Pointing domain2.com to sub.domain1.com

[okihost]

I have a customer who has setup a subdomain which is sub.domain.com he wants domain2.com to point to that subdomain. I have tried EVERYTHING I could think of and all posts here and have not figured it out yet.. Here is what I have the httpd.conf set like now for the subdomain tag.

<VirtualHost MY IP>
BytesLog domlogs/sub.domain.com-bytes_log
User admin1
Group admin1
ServerName domain2.org
ServerAlias sub.domain.com *.domain.com
ServerAdmin wwwadmin@domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/comprel/public_html/sub
CustomLog domlogs/sub.domain.com combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/admin1/public_html/sub/cgi-bin/
User admin1
Group admin1
</VirtualHost>

I have even tried adding an A record for domain2.com in the zone file and nothing seems to work. It looks like it has happened to people before, but none of those fixes have worked for me yet. Thanks in advance.

You can write a simple php script with 'header location' to point all the request comming to the domain to that sumdomain.

Why not edit his .htaccess file to forward to it?

Use a PHP Script with header:

pico index.php

<? header("Location:sub/index.php"); ?>
Save and Exit.

Hope this helps!

Have you tried using the 'Add-on Doman' feature in Cpanel? This is exactly what it was designed for.

If 'domain2.com' is a properly registered Domain name, then there is no problem.

Create a index.html file to put in the 1st domain that you want forwarded.

In that index file place:

<FRAMESET ROWS="*,0" FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://domain2.com/" NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>

with domain2 being where you want it to go to.

The above code should be placed in the "head" section of the html doc.

Plesk does this all for you, but not C-Panel.
