Possible To Run Drupal And WordPress For Two Different Domains On Same VPS
Jun 4, 2008
I have Drupal setup for one domain on my VPS, and it is the only domain I have.
However, I don't use it that much, and I want to purchase another domain for just a small personal site.
I want to run this on WordPress because I am happier with the simplicity that WordPress offers.
However, I want to do this on the same VPS.
Installing WordPress is no issue, but beyond that, I am screwed!
I have no idea what to do as far as multiple sites go, and it took me forever to get the settings right on my Drupal site, but I have read that it is possible to setup separate sites on the same VPS. But reading about it, and finding information about how to do it has not worked out; I'm not exactly sure what to search for on Google, and most guides give directions on using control panels I don't have access to.
I want the drupal site to still be blah.com and then the WordPress.com site to be whatever.com, and I want them to run on the same VPS. I need them to be separate. One person asked the same question on this forum, and I think he got an answer that was how to point a different domain to the same VPS, but again, these will act as completely SEPARATE sites.
Any help, guides, resources that you fine members of WHT could provide would be greatly appreciated. I can get dirty in the command line (although I still am new to all this networking stuff), but if I had someone point me in the right direction, I should be able to get it done.
I know how to point the domain to the VPS' DNS, but beyond that, I am completely lost, and I could use some help.
I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5 AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded) webmin usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.
I added the following to my cpanel .htaccess file on my hosting account:
<FilesMatch ".pdf$">header set x-robots-tag: noindex </FilesMatch>
This was to stop Google from crawling and indexing my PDFs, will this work accross all my addon domains and subdomains (which are wordpress) on my hosting account or do I need to take extra measure?
Of the many sites I have, I have one hosted at Bluehost. In the beginning I was very sattisfied and happy. Lately due to workload and stuff, I changed the sites scripts into Drupal.
This seems in retrospect a bad choice because I get CPU exceeds suddenly. Now because I was new to Drupal I thought it was mistake. But with caching enabled agressivly, a minimum of mods enabled and FastCGI on there are still reports of CPU exceeds. This is something which ticks me of. Google Analytics says (I have hosting stats disabled) I get about 300 unique visitors per day.
So the real question is, whats suxors the most. Drupal or Bluehost? Bluehost says Drupal is a falty script made up of bad coding...
I find 300 visitors per day a little low to move to a VPS host. So my question is, is there another host where I can host my site(s) that has equal settings as Bluehost?
I've made a Social Networking site based on Drupal and I'm now looking for a place to host it. My budget is of 100$ and i'm thinking of buying a premium hosting plan or vps or maybe even a dedicated (if the budget allows) for 1 month, in order to see if the site will have any success. The hosting company must have an option of upgrading the hosting plan so the site's growth will not be limited.
An other alternative would be bluehost but from what I've read they are a total rip-off.
My special requirements are: php5, mod_rewrite and imagemagick installed, SPF domain records or any other method to avoid the email going into the spam folder. mhash and mcrypt are a bonus but not a must.
Anyone can suggest me a truly professional hosting solution for my needs? I don't want the months spent into developing the site gone to waste because of a bad hosting company that suddenly decides they want to suspend my account.
I'm adding a drupal site of my own to my other sites. Any suggestions for good drupal hosting?
I don't envision my site as heavy traffic (mostly for my classes and students) but I know drupal has some heavy demands for sql queries and I would like to make sure the site is pretty fast. I'm building a test site on my ASO account, and response time seems pretty slow.
I'm developing two Drupal websites and now looking for a host. I have never used Drupal before, and all my hosting experiences are with shared hosting. Since I have read lately a lot about problems with performance of Drupal sites on various shared hosts, I decided to look for a VPS. Managed, since I don't have skills to manage it by myself. From what I read I have concluded that for one low-mid traffic Drupal site with few modules active, I'll need 200-250MB RAM. How much will I need for two websites on same VPS? Double? Should I use one Drupal installation for both sites? Does that mean I don't need double amount of RAM?
I have instal image sharing web and run well. But when i install my drupal site, my DS give me some error with that CMS.
1. First time, when i'v tried to open it, but browser always ask me to download it.
2. And then i've tried to change .htaccess and remove about addhandler, i can load my web. But not well. The page displayed just cache page. if i tried other page, just blank displayed no html or php tag displayed at source.
config my server? I think there is something wrong with my apache and/or PHP configuration.
I own a portal which is heavy on photo, video and audio. My developers have just switched the language from asp.net to drupal.
Can someone help me the ideal server strenghth for such a site. we presently have approx 20000 Images and 3500 Video and 3000 Audio. We have 12000+ members as of now without a single rupww spent on promotions.
We would be now doing a SEO / SEM / SMO and mailers internationally. We expect the numbers to grow atleast 4 folds with a few months
I have a Drupal based website which allows comments on posts after validating through CAPTCHA. Someone has been using a robot to bypass Image CAPTCHA and spam my site by posting hundreds of comments each day.
I use Google Analytics and Statcounter counters on my site. But I haven't been able to find spammer's IP address from visitor logs as the spammer comes directly to my site without any referral. Is there a way to find spammer's IP address and block it in the .HTACCESS file?
I don't think I can stop the spammer just by applying CAPTCHA on comments.
i've a problem with my SMTP settings.The strange thing is that my drupal site, which is located on the server can send mails. But when i try to send from Gmail it does not work.
SMTP-Settings on Gmail Server: IP-Adress/ or Domainname Port: 25 User: E-Mail adress and password
I've also tryed several combinations, it still does nothing.Gmail is showing that it has send the Mail but after a few hours it arrives an email that says:
Action: failed Status: 4.3.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; local data error while talking to smtp.mailchannels.net[54.214. 243.124]
My server is a debian 7 64 bits with plesk 12 last update.
A customer installed drupal 7.4 from plesk panel successful. However from Drupal/Configuration admin panel can not enable "Clean url". Clean test url failed too:
"The clean URL test failed"
.htaccess was ok .
I tried set domain vhost.con with (https://www.drupal.org/getting-started/clean-urls#enabling-7):
I have 2 wordpress blogs, and I'd like a few different domains to be shared on each of them.
Using some exemples, suppose I have domains from domainA.com to domainE.com. domainA.com is my main domain and the others are addon domains.
Today Blog1 is using blog.domainA.com, and domainB.com and domainC.com use WebRedirect to blog.domainA.com. And Blog2 uses domainD.com with WebRedirect on domainE.com too.
To access a post like /2008/02/02/this-is-a-nice-post, it is available only at blog.domainA.com, and not by domains B and C. I'd like they 3 to be able to access all posts directly, without redirecting to domain A.
To do that, I suppose I'd need to do some config on cPanel. And also on wordpress, even if I replicate it over other domains it insists to redirect to its configured domain.
I was thinking on the possibility of using symbolic link (ln -s) on their folders to blog.domainA.com folder, but I don't have access to shell on SSH so I'd like to know if it would work before trying.
In a real exemple of what I want, these domains all share the same phpBB forum: forumpcs.com.br, extremepc.com.br, forumdohardware.com.br.
Do u know if symbolic link would work to share the same wordpress? And how to make wordpress stop redirecting to blog.domainA.com?
Just logged in to Spam Karma 2 (for wordpress) and noticed this message inside ht e2nd chance Captcha Check of Spam Karma 2:
Your install of PHP seems to be missing the GD library (or a more recent version is needed). You should ask your host to update the GD module for PHP and disable the Captcha module until then.
Can we get our server management company to install this? More importantly, wanted to know the risk of installing the GD library. It's not going to cause any critical things to break is it?
i would like to ask about wordpress hyperlink because i was wondering if theres a particular file that i have to edit in order to do a hyperlink on one of the menus under pages of my wordpress blog...i would like to link one of the menu to my website forum...
a customers wordpress blog is taking all the cpu on the server, i can't figure out what the issue here is... i've tried many my.cnf's and i can verify that it uses the my.cnf file.. so that hasn't helped.. i can only mv index.php test.php for now until i could figure out why all these hits cause lag. any recommendations?
For some reason, one of my clients wordpress blog is using 100% cpu on a php process per page load. To clarify, the first time you load the page it is very slow, and uses 100% cpu for the PHP process and then if you reload the page (while it is going slow) it loads very fast. After that is done the normal PHP usage per page load is roughly 1-4% if that.
I'm guessing something in the coding is looping, but I am unsure. What I do know is 100% cpu usage for one page view initially is insane.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix/resolve this issue?
I'm currently using the Godaddy Wordpress Economy plan for 4.99/month but there's been a few downtimes during the past few days. So I was wondering if anyone can suggest another host that is suitable for a Wordpress Blog.
I don't have Linux or whatever I just got Windows XP or Vista.
I'm not an expert at creating websites, I find it difficult. I don't want to have to install databases or msyql manually, I just don't have a clue and would rather leave it.
I just know how to use WordPress and I want a WordPress hosted site.
I would like to know if there are any sites similiar to this: [url]
Which includes stuff like cPanel & Fantastico [url]
Fantastico looks brilliant as I can simply install WordPress in a few clicks without having to mess with FTP and database/msqyl etc.
Does anyone know any reccomended sites that use Fantastico for Windows Vista which I can install WordPress easily?
(I don't want to use '3ix' as I have seen ALOT of negative reviews)
I need server for database only,is there any suggestion with budget$70-$80/month?
My current server is X3220 @ 2.40GHz 2GB
My site stats 73,000 ++ Posts /Articles 320.000 ++ Comments Visitors 9000 - 11000 daily and growing I got 500-600 comments/articles reply everyday.
My server crash recently with this stats.I have try all way how to optimize wordpress with install eAccelator, super wp cache and wasting my money for "expert wordpress" but all result is zero, server still get high load.
This is my first time and I don't know if this will work to separate the database server from the main server, but I want to try it.
I am using version 2.3.1 on one site which I need to import over to wordpress.com However, a long time go the link to the back up options page disappeared and even upgrading does not help to retrieve it.
My problem being that over at the main site you need a WordPress WXR file to import with from a self hosted site. As mentioned that is not an option and I must have it imported somehow. I cannot also access the plugins page.
If i like to put 30 wordpress blogs on a vps no high traffic blogs will be between 50-250 uniques per day per blog and with space to grow if some blogs start attract good traffic
Im thinking about spending $59usd
but most important would be to find a suitable vps for what i need , what specs would
I had no problem installing Wordpress Mu with iPower. Unfortunately iPower really sucks for performance (I have paid one full year though so I have to keep them ).
So I have moved to Hostgator but I'm struggling: there are many things that need to be done to be able to install it and I can't even do it myself only the admin can.
At the moment I'm still waiting.
So I'm looking for another webhosting service again - though I will stay with hostgator because of their outstanding support service - just for being able to install Wordpress Mu.
