Pointing my local /etc/hosts domains to an ip

view full story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm testing a new server and have been playing with /etc/hosts. I have been able to get it working on just domain.com, but if I try www.domain.com it points to where the actual domain is currently delegated, not the testing server. ie xxx.xx.xx.xx domain.com If I load domain.com, I get the ip address I enter. With this though I enter www.domain.com I get where the domain is currently hosted. if I try: xxx.xx.xx.xx www.domain.com I still end up with where the domain is currently hosted and not the test server. What am I missing here? (HowTos)

DNS for a subdomain 41 weeks 2 days ago

I have: - two DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 - domain name: domain.com pointed to 1.1.1.1

I want to point sub domain: sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2 (obviously www.sub.domain.com too)

on 1.1.1.1 I've create a DNS A record pointing sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2

accessing sub.domain.com now lead to 2.2.2.2 successfully

the problem is the DNS records on 2.2.2.2 such as CNAME www do not work means access

redirecting domain to a folder 40 weeks 2 days ago

i have a domain www.mydomain.com. it is hosted in apache.

when i hit this domain, it takes me to apache default page.

Here's a quick summary of the environment I support: we have a domain (domain A) that has about 20 client computers. The domain server for this domain and all the clients sit within the network infrastructure of a larger domain (domain B). All the computers get their network settings via DHCP from domain B's servers.

All of the names currently point to the same web server folder which is correct. That is, the domain.net, domain.org, etc all work without redirecting to the main .com

How do I get visits to the .org and .net to redirect the browser to domain.com?

This should be basic, but I am can't figure out the best approach.

DNS setup on Centos 6 VPS 6 weeks 1 day ago

Hello,

After reading through SPF: Project Overview and a few other posts on here I was hoping someone could help me work out why SPF isnt working.

On my domain I have a txt record of - "v=spf1 a mx a:host1.domain a:host2.domain a:host3.domain a:mobile.domain a:laptop.domain -all"

In cPanel SPF is Enabled and it has the following SPF value - "v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:<Server Pu

Sub Domain Setup fails 32 weeks 3 days ago

I want to add the Sub Domain to a working Domain so it becomes test.domain.co.uk. From Cpanel, I have set up the Sub Domain and it created the folder /public_html/test I set up an DNS A record for test.domain.co.uk as well, although I am not sure if this is needed?

SSL cert for add on domains. 1 year 6 weeks ago

If I set up a main domain called DOMAIN.COM, then underneath that I have 5 other subdomains added as "add on" domains, for example:

APP1.DOMAIN.COM APP2.DOMAIN.COM APP3.DOMAIN.COM APP4.DOMAIN.COM APP5.DOMAIN.COM

Then I want to give the main domain and the sub domain an SSL certificate.

Do I need to buy ONE SSL cert or 5? (I would assume 5).

What about IP address?
