Re: [cobalt-users] Domain Name Forwarding on a Raq3



I'm looking into having one primary domain and forwarding five others to
the web space for that domain. I'm assuming that this is not possible
through the Raq interface and that I would have to edit some of the
underlying Apache files.

Perfecly possible (with no editing of files) on a RaQ4 (you did not say which model you had!) you just add the other site URL's (including www. - i.e. not just the domain name) as web server aliases on the main site you want them forwarding to (its under Site Settings).

So if the main site was:

 IP Address: 111.222.111.222
 Host Name: www
 Domain Name: domain.com

You would then add:

 Web Server Aliases: www.domain2.com, www.domain3.com, www.domain4.com

You can also add the extra domains as email server aliases if you want to accept email for them but then you would normally just add as:

 Email Server Aliases: domain2.com, domain3.com, domain4.com

(Unless you were bothered about also receiving mail as user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as well as user@xxxxxxxxxxx?)

On a RaQ3 you only have the option of accept mail for domain - this means you can only tell it (via the GUI) to respond to requests for: http://www.domain.com or http://domain.com (but for the same domain name).

Thanks...
