 |
|
Hi to All ..........
I have a website says abc.com and another website says def.com.
my website def.com is on wamp and its working fine......
But now i want to add abc.com to my def.com.so that all the link for abc.com will be redirected to def.com.and the server on which abc.com is running will be shut down after the redirection is successful.that means we are not going to use the server of abc.com after the redirection.
Please suggest anything.......... what can be the better solution ............  .
Thanks in Advance.................. |

A simple way to redirect all request is a rewrite rule on the
in the vhost of abc.com
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://def.com%{REQUEST_URI}

Thanks for your immediate reply.......
well........I am not using vhosting..........
Is it good to use this name based vhosting....
also what kind of changes need to be done means over DNS...and others..
and what about contents of def.com? |

Well you don't need a vhost. vhost means virtual host. So you just could put that code into your Directory entry in your http.conf
other changed don't need to be done, if people shall see that new url.
The redirect code I posted redirects all requests to the new url.
e.g.
http://abc.com/name.ext would be redirected to http://def.com/name.ext

@james,
I don't think they realize it can be done with one server, the wamp
If you shut down the second, how does it handle the next person?
Stuff/concepts are being lost in translation I think
@sahillihas8487
what is DocumentRoot of def.com on WAMP |

thanks for your reply.............
But i think you all are not getting my question............................
I want to run both website simultaneously abc.com and def.com .My question is concerned that the webserver of abc.com is going to shut down permanently and i want to run two website through the webserver of def.com.about the document root i will copy all the content to new webserver and also to run two website i think we needt to add canonical name at the DNS level ....
can it be possible to use .htaccess for good response ...if it is then how could i do that ? |

Thank you for that, I understand.
def.com is on the wamp, you will use DNS to point abc.com to the same server (the wamp). You will use VHosts as well.
I still need to know what the DocumentRoot on the wamp is for def.com, I do not know the the wamp file system layout exactly and it is needed to set it all up.
You do know you could have both sites on the one server yes? |

on the wamp..document root is for def.com....
for abc .com i will have to mention document root in vhost configuration.and need to copy all the items to that specified folder.............so that when somebody access the abc.com then the content will serve from abc.com document root (in vhost configuration) which is on the same webserver of def.com.................. |

in DNS point abc.com to the wamp servers IP
conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
| Code: | NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
# this is why I wanted to know the DocumentRoot for def.com which
# you've refused to give, make it work with what is there
DocumentRoot "/same/path/as/def.com"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@abc.com
DocumentRoot "/some/path/to/abc.com"
ServerName www.abc.com
ServerAlias abc.com
ErrorLog "logs/abc.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/abc.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost> |
in conf/httpd.conf down near the bottom of the file remove the comment (#) from the beginning of this line
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf |
