cPanel / Domain Proxy or VirtualHost

[gabrieltankw]

Dear Support,

I've installed WHM/CPanel on my VPS ip address x.x.x.x. The initial installations for both WHM and CPanel are completed. But I am facing some issues:

Is it possible to configure in the CPanel/WHM panel to set the proxy/virtualhost so that the following can be achieved:

- [URL]https://x.x.x.x:2087[/URL] accessed by whm.domain.net
- [URL]https://x.x.x.x:2083[/URL] accessed by cpanel.domain.net
- [URL]http://www.domain.net/wp[/URL] accessed by hosting.domain.net

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,
Gabriel

Hello

This is answered on the following thread:

https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/ssl-for-proxy-subdomain-or-redirection.458681/

However, note the third URL in your example is configurable with the "Redirects" option in cPanel, assuming "hosting.domain.net" is not your hostname.

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the great help.

(1) https://x.x.x.x:2087 accessed by whm.domain.net
(2) https://x.x.x.x:2083 accessed by cpanel.domain.net
(3) http://www.domain.net/wp accessed by hosting.domain.net

(1) and (2) are working now as per your advice. But I am still trying to solve the (3).

For (3), http://www.domain.net/wp is actually hosted on wordpress multi site. I wanted to be able to access http://www.domain.net/hosting/ by using the url hosting.domain.net.

I tried the following:
a) create a CNAME record of hosting.domain.net pointing to the same server ip x.x.x.x --> this works as hosting.domain.net was able to be resolved to the server ip x.x.x.x when I ping it.
b) tried to configure with "Redirect" and also "Subdomains" in CPanel but it didn't work. When I visit hosting.domain.net I get a redirect to the URL domain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi.

I tried to bypass the wordpress site by creating a dummy folder and html page inthe Document Root. Similarly I configured Subdomains to point hosting.domain.net to public_html/dummyfolder. I was redirected to the URL domain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi again...

I really need help on solving this.... :S

Hello

Ensure you use "A" records for IP addresses and CNAME entries for actual hostnames when modifying DNS records. Could you not simply create "hosting.domain.net" as a subdomain on the "domain.net" account and configure the document root accordingly?

Thank you.
