I have read about addon domains but I have still one doubt regarding same. Suppose I have buy two domains which have no any relationship with each other like one is of my family (viralshah3112andfamily.com) and one is for my uncle's business site (xyz.com) . Now if I host them in one account as addon domain, both will have different identity? Means both will have different URL like xyz.com and viralshah3112andfamily.com. Is it so?
View 8 RepliesI 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?
Been browsing the site and would value your opinions.
Addon domains are supplied by some webhosts and not others, one of the hosts who does not supply any addon domains puts across a good argument that they can overload a server if they get out of control.
How do others apparently manage these with no problems?
When I try to addon a domain, i always got this error message.
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 76.74.137.77,76.74.137.135 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameser
always getting this error when I try to addon a domain to a main account
The domain is correctly pointing to my ip's as well..
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 am not a reseller, but I currently use a reseller account to manage several separate sites of mine. I know that it is possible under a standard cPanel account to have addon domains, where the html files go in a subfolder of the main domain. If you do this:
- is it possible for people to access the addon site files using www.maindomain/addondomain, and if so can you stop this?
- do you still get separate email addresses and spamassassin settings for the addon domain?
- do you get separate web server logs for each domain, for stats?
- is there any other reason why it might still be better to pay more for a reseller account so that each site can be managed completely separately?
Does GoDaddy support addon domains (like assigning www.domainname.com to a DIR on your site)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a shared hosting account. VPS or dedicated is not an option.
I use CPanel.
For example, www .maindomain. com is the primary domain associated with the hosing account.
When adding subdomains or addon domains, a new directory is created in the public_html directory of my hosting account.
These new directories hold all the files for the sub domains and addon domains.
My problem is that the directory that holds the subdomain or addon domain CAN BE accessed from:
[url]
or
www .maindomain. com/addon_domain_directory/
thus,
www .addon_domain. com can be accessed from it's own URL as well as
www .maindomain. com/addon_domain_directory/
Is there a solution that DOES NOT allow this to happen?
If my main domain could have it's own directory under public_html, that would be great, but I do not know if this is possible.
A directory structure like this:
-public_html
-maindomain
-subdomain
-addon domain
I have a reseller account in WHM and CPANEL.
With that I have a range of sites under it created in Cpanel under addon domains.
Everything works fine, then suddenly everything goes down, and all leads to the main site.
Reason is, it shows all the domains in Cpanel as parked!
Even removing them from there or WHM causes it to dissappear from the addon section and not show up online.
Now it happened months ago where httpd.conf file had to be edited manually.
And it just happened about 30hrs ago.
Does anyone know why this would happen? I have asked my datacentre 3 times, with no clear answer about it, except it just does.
How can it be prevented in future?
Also asked my datacentre this with no answer.
Will be putting up a review of them soon, and it will be the complete opposite of what I thought of them before.
I mean create addon domains inside the same directory like cpanel do with H-Sphere?
So you can access the site in both URLS like sub section of your main site and same as its own domain.
MainBigSite.com/MusicSite
MusicSite.com
So you can show like MusicSite.com also a part of MainBigSite when user go through MainBigsite.com direct users from google can go with MusicSite.com
Using that MainBigSite.com will get lot of pages indexed in google coz its hwoing URLs of MusicSite.com too.
If there is no option to do that or any way to change H-Sphere, Can you please tell me how to do it manually? What files to edit and steps?
After i did that it will cause problems with H-Sphere?
I'm trying to understand more the Pro's and Con's for having an Addon Domain vs Separate domain.
Here's my use for it. Site1.com holds all the files, Site2.com holds all the video and images. When it comes time to add a second server (end of this year) I could move Site2.com to a second server and nfs mount it. Thats of the site is separate. PROBLEM: separate site means permission problems, when write code ie.php you can unlink / move files without permission which means setting up special groups.
Addon domain doesn't have the permission problem from what I can see, since the domain gets the group access of the Mainsite. so no extra configuration required. now the problem would be how do I get that addon domain to a second server to offload some of the resources.
I hawe about 60 websites. I need hosting for it.
SO the criterias:
Unlimited addon domain.
Unlimited Mysql databases.
No setup fees.
About 600Mb webspase
About 2000-3000 trafic
Cheap as posible
If posible (but not necesary) multiple IP's.
Payment from PayPal but if it's necesarry then it's Moneybookers ok to.
Prefer monthly payments.
If posible than MySQLi suport will be great.
Lets say I have abcd.com as the main domain on cpanel. abcd.com has 10 subdomains.
Basically what I want to do is when I do an addon domain or parked domain I want the subdomains to basically point to abcd.com automatically. Let's say the addon/parked
domain is 1234.com
For example I have
sub.abcd.com as the main subdomain
so when I type in sub.1234.com I want it pointed to sub.abcd.com internally meaning the script/files from there however in the browser show as if it were sub.1234.com
I bought a certificate for www.mydomain.com and I'm using the .key+.csr on DirectAdmin (to [url])
If I want to use this same .key+.csr combination to [url], would I have any problem?
I have an ssl issued from my domain company and i have hosting in another company.
I have created an CSR with my hosting, submitted to mine domain company so i can have the ssl, and installed in my hosting company.
But now i want to change mine hosting because the hosting company doesn't accept chained certificates..
So if i change mine hosting i could mantain mine old ssl ? or what does i need to do?
i need information about this option 'Check /etc/cron.daily/logrotate for /tmp noexec workaround', there are in the server check, of the csf test, someone can explain to me about this function? should do it?
the actually state is 'warning'.
Can a domain have two set of users.... let me explain the situation.
mydomain.com has a set of users which have admins etc etc.
can i have sub.mydomain.com with the same set of users, with different admin and restricted access to certain level.
1- What means that the site has an IP?, what will differ if the site has an IP?
2- What is the importance of IPs for every site?, I mean now I'm running a shared hosting, Should each site has it's dedicated IP? and is it dangerous to make all clients has same IP?
3- I got 5 IPs with my server, how can I assign a DEDICATED IP for my main site, and then assign the 2nd 2 IPs for my main site Name servers & Finally assign the rest IPs for Resellers?
4- In the domaintools whois Service, Under Server Data category, sometimes I found :
Dedicated Hosting: domain.com is hosted on a dedicated server.
what this means, and how can I make my domain looks like this , cause it's already hosted on a dedicated server.
5- When I asked my Server Co. about extra IPs, they told me:
" for smaller allocations its $1 per ip, we also require full ARIN IP justification." so, what's ARIN IP justification?
I'm interested in making a site which would stream video game (RPG) audio to users through flash. I have long searched for a service that I could use to listen to that odd track from final fantasy 8 for example (and not some cheap midi) without going through hundreds of links etc. So I'm thinking of making one myself.
I know there are sites that host mass video game mp3s (gh.ffshrine.org) and also remix and host video game music (ocremix.org) but I don't know if what they are doing is OK by normal hosting standards.
if it is, <snipped>.
I have a question regarding, hard drives and performance etc... I only use it for forums and currently is only one site (hopefully couple more in no time)
Currently I have 2x36gb SAS in raid 1 obviously containing everything including dbs and /home. and a third 250gb drive for backups only ^^ Ronny did an excelent job setting this up.
Any ways, my problem is that I wan't to allow some attachments on my forums, and this would take a significant ammount of space over 1gb no problem and then keep increasing (that's gonna sux for bandwidth). I know it will fit in the SAS drives no problems, dbs are rather small at the time (2.5gb in total) but logs are quite big 5-10gbs in total.
I thought it might be a good idea to purchase another drive. This 4th drive would be 750 and backups would move there , and use the 250 for the /home directory. This would give a lot of room for uploads, and backups accordingly and keep the fast ones for OS and dbs
I was told, however, and understandebly, that a lot of performance would be lost by moving /home to a SATA drive I know SATAS are no way as fast, but then vbulletin can't upload attach files to a folder outside its hirachy (without complicated modifications).
(Note: i didn't specify my resons for wanting such set up)
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Having the bigger drive would allow me to have the attachments, and should eventually result on more traffic etc to my site. /home currently is only 150mbs big... but then performance is also an issue pitty i couldn't afford the bigger drices at the time [sees the point of renting over buydowns now]
is there a way that /var/log/httpd saves those massive logs on another drive? it would free up 5-10gbs
in shortIs moving /home to a SATA drive from Raid 1 SAS a bad idea? (considering space and purpose)
Could httpd logs or /var/log in general be moved to the backup/another drive?
Currently I am using rsync to backup directory and mysqldump sql file on both external and internal backup drive
Now the directory has around 100,000 files that hardly change. Only thing that happens in that directory is either the old files are deleted or new files are added. All of them image
Due to some reason when i rsync using any of the two commands below, it transfer each and every file again rather then transferring the new or updated files.
Here is what i am currently using
rsync -avH /old/path /destination/path (this is for internal backup drive)
or
rsync -avz -e ssh /old/path username@username.remoteaddress:/destination/path
why all my files in the directory all uploaded again
I have a Cpanel box, in WHM I used the "PHP Configuration Editor" and changed the php execution time (minor change). After clicking save I now get the following error on any php using sessions:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp /sess_1d374c43a0f726cd43776f9f92485bec, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/continou/public_html/control/index.php on line 4
One thing I noticed it did was turn on PHPSuexec which generally causes problems for me. I turned that off and the error response changed slightly (to above) but the problem is not solved.
I tried rebooting the server. /tmp does exist, I am now rebuilding apache in hopes that corrects the problem.
I've got a vps running centos 5.3 on an openvz platform. I've been using a simple set of iptables rules but recently the host moved me to a new server and I'm having issues with my firewall. I'm pretty sure it's the firewall since if I stop iptables or flush the rules everything works properly.
my rules:
Code:
!/usr/bin/env iptables-restore
*filter
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
The last rule continues with all the other used protocols (pop3/dns/http/etc)
The problem is incoming connections with should be allowed from by the related,established rule aren't permitted. If I use wget,ftp,ping, or dig from my shell they all report a time out. For example dig w3.org gives no server reachable. If I capture all dns requestes with tcpdump I see the outgoing request to dns and I see the incoming data but dig still reports a timeout. Since tcpdump sits before iptables and I have no output filtering it seems that my input filter isn't seeing the related/established state of dig and allowing the results in.
But, what's the solution? Do I need to ask the vps provider for something specific? If so what?
Or is there a better way to write my iptables rules to compensate for this problem?
I'm using .htaccess file and mod_auth_mysql for protection of a site, where the old users are in flat passwd file and the new ones are in DB, so i need both the standart .htpasswd check and if the user is not there check in the mysql DB
well here is how currently my htaccess file looks:
------------------------
AuthName "Password Protected Pages"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/edited/.htpasswd
<limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</limit>
AuthMySQLAuthoritative Off
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthMySQLHost domain-removed.com
AuthMySQLDB username-removed
AuthMySQLUser user-removed
AuthMySQLPassword edited
AuthMySQLUserTable members
AuthMySQLNameField username
AuthMySQLPasswordField password
AuthMySQLPwEncryption none
AuthMySQLUserCondition "status=1 AND siteid=2"
require valid-user
----------------
but the site doesn't accept neither the flat passwd file users, neither the ones from the nats DB, it just pop-ups the password dialog box again, whicih means that the password is not accepted
For the users i tested with i double checked that they DO exist in the htpasswd file or in the DB, so its not that
also, cause the site and the DB are on different servers, i have authorised the first one to query the mysql db at the second, so its not from that as well
i have removed the sensitive information (domains, users and passwords from the sample code i pasted here)
so...i'm totally lost here and any directions or ideas will be highly apprecicated
