RE: [cobalt-developers] Virtual sites sharing IP address

["Jason D. Piercy" <jdpiercy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may seem like a stupid question but here it is:

I would like to set-up a domain parking page on a virtual site where all new
domain registrations www.newdomain.com are directed to this virtual site
with a standard page with an ssi shows that www.newdomain.com is under
construction, with our logo etc on it.

If your objective is to allow the developer the ability to access the
web site prior to the time you re-point the root-level DNS (Network
Solutions, Register.com, etc), the easiest thing to do is to modify
httpd.conf like so:
(obviously xx.xx.xx.xx and www.somedomain.com should be valid and
replaced by whatever they are on your server)

NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx
##############################
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx>
ServerName www.somedomain.com
ServerAdmin admin
# To facilitate migration redirect trick
DocumentRoot /home/sites
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^xx.xx.xx.xx(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^www.somedomain.com(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://www.somedomain.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
# to facilitate access to web dirs only via migration redirect trick
AliasMatch ^/(www[^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType    text/html     .shtml
<Directory /home/sites>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
