DNS / Bind - Easiest Method To Redirect A Domain To Another
Jan 2, 2007
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?

After some experimenting with Linux VPS setups, I'm eager to explore windows VPS software.
Two questions I guess, first off, what is the cheapest method of offering multiple VPS accounts on a windows server? Are there any free or build in Microsoft methods?
Second, what is the easiest way of doing so? (Simple setup, as hands off as possible)
I realize the cheapest may not be the easiest and vice versa. I'm downloading Parrallels Virtuozzo trial right now, but would like to learn what else is out there.
I was wondering what you people do when a new customer registers a new domain (only domain) and then parks in on your server. Now I manually park it on top of parked.myhost.com so that everybody who visits this domain will see the custom "Hosted with"-page. But there has to be an easier way/automatic way to do this? So please, share your knowledge
I have an error that has arisen me for no apparent reason. This error does not allow me to enable or disable DNS domains. I searched for solutions but have not found anything.
The error message is: ERROR: Call to undefined method plesk__client__domain__dns__toggle::_postRequestRequired() (DNSToggleUIPointer.php:26)
And as I said DNS appears when activated or deactivated by the domain from Plesk panel
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 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 have following problem-i have over 20 sites on server and each site has own database.Is there a way to speed up backup and transfer or other server?
Method which i use right now it's following:first i archive entire directory using command tar -pczf name.tar.gz public_html,and then repeat with each directory.But i think i could simply archive all requied directories,but that will took toomuch time,so if i drop connection during archiving it wont be archived at all then.So i think best solution will be to create some kind of batch command which can load in background,so that means command wont stop if client lost connection.
So let's say i have 2 sites and two directories located and different places.
One is at home/site1 and other at home/site2 So i think i would need to put command into batch file tar -pczf site.tar.gz. /home/site1 and tar -pczf site2.tar.gz /home/site2
Will that work? Also second part,mysql databases,i founded if i login into phpmyadmin as root i can see all databases.I managed to export all databases,but question will import again to phpmyadmin work.I think phpmyadmin create command for each database "if there is no db sitename_mysqlbase,create it",but howmuch i know phpmyadmin have limit with importing size of mysql database.Could that be done with import/export mysql command?
