How to resolve issue... Amazon ec2, elastic IP setup with Route 53 not working?

http://serverfault.com – In this post it says its best to use CNAME only for Ec2 / route 53 setup: EC2/Route53: How do I assign my new domain name to an instance?. However, I added: *.mysite.org. CNAME ec2-174-129-38-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com. ...to my Route 53 DNS config and *www.*mysite.org works but mysite.org does not and the site 301's to non-www (mysite.org) so essentially nothing works. Am I missing something? I guess I DO need an A record to the elastic IP? (HowTos)

Is it possible to have more that one CNAME for amazon web services S3 web site?

In docs it is said that bucket name should be equal CNAME.

mysite.com and www.mysite.com as aliaces do I need to create two buckets? It's so strange.

I'm hosting my first site on Azure. After much trial and error, I got mysite.com to come up, but not if it's pre-fixed with www (getting a 404).

Here are my DNS settings:

A Records:

@ 1.2.3.4

ftp 1.2.3.4

www 1.2.3.4

CNAME

awverify awverify.mysite.azurewebsites.net

When I ping 1.2.3.4, the requests time out. How can I get www.mysite.com to resolve?

I have a subdomain of my site pointed to a rails app at mysite.herokuapp.com. I bought a certificate from godaddy and seem to have that all set up correctly.

I have transfered my DNS to Route 53 and currently use an alias record to point my www.domain.com and domain.com to my Elastic Load Balancer.

Both work great but my problem is when I try to use an htaccess file to redirect non-www to www. It just fails DNS lookup and errors out when I visit domain.com and get re-routed to www.domain.com, going straight to www.domain.com works still.

I am trying to setup a loadBalancer on AWS. The A-Record it gave me looks like myLoadBalancer-**********.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com however when i try to put that in my domain registrars A-Record, i get an errorIP address is not valid.

Hi i have a website as www.mysite.com and it has following pages www.mysite.com/news www.mysite.com/photo www.mysite.com/download

how can i point news.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/news photo.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/photo download.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/download

I have cpanel and shell access to my hosting.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

DNS records 3 years 19 weeks ago

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about DNS records within the DNS service.

I have Server A which hosts www.mysite.com

I want to create and host a site on Server B, but configure it to: www.mysite.com/theSiteAtServerB

TheSiteAtServerB is a completely different site from www.mysite.com and is on a completely different server but the client wants to use www.mysite.com and serve the content for TheSiteServerB under the same url.

Is this at all possible?

I have edited my apache vhost file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.mysite.cn ServerAlias mysite.cn *.mysite.cn DocumentRoot /home/user/static/mysite/cn </VirtualHost>

It still points to the default site on the server when i browse to mysite.cn but when i enter anything along the lines of ww3.mysite.cn it point to the new correct
