View 2 RepliesI've set up the affiliate manager from jrox.com for a client of mine. This includes the setup of wildcard DNS so that each affiliate can have username.clientssite.com and have it count their clicks - which works properly.
What isn't working properly is that he also has forums.hissite.com, which is loading the main website page instead of his forums. He is using cpanel to add the subdomain, and it isn't failing, so I'm not sure what's going on with it.
Here is the relative section from the httpd file.

I'm setting up an auto-configuration script to setup accounts in WHM and create subdomains and so far everything is working fine!
But we have a problem - when an account is setup and the subdomain is not working yet when a customer visits it he gets wrong dns information and then when the domain starts working it's not working for him.
I know that flushdns solves this issue under Windows but I don't want to make my newbie customers run complicated commands.
Will a 5 minut delay solve this issue from the moment the account is created to the moment the customer visists the site?
my control panel is PLESK, when our customers create sub domain they cannot access to their sub domains with www, for example the sub domain is sub.domain.com and I cannot access to this sub domain whit this address www.sub.domain.com .
what should I do to work the sub domains with www ?
I have a question about SSL certificates and how they function with subdomains.
OVERVIEW
Right now we have [url]. This subdomain houses our client management tool.
PROBLEM
We wanted to use an SSL cert on the above domain so I purchased a wildcard SSL. *.domain.com SSL was ordered and setup.
However, now when we enter[url]we're seeing the content from domain.com, not secure.domain.com
I understand we could use [url]but isn't the point of the wildcard SSL so I can do what I want... access [url]?
This is a cPanel/WHM setup.
I have googled high and low and i'm about to explode. This has been an issue for the last 4 days...
I have secure.domain.com
I bought a SSL cert for secure.domain.com
I installed the cert
[url] shows the right content
[url]shows the content for [url]
-
I've had this working before on site5, but I share a dedicated account now with WHM/cPanel and it's not working.
it's like the subdomain is being ignored.
-
Tll me if i'm wrong, but each SSL needs its own IP correct? i added an IP for domain.com and WHM seems to have set it for all the subdomains as well.
I purchased a dedicated server several days ago, and realize that this will be a learning curve for me since I'm not experienced in server management.
I have a quick question about subdomains.
My domain names have resolved (or are still resolving). I created two subdomains on a domain, but I can't access them. I'm not sure if there is anything else I should do to get these subdomains to work.
I'm using Plesk8.1
My domains are registered at GoDaddy (and some at RegisterFly)
if I can provide you with any information such as my DNS template, etc...
I know this question has been asked loads of times, but I don't seem to be able to find the answer I'm looking for.
I'm looking to host the forum part of my site on another server. The main part of my site is on a shared hosting account. Which is fine. I'm adding a forum to the site, and was planning on hosting this on my VPS account as a subdomain. As my shared hosting package is only small.
I've edited the DNS with my domain registration provider and added a A record for forum.mydomain.com pointing to the ip of my VPS account. I then created a account on my VPS for the domain/subdomain. However I don't seem to be able to get the subdomain to work
Do I need to ask my shared hosting provider to do anything? or do I need to edit anything on my VPS? The subdomain doesn't appear to be resolving.
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.
I'm planning on buying my first domain in order to host various sites of mine in one place. I like the idea of subdomains to separate them, but I was wondering... Is it possible to access different subdomains using different passwords? I'm planning to let a friend of mine use a subdomain to host a site of hers that's related to mine, and I'd like it if she had the security of a different password. I just want to know if I can even do this, and if so, what hosts offer this option?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi have a bit of a problem here. I current have a site sitting on a windows box with wildcards subdomains set up, that are hosted on the same box.
The question i have is can i host blog.domain.com [wordpress blog] on a different box such as a linux one? and make it act as domain.com/blog?
I have 9 dedicated servers that i use for an applicaton.
what i would like to try and find out is the following.....
all the servers have WHM/Cpanel installed
i want to have a domain (www.domain.com) on 1 server
then i want to somehow have
server1.domain.com (second server)
server2.domain.com (Third server)
etc
Is this possible, if so how would i go about setting this up?
to have abc.mydomain.com redirect to mydomain.com/abc
to do this, I have:
1) created a DNS record at my hosting company, *.mydomain.com and it works, any made-up subdomain correctly points to my server.
2) using Plesk, I created a DNS record, *.mydomain.com
3) in an .htaccess file, I put:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+).mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/%1 [L,R]
... but the thing doesn't work, I keep getting the server's default page:
This is the Control Panel default page
If you see this page it means:
1) hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2) there's no such domain registered in Control Panel.
I have recently run into the need to setup subdomains on one of my site's with their own SSL certificate. Cpanel only allows one SSL per domain.
Does anyone have experience or a recommendation on how to setup a subdomain with it's own SSL.
My thought is to setup a separate hosting account for the subdomain. i did this in plesk a few times successfully, and in theory it should also work in cpanel. With the separate account, i can install a separate cert and the problem is fixed, but I'm not sure if it will work.
Is there a way to lookup all sudomains for a domain?

named.conf shows both A entries correct at domain.com.db:

The subdomain was created 2 days go, so this is not a dns propagation issue.
Im using latest cPanel RELEASE version, and RHES 4.
I currently have shared hosting, but am getting VPS with another company. I'd like to keep my domains on my original hosting and direct the domains to the new server. I've been reading and it doesn't seem that hard to change for a regular domain. The problem is I don't seem to understand how to do the same for a subdomain. I keep reading about the A record and CNAME, but just don't get it.
Does anyone have any experience with this. Do I just put the IP address for the new server in the A record? I just want to make sure I know what's going on before I order my new hosting and find out it's not possible or something.
I'm also curious if mail, like myname@mydomain.com will continue to work. Or is there something I need to change for this as well.
im trying to set up a site for a client whereby they can add subdomains to their existing domain (http://test1.client.com/, http://test2.client.com/, etc.).
its a dedicated server with Plesk...can anyone point me in the right direction please?
ive searched these forums but havent come up with much, but maybe didnt search for the right terms, so my apologies if this has been answered before.
I'm a linux guy that occasionally has to work on ASP sites.
Maybe I've just been spoiled, but on my linux accounts I can set up fully functional subdomains that are completely independent of the main domain. In other words, a reference to root like "<img src="/images/pic.gif">" points to the root directory of the subdomain, and all my files for the subdomain are located outside of the main domain's directory tree. I realize I can use the whole URL in the reference, but would rather not for ease of portability. Come to think of it, will a windows server recognize a root reference - does it require any special setup?
Can anybody recommend an ASP.net host that can handle subdomains like this? I've been searching around wo/ any luck.
As the title states I'm wanting to forward many subdomains on a site I recently acquired.
The still has a lot of traffic to subdomains that no longer exist and I want to somehow redirect all of them to my main domain index page.
I didn't figure I could use .htaccess because the subdomains no longer exist.
Is there some way to do this via DNS or perhaps the httpd.conf file?
I'm trying to figure out how many domains and subdomains I can get with each plan from Network Solutions, Enom and Yahoo. Is there any set standard of number of subdomains per domain? Network Solutions gives you one domain for two of their plans, three for the third, but says nothing about subdomains...
View 13 Replies View RelatedI purchased a domain, domain.com, from GoDaddy.
I have 5 servers, 2 running CentOS and Apache, 3 running Windows Server 2003 and IIS. Each server has it's own dedicated IP address, so I can access each site by going to [url]
Would I would like to be able to do is set each of these servers up with a subdomain on my domain.com. So I would have [url]going to one server, [url]going to another server, etc.
I logged into GoDaddy's Domain Manager. However, it appears that the only form of subdomains they have is redirection. So while I can create server1.domain.com, it merely redirects to [url]
I can mask the forward, but this creates problems with the login on the servers because they use cookies. In addition, the address always appears as [url], it doesn't have the "index.html" or "/login/login.aspx" when
I click links. The actual links appear as "[url] and not "[url]
Is there anything I can do? I want the subdomains to point to a particular IP address, not redirect.
"Do you support wild card sub-domains?"
a web host has sent me the following:
"Wild card sub-domains will not work with our standard shared hosting accounts. although the DNS configuration is available to have any sub domain not listed direct to an IP address the actually hosting account will not recognize a wild card DNS entry unless you have manually added the specific name of the sub domain."
The only part I understood was the first line. Maybe it is my lack of hosting related knowledge or maybe because English is not my native language, the second sentence is very confusing to me.
What is tech rep trying to say?
I'm trying to accomplish a redirect (or rewrite) of [url]to [url]
* I got DNS *.domain.com correctly pointing to my server.
* I also created a vhost.conf inside /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf, and Plesk (/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/httpd.include) is correctly including the file.
* even though I don't know if it's needed or not, I created in Plesk a new CNAME with value *.domain.com pointing to domain.com
in my vhost.conf I got:
ServerAlias *.domain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) /temp/%1/$1 [L]
when I try whatever.domain.com, I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error.
we have domains like www.test.com in that we have created the subdomain like www.image.test.com through cpanel in same server.
Now we would like to work the www.image.test.com on different server. Can you please help me to setup this.
I have a main domain "main.com" and when I make a new addon domain "new.com", it creates a new DNS Zone for "new.com" but also adds a subdomain DNS entry to
main.com "new.main.com".
I know that is very typical way that cpanel works, and I know there are ways to work around this by using .htaccess.
What I am trying to discover is if removing the "new" subdomain DNS entry under main.com could cause any problems. Are there side effects? Will this break anything within my VPS?
I have basic Html and webdesign skills other than that zilch
I am working on my assignment for uni. and wanted to know if I can create multiple sub domains when I am hosted with a webhost.
I want to be able to do the following:users can sign up and get a subdomain of their choice.
users are allocated a limited webspace
The access to file types need to be controlled. In the sense that users can only upload/download certain file types like html, htm, jpg, gif, zip etc.
Users can have forms that work only within their subdomain.
for example the domain name is www.webworld.com
the user signs up for [url] where "mysite" is the subdomain.
the user can have a form at [url]
This form should not affect the other subdomains hosted by users. Just in case someone screws up the entire site should not be down.
Is this possible? if yes, any pointers on how I can go about getting this done?
Would the webhost help with setting this up?
Any good webhost I should consider for such a setup? Any other things I should consider like data transfer / bandwidth Would this be a very expensive affair?costs?
I have a VPS (full DNS control) where I host my main site, call it mysite.com. I want to add a forum, but I'd like to host the forum elsewhere in order to separate the forum (open source, potential hack target) from the site and gain some security through encapsulation. I don't expect the forum usage to be large for the time being, and so I expect to be able to run it at just about any shared host. My question is, what do I need to do in order to transparently host forum.mysite.com with another host? Can I do this with shared hosting? Specifically, what do I need to ask my host for in order to be able to set this up? Is this a CNAME or an A record, and what do they need to do on their end for it to work? Will a shared CPanel host do this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a high-traffic domain & I want to create subdomains of this domain and point these subdomains to different servers. Each subdomain will have different content.
For eg. music.domain.com will have music relatd content, videos.domain.com will have videos etc. The purpose of this is to spread the traffic and hence reduce load on each server.
How do I create such subdomains? Creating subdomain from cpanel points to the same server. If i create subdomain from domain registrar it just points / redirects as 301 redirect to a URL I give.
