Have been searching for hours but still no fix...

[HollyRidge]

I cant for the life of me get this thing to work properly. I have uploaded the scripts just as they are into the public_html directory. This included the index.php, .htaccess, myred directory (ands its contents). I have wildcard dns enabled (yes I do this all the time) and I have added wildcard alias to httpd.conf file as well. Still no luck! If it helps I am on a cpanel server (I have tried 2 different ones, same result).

Here shows files are there...

Code: Select all

root@cp1fc1 [/home/domain/public_html]# ls -al
total 28
drwxr-x---  4 domain nobody  4096 Mar 14 19:21 ./
drwx--x--x  7 domain domain 4096 Mar 14 18:35 ../
drwxr-xr-x  2 domain domain 4096 Mar 14 18:35 cgi-bin/
-rw-r--r--  1 domain domain   74 Mar 14 18:33 .htaccess
-rw-r--r--  1 domain domain 5071 Mar 14 19:21 index.php
drwxr-xr-x  6 domain domain 4096 Mar 14 18:39 myred/
root@cp1fc1 [/home/domain/public_html]#

Here is a sample entry in httpd.conf...

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
ServerAlias domain.com *.domain.com

CustomLog domlogs/domain.com combined

</VirtualHost>

Here is a sample entry of dns zone...

Code: Select all

www.*.domain.com.   14400   IN      A       12.34.56.78

To add everything is working and resolving fine. When trying to access a subdomain created with this it goes to the "Your "real" startpage:" setting from the admin configuration like it doesnt even exist.

A url would help ???

[HollyRidge]

Providing a url is basically useless because the only access to the url has to come from our network. We have it set that way as we use this domain for our development work. This is why I explained exactly what it was doing and provided all the information as to its settings, etc..

u dont need *.domain.com or www.*.domain.com as an A record

just put * 14400 IN A 12.34.56.78

[HollyRidge]

Scooby,

The www.*.domain.com was something I added to make sure it worked both with and with the www in front.

Now as for the "*.domain.com. IN A 12.34.56.78" is the correct way for dns record however either way will work. What I am having is not a dns issue as it goes to the domain fine. Just the redirection does not work. What ever I put in the browser goes to the page listed in the admin configuration of the myred redirection under "Your "real" startpage:" whether it exist or it doesnt. That setting supposed to be for (according to the configuration setting) in case the subdomain actually does not exist in the redirection service. It goes to it even if the subdomain does exist in the redirection instead of forwarding to the proper location.

For example I created google.domain.com to forward to google.com and it still goes to the page listed there just as if it didnt exist in the redirection service.

[Scooby]

What do your logs show ?

[HollyRidge]

Right now as you can also tell by the log entry I have the default page set to /myred/register.php. By reading the instructions that means it should go to the register page if the subdomain doesnt exist in the redirection. The problem here again is that it goes there even if it does exist. It never forwards to the url it supposed to.

Code: Select all

1.2.3.4 - - [15/Mar/2005:18:37:39 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 5 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"
1.2.3.4 - - [15/Mar/2005:18:37:39 -0500] "GET /myred/register.php HTTP/1.1" 200 3849 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

Also just to clearify that it isnt a browser issue, I have tried 2 different browsers. Both MSIE6 and Firefox have the same result.

I really want to get this thing to work but it just wont. Its probably something simple somewhere however for the life of me I can not find it.

[HollyRidge]

I just tested on an ensim based server and same result. Obviously I am missing something here somewhere that needs to be done however I still can not find it.

[Guest]

Anyone??

[pierre]

I just had the same problem; all my subdomains were redirected to the main page; I eliminated my http alias and now work fine
