Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Add Aliases To Main Server Name
Jun 24, 2015
How do I add aliases to the Full hostname of the plesk server itself? I want the server to listen to 2 more names. Especially for mail, and for migratory purposes (plesk server x is a new one, the name of the old one y needs to become an alias of x later on, etc.). I'm amazed by how hard to find this is, and there is literally nothing on it that I can find!
Of course, I can add aliases via command line, but I have no intentions of having postfix and webserver config be overwritten every time the control panel is used..
We have a CentOS6.5 with 11.5 PLESK. There is a domain named domain.com and there is an alias domain on it that named alias.com and all check boxes of it (Mail,Web,Application and ...) are selected. When we send an email from GMAIL to info@domain.com, we receive it successfully, but when we send that email to info@alias.com, it doesn't receive.
I have just moved away from Kloxo Hosting, and I am a bit confused as to how I go about setting Client domains to use the (Already Registered) Nameserver Records I have created on the server.
You see, when I create a customer, the template adds the domain with it's own nameservers, ex: (ns.customerdomain.com -> 0.0.0.0) I don't want this to be the case.
What I would like to achieve, is for all my client's to have their NS records pointing at the NS records I already have registered on the server.
The reason for this is, when I submit the registration document to my local registrar, I have to specify the nameserver address for the domain, however, I only have 2 IP's on the server. I cannot glue every customer's domain FQDN to an IP.
My DC put a button on Plesk 12 menu about Purchase domains, i dont went to my customer see this kind of stuff, which file i need to edit to remove this?
I'm setting up a SAAS service which is built on top of Laravel. To put it simply the service itself knows whether its being called from a sub.example.com or just example.com and serves a correct response accordingly. So going to sub.example.com will use the same index.php file as example.com but the routes and controllers within the application will provide a different response. sub.example.com will show a tenant login page where as example.com will show a new tenant subscription page or something else.
So when someone new subscribes I add a new entry to the database with a subdomain name for them and when a request comes from that subdomain and they are logged in it will show them their information. Easy right.
There is a problem though with setting it up with Plesk. When I add a wildcard subdomain, it will look for /subdomains/sub/ for the files which is a bit problematic since I want it to serve the files from the same place as the domain example.com.
Is there a way to configure that so that regardless of the subdomain it will try and serve the exact same content as my main domain?
when I try to change main domain, e.g. domain.ru to domain.com, I see that Application Pool changed only for main domain, all additional domain use old Application Pool.
I have webmin and virtualmin running on my server, but it's set up to create usernames in the form name@domain.tld.
Is it possible to create an alias, say myname that points to myname@mydomain.tld, so that I am able to have certain users to login via SSH using a shorter name?
I am using Web admin edition .I need to create two subdomains namely sub1.example.com and sub2.example.com with different IP address. So i need to create two webspaces since a webspace cannot have two domians pointing to two different IP. So now to I can create two webspaces set to different IP. But to create sub1.example.com in one webspace and sub2.example.com in another webspace , i need main domain example.com in both the workspace. But if try to create example.com in second webspace it already exists.Because it exists in another webspace. Actually i dont want to create example.com in both webspace. i need to its subdomain in different webspace.
So one solution is to create example.com and sub1.example.com in one webspace and create another webspace using Adding new webspace and specifying domain name as sub2.example.com. But i don't know does the second subdomain will work properly without creating main domain.
on HyperVM website, they suggest 64bit OS for the main server, and 32 bit OS for the guest OS. Do I understand correctly? Is it faster than 32bit OS on the main server?
If I understand correctly, on the main physical server, we cannot install any firewall, so customers in VPS can open any port on their VPS. So, I am wondering about the security of the main server? What if someone can *hack* into the main server, and delete all VPS there? Is there any case like that before?
XO.com doesnt support c## and ASP on our current hosting plan. They do have a higher plan with ASP and C## enabled BUT it does not have custom aliases on the new plan so either we ditch XO.com or find another host. The reason why we C## and ASP is for the same client we are having the flash issues with. They sent us their files but mostly all are asp based with .aspx extensions and c## coding. Im thinking maybe thats the reason why the flash isn't working right?
But we need a new host with custom aliases and c##, ASP enabled..
Can you recommend? We are currently paying around $50 a month for 5GBs, 75MB bandwidth etc.
The host MUST also have CUSTOM ALIASES as we do have clients that like our domain name...
is there any simple write up or method to change the main server IP in WHM/Cpanel without screwing anything up? I have some new better IPs I wish to use for the servers base IP and accounts but I'm not sure what exactly needs to be changed to make the transfer without breaking anything.
I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com).
I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients.
My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap.
I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail.
Is this the simplest way to get this done?
Is there a better way, with using the main domain?
Just moved to a lxadmin based system from my current plesk system and I have a dilema
Configuration Server 1: Main Web/CP/Primary DNS/Mail/etc Server 2: Secondary DNS/Backup Mail forwarding
With Plesk I generated a transfer file from named.conf (plesk runs bind/named for dns) sent that over to server 2 a couple of times a day.
Problem is I've converted lxadmin to run with bind instead and named.conf only contains an include to lxadmin.named.conf and this is empty. So where does lxadmin put its conf files for named?
I'm not restricted to using named, I'd use djbdns if there was an equally simple way of transferring the zones across to server 2
I currently have a web VPS hosted with FDCServers.net and after 5 days of switching to it i am getting massive HTTP requests. When i login to WHM and hit apache status i have many requests per second by multiple IP's that are going to pages that simple don't exist. Currently my hostname for the server is set at web-01.optical-hosting.com which is what the requests are being sent to. I am also having a DNS issue because when i put http://web-01.optical-hosting.com in the web browser it displays the first account's site under "list accounts" in cpanel. Can someone please help me fix both of these issue's? i will post an apache log in a second post as it is long. Also, these are from overseas. please someone help me with this i have Aim and Msn.
