Hi Admins

I have registered here with domain urja.zzl.org

My registered domain is urja.uni.cc

I have used a free DNS server to handle those records since I want MX records also

I want to host my site here

I can create a A name record with the IP address of urja.zzl.org (I think 74.86.20.181)

Can u please configure to to accept urja.uni.cc

If that is not possible please reply

Thanks in advance

Pradeep

I tried this a while back on one of my domains and the backend doesn't recognise it.

Afraid it's not possible as of yet, if I get a spare moment in the weekend I'll look into it.

Thanks a lot .... Please do it This one is a cool hosting site I wont like 2 miss it

Hi Bread

M not at all an expert in this stuff but I hope this helps. Of course I have googled this stuff

The stuff mentioned below is for Debian Machines but I think dat would work fine for other distros as well.
I assume U r runnng Apache with VIRTUAL HOST

In order to allow sites like uni.cc which I think the admins now have 2 add manually support for "A record" is probably a better option as that can be automated as well.

Steps

1. Let say you want to be able to map the domain name urja.uni.cc to zymic hosting site using the code file in /home/public_html/urja.zzl.org/

While in /etc/apache2/sites-available, create a new file (let say uni.cc.conf)

2.
Now add the following lines:

<VirtualHost dev.example.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
#We want to be able to access the web site using www.urja.uni.cc or urja.uni.cc
ServerAlias www.urja.uni.cc
DocumentRoot /home/public_html/urja.zzl.org
#if using awstats
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
#we want specific log file for this server
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/uni.cc-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Note: I m not sure but in the file above I suppose you can add many subdomains of uni.cc in ServerAlias
Check http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=93928

3. Inorder to to create a link to the repository where APACHE actually looks for virtual hosts. Go to
$cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

4. Create a link to the file we just created:
$sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/uni.cc.conf uni.cc.conf

5. I suppose we need to reload Apache after that
$sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload


Cheers
My fingers crossed

Hi Pradeep,

I appreciate the requirement for this, our backend uses a custom written engine to handle domains so it's not quite as easy as just adding a virtual host, most of it is controlled through mysql databases so it is very different to a standard installation.

Not being the author of the backend I'm not completely sure to how it delegates domain -> hosted directory yet. When I have looked into it and understand how it ticks, I do not wish to have a solution for just one site, I'd like it to be possible to do it for any number of sites without much hassle.

The uni.cc and other domains problem is a different issue, these do not work because the backend performs a whois check on the domains and the tld '.uni.cc' does not have an integrated whois database, just a website, so it does not see that the name servers are in fact set.

Hope that clears it up a little.

Hi Bread

Its really nice of U 2 clear it for me. Although I had read the issue in other posts abt whois resolution issue.

So is it possible in the near future that I can host my domain here.

Please lemme kno if i can b of some help as I already said m not an expert but I think I can google quite well n kno a negligible bit of UNIX

Kip me informed
Thanks again

Pradeep
