how do i set this up properly? i have a domain dat.co.nz www.dat.co.nz goes too the main website i have a directory called /something www.dat.co.nz/something - works now, how do i make a domain like test.dat.co.nz foward too www.dat.co.nz/somthing??? i have tried using the foward option under the co-domains section in the users site but when i type in test.dat.co.nz it goes too the main site - www.dat.co.nz instead of www.dat.co.nz/something ? how can i fix this up? in the co-domains i have set test.dat.co.nz to foward too http://www.dat.co.nz/something, and many others (with and without http:// with and without www.) - what am i doing wrong in ispconfig? how can i do this manually?
anyone know how i can setup a http redirect for a co-domain manually? or why isnt ispconfig's working? even if i ask it too foward too google.com it doesnt work.... any suggestions?
How do I redirect visitors from my old site to my new site? You can get visitors from your old site to come to your new site in one of three ways: You can simply leave a message on your old site with a link to your new site. You can put in a meta tag (a special piece of HTML code) that will automatically redirect users from your old website to your new web site. The code looks like this: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=THENEWURL"> Where "1" is the number of seconds until the redirect occurs and "THENEWURL" is the URL of your website (e.g. "http://www.abc.com/"). Don't forget to include the "http://" part of the URL or the code won't work. that will do the trick...lol
ISPConfig can only act as a domain if you designate it ONLY as a domain server. So if you want to have both domain forwarding AND a server you will need two separate servers with two different IP's. n1kol1s has a good suggestion. This is an easy way to redirect people to your new site Or you can get domain forwarding from a service. It is only a couple dollars per year and a more permanant solution. 1and1 cheap domain forwarding also 1and1 automatically forwards sites with and without "www"
Did you have a look at chapter 2.3.2 here: http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/manual_en/manual_kunde_en_src.htm#4_2_3 There are also other ways of redirecting, for example with PHP's header() function or like this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/manual_en/manual_kunde_en_src.htm#4_2_3 doesnt work, as ive said, ive already tried doing this as pre manuals instructions but its not working, when i type in something.domain.com its supposed too foward too domain.com/something why isnt this working? how can i set this manually? i dont want too have too create multiple individual sites for each co domain please, i would like one site with multi codomains going too directories inside the main site, very simple stuff, as i said i dont want too create multiple sites just for redirects, why isnt the fowarding working? how can i set this manually or at least check some cfg files for it
Can you post the vhost configuration of that web site from Vhosts_ispconfig.conf here? Any errors in Apache's error log?
If you use an apache server you could do it like this: 1. create the file ".htaccess" within your root web folder (where normaly index.html should be). 2. add the following line to .htaccess: redirect permanent / http://www.dat.co.nz/somthing 3. save and you're ready
what about having subdomains just work off the bat without forcing a rewrite? I want requests for sub.domain.xyz to return content from /var/www/www.domain.xyz/web/sub, but I don't want the URL to show "domain.xyz/sub", I want it to read "sub.domain.xyz". at the moment I have the subdomain setup as a co-domain, and the forward is set to "sub". Not the desired outcome though.
