Masking URL

Edit the httpd.conf:
For the entry for the add-on domain. There will be a ServerName field. Make it as:
===============================
ServerName www.addon.com
===============================
Get to me if that dosen't fix.

 

almost the same problemso I post it in this thread

got a domain: domain.com
and a add-on domain: addon.com
that's pointed to a subdomain: sub.domain.com

I do'nt want my visitors to be able to access the site via the subdomain, but force them to use the addon domain.

Can this be done too? (note: I don't have access to the httpd.conf)

thanks in advance

 

it can be done .. you need to put a .htaccess file that will over-write the url.

but say the provision is there at the control panel itself i suppose.. just have a dig there.

 

well, I've managed to solve it a couple of hours ago, with the mod rewrite (thus .htaccess). Couldn't post it sooner, sorry 'bout that.

Thx anyway linux-image

Just for future info (you never know who might have the same problem), I'll give my solution here

Put this in the .htaccess file located at the subdomains folder

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.domain.com$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[url]www.subdomain.domain.com[/url]$ 
RewriteRule .* [url]http://otherdomain.com/[/url] [r]

 

thanks grefix

happy to know that the issue is fixed.
