To allow a hosted domain to have a less clunky name (ie blah.cat.org.au instead
of www.cat.org.au/blah), you could try the following:
1.On conway:
In the file: /etc/apache/httpd.conf
#copy a slab of code there and edit:
<VirtualHost 203.53.14.41>
ServerName blah.cat.org.au
ServerAlias www.blah.cat.org.au
DocumentRoot /www/blah/
ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
/VirtualHost
#save
restart with:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
2.Now on diesel:
use sudo to edit /etc/bind/cat.org.au
This is the zone file for cat.org.au. If the group had their own name (eg.
sheila.org.au) they would have their own zone file created instead.)
#Now add
blah IN CNAME www
to the bottom of the list of aliases under the heading
; Aliases for Virtual Web Hosting
;
After you've edited this, you need to update the Serial number. (It's
order is yearmonthdayversion.
2002012001 ; Serial
(This was edited once on the 20th jan, 2002)
sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
Then check it's all okay with NSLOOKUP alias
If you have any probs, check the edited files.
safari (at) cat.org.au
