WHM Skeleton Placeholder

**MrMagoo** · 11-15-2005 06:53 AM

I'm trying to setup a simple placeholder page to go in WHM skeleton.

I would like it to display the domain name that is being visited, e.g. > Welcome to the future home of "domainname"

Is anyone doing this, and if so, what do I need to put in the page to get it to dynamically display the domain name? Thanks.

make your welcome page in php and put the code in below add any other html you choose

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>Welcome <? echo $SERVER_NAME; ?></title>

<? echo $SERVER_NAME; ?>

</body>
</html>

I tried this on my server,
but the variable $SERVER_NAME; didn't show anything/blank.

I need info what module I must turn on/install so that apache
variable can be shown/retrieve.

Thanks

Oh and now the <body> tag is missing and so does the closing tag for <HEAD>

not sure where the confusion lies for you all of the code simplits on this post works for me are you saving as as .php

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>Welcome <? echo $SERVER_NAME; ?></title>

</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" link="#3333ff" alink="#3333ff" vlink="#3333ff">
<center>

<hr width="75%" color="#0000FF">
<div align="center">
Welcome This is a place holder For 

</div>
 
<? echo $SERVER_NAME; ?>
 
 
<hr width="75%" color="#0000FF">
 

</body>
</html>

I copied your working example exactly, made an index.php file containing your code, and it still won't work. What am I doing wrong?

**dalem** · 11-16-2005 05:01 PM

not sure I just copied & pasted it directly from the forums from my last post and place it in a working domain works fine

you should be using $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] instead of $SERVER_NAME

Dear All,

I want to make clear my question.

I have many different hosting account and tested the two variable on those domain.

Some hosting can display both these apache and php variable all together, some can't.

Here is the two variable that I use:

Apache ==> $SERVER_NAME
PHP ==> $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']

My question is like this:
On the hosting that can't display the apache variable $SERVER_NAME,
how to configure (what module I must install / turn on) so that It can display apache
variable since my script need to use apache variable insteads of PHP variable.

I asked my vps hosting support and the didn't have any idea how to fix it.

I have a few hosting that can display both variable, and a few others hosting can't.

So, it must be some configuration or module issues that need to be fix to display
the apache variable.

I need guidance from some of you who may experienced with server config/module.

To put it simple, what module or config I must install / turn on so that my hosting
server can display apache variable $SERVER_NAME.

It's possible that someday you may need to run script that need this apache variable
for your customer, so I prefer to fix it now before many clients use this server.

Thanks

Hi Izzee,

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I only have control on one server only,
others that can are reseller account that I dont have any access up to that level.

I post on this topic because I also want to do the same with what MrMagoo does,
and then I found out that I can't use the apache variable like suggested on my
server and then I tested on my others hosting I have and found this interesting
fact that some could and some couldn't display the variable.

Then I post this just hoping that someone will enlighten me since my vps porvider
support, don't have any ideas to solve this issue.

Anyway thanks for the tips and the links.

Hey, thanks one and all. I used $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] and it worked first go, much appreciated.

Slightly different issue, but kinda the same… I give my clients a preview URL when they first sign up e.g. http://servername/~username/index.php - unfortunately the above place holder won't display the clients domain name on the preview URL, it will only show the servers name instead.

Has anyone found a work around for this?

Hi,

If you give the url http://servername/~username/index.php the Apache will serve the web page using the user name instead of the domain name. (The server bandwidth is consumed)
