RE: [cobalt-users] DNS Wildcards

["ASU Service" <asuservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please disregard .... got it working. If your in a similar situation as I
described. Just rem the Rewrite and AliasMatch lines of the virtual site
you're working with.

NOTE ... this screws up the Personal User Pages Cobalt sets up when you
create a virtual site. They can still be accessed if you note and/or
bookmark the user settings pages prior to changing the lines I mentioned.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Hi All,
I'm really new to all this and appreciate all the great info from everyone.

I'm working on this issue of the Wildcard DNS & followed the directions here
but it didn't work. I believe the original thread was referring to a Raq3
... I'm have a Raq2 & I assume this procedure should be the same ... is that
correct? When I tried this it didn't work for me. The "$INCLUDE" line didn't
go in ... I tried entering it manually but still no go.

We did find a work around that seems to have worked "kinda" ... anytime I
enter whatever.mydomain.com it will go to www.mydomain.com but I am using a
script that redirects whatever.mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com/whatever but
this is the part that isn't working. I can see the script is doing it's job
because it creates a framed page to handle the redirection and when I view
source the code is from the script. It just seems to not grab the subdomain
name.

I have tried two different scripts to achieve this and got the same results.
I have used this script on many servers with great success so I think there
is something I'm not getting set correctly.

I saw that it was mentioned by Kelly that he's trying to do the same thing I
am. I did try a direct email to him but haven't received a reply so I
thought I'd throw it out here in the hopes someone has else has had success
getting this to work.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi,
I don't think you can do it from the Web based GUI.  I just6 enabled this a
few days a go and it worked great.  Here is how I did it-

su root
cd /etc/named
ls
touch pri.domain.com.include
pico pri.domain.com.include
# Add this line in pri.domain.com.include
*.domain.com.    in      cname   wherever.com.
# then restart DNS
/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart
pico pri.domain.com
# make sure a line was added that looks like this-
# $INCLUDE pri.domain.com.include
# If you don't see that then go to Web Based GUI and click on "Control Panel
> DNS Parameters" then click "Save Changes To DNS Server then Click "Save
Changes" at the bottom of the main control Panel Screen.

Then whatever.domain.com will go to wherever.com.
Hope this helps,
Chris
