Andrew Pakula 06-26-2001, 11:14 PM I am using rack dns at the moment. huck 06-27-2001, 08:47 AM Simply put the correct IP and domain name into RackShack's DNS. Then on your server make sure that you have entered the alternate servername under server aliases. For example, you want: www.domainname1.com www.domainname2.com www.domainname3.com to all point to a single domain name. Make these changes in the DNS. The domain names should point to your Raq's IP. On your machine, put the domain names under the server aliases field. If you have email sent to these alternate domain names, be sure to put them into the email aliases field as well. Submit the changes. Note -- these domain names have to be registered and pointing to rackshack's DNS. Andrew Pakula 06-27-2001, 08:17 PM Nevermind, I figured it out a different easier way. Honu 06-27-2001, 09:21 PM Aloha so how was the easier way done? Andrew Pakula 06-28-2001, 12:45 AM Then telnet and su to root. Type "pico /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" and scroll down to bottom where your site info is. Now change DocumentRoot to the directory you want (i.e. "/home/sites/site1/web/webdesign"). Save it and then restart apache. Chicken 06-28-2001, 02:06 AM That works until you make a change in the control panel and (I believe) the CP will overwrite httpd.conf with what was there. You'd have to make this change everytime you modify something via the CP. Test this by setting up another virtual domain on the server and making a note of the changes you made and see if they stay or it writes the original path again. eriky 06-28-2001, 04:51 AM I wouldn't call it 'the easier way' too.. :) It's so much easier to enter the domain in the control panel. |
