Seperate www url from http url to use both urls with different script

Hello there,

I would like to install a multiuser Wordpress in the http:// part of the Domain and another script (Link Directory) in the www part.

Using www indeed as an own Subdomain. So that I can use http://domain.tld/wp-admin for users to create their subdomain blogs while the http://www.domain.tld/ shows my directory.

I would LOVE to see a redirect of some kind from only the http://domain.tld to http://www.domain.tld/ if that would be possible.

Is there any chance that I can have this somehow working in cPanel.. any ideas?

Kind regards

 

I just had a 'working' solution as it seemed.

PHP:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.tld$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/www/
RewriteRule (.*) /www/$1

Wordpress worked and the domain also showed the content of the folder www ... but sadly the linkdirectory didn't worked that way it seemed.

So i am still looking for a solution that would allow me to use www really like a subdomain.

 

I had the urge to dig a bit more and I had found that there was a possible solution where the subdomain configs are stored and I had tried my luck in creating a testsubdomain to see whats the content of these files, to modify it to create a subdomain www...

Using WinSCP and going to /var/cpanel/userdata/username
Every file was modified to add the www subdomain
and the domain.tld/domain.tld.cache was modified that the serveralias was changed from www.domain.tld to domain.tld ....

After a apache restart, I had indeed a www subdomain in my cpanel that could be edited.

But as the Skript was still not working, I removed everything and created two index files with the one line "www" and "non-www" to see that my changed worked. Sadly they didn't ... So I somehow miss the place where I can change this last bit in the puzzle I believe. Any ideas where I might be able to find this option to set things the right way?

 

Wow, dound a new lead that while checking a bit and I came across the httpd.conf ....

Downloaded it and found this:

Code:

<VirtualHost XX.XXX.XXX.XX:80>
    ServerName domain.tld
    ServerAlias www.domain.tld
    DocumentRoot /home/USERNAME/public_html
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.tld
    UseCanonicalName Off
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.tld combined
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.tld-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
    ## User USERNAME # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
    UserDir enabled USERNAME
    <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
        suPHP_UserGroup USERNAME USERNAME
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/USERNAME:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
        php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/USERNAME:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp"
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
        <IfModule !mod_ruid2.c>
            SuexecUserGroup USERNAME USERNAME
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_ruid2.c>
        RMode config
        RUidGid USERNAME USERNAME
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule itk.c>
        # For more information on MPM ITK, please read:
        #   http://mpm-itk.sesse.net/
        AssignUserID USERNAME USERNAME
    </IfModule>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/USERNAME/public_html/cgi-bin/

    # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
    # Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2_2/USERNAME/domain.tld/*.conf"
</VirtualHost>

right below this entry I find (I guess) my strangely created subdomain:

Code:

<VirtualHost XX.XXX.XXX.XX:80>
    ServerName www.domain.tld
    ServerAlias www.www.domain.tld
    DocumentRoot /home/USERNAME/public_html/www
    ServerAdmin webmaster@www.domain.tld
    UseCanonicalName Off
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/www.domain.tld combined
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/www.domain.tld-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
    ## User USERNAME # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
    UserDir enabled USERNAME
    <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
        suPHP_UserGroup USERNAME USERNAME
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/USERNAME:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
        php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/USERNAME:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp"
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
        <IfModule !mod_ruid2.c>
            SuexecUserGroup USERNAME USERNAME
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_ruid2.c>
        RMode config
        RUidGid USERNAME USERNAME
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule itk.c>
        # For more information on MPM ITK, please read:
        #   http://mpm-itk.sesse.net/
        AssignUserID USERNAME USERNAME
    </IfModule>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/USERNAME/public_html/www/cgi-bin/

    # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
    # Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2_2/USERNAME/www.domain.tld/*.conf"
</VirtualHost>

Besides that here is the server alias www.www.domain.tld it looks fine.

The Problem is, when i check the named folder where I should change the stuff: "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2_2/USERNAME/domain.tld/*.conf" I end at /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2_2/ and there is just one other user, not the one I need.

I could find that I have to create the folders and a *.conf file myself ... so update.conf it would be... but HOW to enter there now my needed updates? Somehow for a newbie there is not really something to be found that one can understand...

As I had edited all files inside /var/cpanel/userdata/username and used these comands to rebuild httpd.conf

Code:

cp /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak101021
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

i thought i should be good to go, but still I have http://domain.tld/ und http://www.domain.tld/ connected...

So this whole thing is very frustrating, as it seemed to be something very easy after I had found these config files... but where does it get stuck?

 

Problem solved. I did the right thing, but I had messed up a while ago when I made my first tryouts.

I expect that somewhere in the beginning I had messed with the DNS Settings (Edit DNS Zone) ....
because when I terminated the Account and recreated it again, uploaded the modified files
domain.tld.cache
domain.tld
cache
main
main.cache
www.domain.tld.cache
www.domain.tld
via SCP and didn't do anything else (because i was searching for solutions)

So when i had opened the http://domain.tld/ a error was shown.... no content uploaded. So my test files went up again and directly everything worked exactly as I needed it to have it.

Right now I have uploaded Wordpress and PhpLD ... just need to be installed and the main site of wordpress install gets a php redirect ... i think i'll got everything i was looking for!

 

Well, something is strange... but maybe you guys can help me out.

I have changed my server, doing what I have done before is still possible, but it has simply no effect.

So i tried to remove the www subdomain in cPanel and found a message, that lead me here to this old topic: extra www subdomain - and cannot remove!

Is there a way to savely get EXACTLY that? I WANT the extra folder.. but for some reason I can't get it anymore on the new server and I absolutely don't see the problem here.

Everything in /var/cpanel/userdata/username looks exactly the way it was before. I went that far and simply took the files from the working server, changed Username and IP adress and uploaded it again.
Rebuild apache and..... nothing ....

Did I miss something? did I do something that I did before? I cannot tell. I only know that the things I have done what I described here worked the last time, but this time not.

But having this Topic about REMOVING what I want... maybe someone can get me the information I am so longing for...
