domain name to point to subfolder on webserver.

[Quackers]

We have a box just for a joomla site, and i wanted to host another one on the same box, which works fine. The original site is in the www root, so i just created another folder for the additional joomla site called cyc in the www root.

 

How do i get the domain to point to the /cyc of the webserver?

Make an index.php with the following in it.

 

header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/cyc/' ) ;
?>

and save this file where?

Ahh IIS...

Are you using Apache? If so, you can just use name based virtual hosts.

Yeah its apache, do you have any simple instructions as to what i need to do, i'm an IIS person, its only Joomla and Moodle that run apache here, rest is IIS.

and save this file where?

 

Your document root.

Its all in your httpd.conf

 

Its very well documented on the apache website

[Iain]

Sure, to set up name based virtual hosts you'll need to edit your httpd.conf file.

 

First make sure it contains the directive

NameVirtualHost *:80

 

Then add your existing site as a virtual host with (assuming your document root is /var/www/html)

ServerName [url]www.firstdomainname.com[/url]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html

 

Then add your new site with

ServerName [url]www.seconddomainname.com[/url]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cyc

 

As has been said, more detailed information can be found on the apache website.

 

Hope this is of some help,
