the same thing which is allow one ip address to be used for different domains.
Extra marks given for an easy to understand analogy as i'm definately a visual learner.
The Non-Profit I work for uses IXWebhosting for our webhost and to manage email accounts. For the past 2 months whenever we send emails to anyone @baaqmd.gov, we receive CNAME bounceback errors.
I have contacted IXWebhosting and they say that their DNS server's aren't registering baaqmd.gov and that I need to contact baaqmd.gov. Well I've been in constant contact with baaqmd.gov's IT guy and they are receiving emails just fine from outside agencies. In fact, when I send a test email using GMAIL to baaqmd.gov, they receive it just fine.
To further confuse me, we receive emails fine from BAAQMD.gov.
I am trying to change the cname through a batch.. It is successfully done for English language but I want to use Arabic language. When I am using Arabic it appear like this "????".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a domain hosted in a external pool of servers.I must set a dns record for www.domain.tld and domain.tld (without www). It must be done using cname.The www.domain.tld , works fine.
Ex:www.domain.tld IN CNAME xyz.otherdomain.tld.
But I am not able to set a DNS record for a root of domain.
Ex: domain.tld IN CNAME xyz.otherdomain.tld.
neither domain.tld IN CNAME www.domain.tld.
The PPA didn't allow me.It say that the host field is mandatory.
When I create a CNAME record for domain, and then trying to load it, it goes to default website. It was working fine before, all old CNAME records are working fine.
Tried reconfigure-all but it doesn't fix the problem. I'm using 11.5.30 Update #44
i just got code for .htaccess to redirect mydomain.com to a directory on the same domain here directory123 is that name of directory where i wanna redirect my domain but problem is that when i put complete url like
www.mydomain.com then it will successfull redirect to www.mydomain.com/direcotry123
But when i put address like mydomain.com without www then it will not redirect kindly check and let me know the correction to redirect it as well
Code:
# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all

My company provides free websites using an automated website builder we designed years ago. We also offer a option where members can add a domain name to their site. Because all our members pages are generated dynamically by the web builder script, when member adds the domain name option we simply add a DNS entry that includes an A record that directs the domain name to the IP address of the account on the server where the web builder is installed. All domains point to the same script and that script looks the domain up in a database table and gets the web page data for that website.
membersite1.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/index.php
membersite2.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/index.php
We are about to launch a new website builder that is not database-driven but includes a sub-directory for each member site. So, I need to find a way to redirect each member's domain to their sub-directory
membersite1.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/member/m/membersite1
membersite2.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/member/m/membersite2
I thought I could do with mod_rewrite in a .htaccess file in /home/webbuilder/public_html:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^membersite1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ^/member/m/membersite1/$1 [L]
But it's not working. The .htaccess file has no impact at all.
.htaccess fle working? Or is there another, better way to point a domain name to a sub-directory?
Although I'm able to redirect my subdomain to the /htdocs/subdomain directory using a php script, but the URL changes from [url]to [url]
And since I'm on windows, htaccess doesn't seem to work for me. Tried adding VirtualHost thingy into httpd.conf but then Apache doesn't start with it.
Is there any way to redirect [url]to /htdocs/subdir without changing the URL?
when our customers enter the domain name in this format: http://www.domain.com:8443 the page will be redirect to https://our-datacenter-default-hostname:8443.
but if they enter httpS://www.domain.com:8443 , the page don't redirect to anywhere and every things is ok.
How can I change the URL that users redirect to when they don't enter "https" in addressbar?
I'm a reseller with a few seperate servers. Thus, trying to set up a 2ndry set of NS records. Setup as follow:
main-domain.com : Hosting domain
main-server.com : Main Reseller server, hosting main-domain.com
2nd-server.com : Another reseller server
hosted-domain.com : A domain hosted on my 2nd-server.com
1. Main domain DNS, pointing to main-server.com (On NS.main-server.com).
2. On main server, NS1 & NS2.main-domain.com pointing to NS.main-server.com)
3. On main server, set up 2ndry NS - NS3 & NS4.main-domain.com as CNAME pointing to 2nd-server.com (NS1 & NS2.2nd-server.com)
4. hosted-domain DNS pointing to NS3 & NS4.main-domain.com
Problem is, NS3 & NS4 are working - But when i try looking up hosted-domain.com i get a 404 error.
What am i doing wrong?
I have two servers with two different ip address in two different physical location.
eg
server A - 202.44.33.1 - domain.com
server B - 192.33.55.3 - abc.domain.com
what i would like to do is redirect people coming to abc.domain.com to ip address 192.33.55.3 instead of the conventional 202.44.33.1/abc/
can this be done ? If so how ? I know it can be done but i am not sure how or what the technical term for such a service would be ? and the actual steps involved in creating a redirection like this.
explain our setup.
We have an in house centOS linux developer box running apache 2.x
We have our own on-site router/switch setup etc.
We host our external website whatever.com with Networksolutions
On our whatever.com DNS (via network solutions). We have our domain subscriber.whatever.com pointing to our external IP address. subscriber.whatever.com -> xx.xx.xx.xx
In our router configuration we have subscriber.whatever.com forwarding to our CentOS linux development box. it's forwarding to the internal network IP address 10.xx.xx.xx
However we want the box to redirect someone when they come in on subscriber.whatever.com... We basically want it to redirect them to subscriber.whatever.com:port/folder/
Preferably masked so that all someone would see is subscriber.whatever.com but they're actually at subscriber.whatever.com:port/folder/
Unfortunately network solutions's setup won't allow us to easily do this so we have to do it somehow locally.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've got this working on the box itself (if you goto the site on the box via gnome) however externally or on another system on our internal network it's a no go.
We have a website hosted with 1and1 Internet and want to keep it like that with its current domain name www.companyname.com
However we have registered a new domain name with 123-Reg, which is company.uk.com, because 1and1 Internet dont allow you to register .uk.com domains
We want to switch to using the .uk.com domain as the main domain but keep the website with 1and1.
Is there a search engine friendly and invisible way of using the uk.com domain by somehow redirecting visitors, without the domain name switching visibly in the browser?
if you type in the browser
Code:
neomagician.com
it redirects to
Code:
[url]
ok no problem there. but when you type
Code:
neomagician.com/forum
OR
[url]
it redirects to the hostname
Code:
[url]
where you promptly receive a 404 error.
BUT, if you type
Code:
[url]
(note the forward slash on the end)
it works just fine.
If you type a nonexistent file or folder it only 404s on the domain name and no redirection occurs.
I am having an issue with one of our sites sitting behind an alteon load balancer. Basically, when people try to checkout from a store it redirects to https. Well, this gets stuck in a loop and never responds. If you go to https directly it works fine till you try and check out.
Flow is like this 443->loadbalancer->81 apache web server.
Anyway, I think it has something to do with the session getting lost. I've read some on proxying but I am not sure how to get it working.
My site prime357 . org is being unexpectedly, from time to time, re-directed to my host's site DrupalValueHosting.com.
It has now been a few weeks and this problem still remains. I have not set up any purpose re-direction to my host site. My .htaccess file has no reference to my host site.
My host, the other day, suggested that I change my site, temporarily, to prime357.net, whilst he (the host) works on the problem as to why prime357.org is directing to the host site.
Re-direction to my host site is still occurring.
I established that a few hours ago that someone did a whois on prime357 . org hours earlier and the IP resolved to 67.228.128.242 (which is my host's site). I did the same lookup and the IP resolved to 67.228.230.119 (which seemingly, is correct, is my site).
This problem is an intermittent problem and is happening to other customers of DVH.
I can't physically check or make adjustments (at least I think I can't). What solutions or what process would one go through to track down this type of problem. Is this a common mis-configuration type problem though I haven't come across it before.
I have a domain - xxx.com
I want to modify the dns zone so that xxx.com is redirected to subdomain.yyy.com.
I have modified the DNS Zone and pointed
xxx.com. 14400 A subdomain.yyy.com.
www 14400 CNAME subdomain.yyy.com.
But it is not working. I am on Linux Server with WHM/cPanel.
I want to wild card subdomain redirection
I want to like this when anyone type *.mydomain.com to will redirect to
[url]
how can i do this.
I have create A record for *.mydomain.com and also add in serveralias www.mydoamin.com mydomain.com *.mydomain.com
