Help with Cnames/Vhosts... (Redirects)

How can we make it so http://control.mainsite.tld links to https://mainsite.tld:8080?
I think I can use a vhost and a meta redirect but im not sure...

 

That's easy.
Create a subdomain control.mainsite.tld
Choose "R,L" or "R=301,L" as redirect type.
Enter https://mainsite.tld:8080/ into the redirect path field.
You're done

 

Thanks

Thanks. Just testing that now. Do I need a cname record?

 

That depends on your dns settings.
If you have already a host "*" A record, you don't need a cname. Otherwise you do.

 

Seems to not be working

Followed your advice and created a "*" A record. and also created the subdomain. Doesnt seem to be working? How can i troubleshoot this?

 

Remember that dns settings take up to 24 hours to propagate to all dns servers.

You can check it on a linux console with

Code:

host -a subdomain.yourdomain.com

 

Thanks

All working now! Thanks!
