RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ4R Deleted Domain

["Richard at Quarryhouse" <dns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right. I put the # marks by the side and restarted. There are no entries
anywhere on my GUI relating to spi-tek.com. If I do a dir in the "sites"
directory, it is still listed there. I cannot make out which site number it
is as it is not formatted well enough. Next step is........

TIA

something like:
>>NameVirtualHost 212.74.122.212
>><virtualHost> 212.74.122.212
>>Servername www.spi-tek.com
>>and ends...
>></virtualHost>

Okay, we've found your anomaly then. Wahoo!
To backup this file from the command line as root, type:
cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak
There's a space in between those two paths, you can just copy/paste
it straight out of this email. This will give you a copy of the
httpd.conf file named httpd.conf.bak that you can use later if
something goes wrong.

Now, I'd be really interested in seeing the middle part of that
VirtualHost entry. Specifically, lines like these:
DocumentRoot /home/sites/site16/web
ServerAlias www.somedomain.com somedomain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}         !^212.74.122.212(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}         !^www.somedomain.com(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)             http://www.somedomain.com/$1 {L,R]

What I want to know is, what domain is it pointing to? Do all of
these lines reflect spi-tek.com, or some other domain?
IF they reflect another domain (including the DocumentRoot line
pointing to the correct site folder), then do this:
Change the line that reads Servername www.spi-tek.com
to the domain that the other lines point to:
Servername www.somedomain.com

IF they all point to www.spi-tek.com, then you can put pound signs in
front of EVERY line from <virtualhost> to </virtualhost>, including
those two lines themselves. This will render those lines useless, and
the domain that responds to the IP addy 212.74.122.212 will be the
NEXT <virtualhost> entry. If you want it to be some other domain
rather than the next one, then simply CUT that domain's virtualhost
entry out and move it up so that it is right underneath the
NameVirtualHost 212.74.122.212 line.

Now save the file (in Pico this is CTRL-X, Y for yes, and ENTER) and
restart the web server by typing:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Fire up a browser and go to the IP addy and see what comes up. If it
works as you intended, then you can go back into httpd.conf and
delete those lines that we just put a pound sign in front of, and
save the file again.

Don't be nervous. With your backup file, you can always erase your
changes with a simple command line:
cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

This is rule #1 when working 'under the hood'. Always CYA and make a
backup!  :)
