The next chapter!
Hi all..
Was wondering if we ever got to the bottom of the
web redirection issue that I was asking about?
To recap :-
I am hosting lots of sites on a name based
virtual site basis.
I have been asked to register 40+ domains to our
nameserver.
I dont really want to give them all sites on the
Raq2 (waste of space), but thought instead that I would make ONE site and
redirect all the requests for the other domains to this one site.
Ok - this is what I have tried so
far:
1. Bunging a Redirect into
httpd.conf
2. Putting CNAME's into the DNS server config
along with the domain > ip A record.
3. Putting CNAME's into the DNS server along with
all the normal records.
4. Attempted to do a bungled redirect mask in the
actual virtual server record in httpd.conf
I am now thinking that maybe I should not be
attempting to redirect a site that is allready on the machine and that
redirects should only be done with domains that do not have a site on my box
so as not to confuse apache.
However - this may be completely off track of
course (grin) , I have had lots of suggestions from you guys but we still seem
to be off the mark a little.. I am sure that this is perfectly feasable to do,
and can't beleieve that it may be a RAQ issue casusing the redirects not to
work :)
