Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CNAME and A records not working?
Been rackin my brain on this one
First: Forget apache. You have to get DNS working properly before tackling the apache
config. I presume all hostnames have to resolve to the same IP? So, work on the DNS
config until this is so (test DNS using "nslookup" - not by typing the
hostnames into a browser).
I think it is simple and has to be a redirect here is some of my tests
this is so! blazebartending.com is their main site
www.blazebartending.com is a sitealias atest is an A record and
ctest.blazebartending.com is a CNMAE that points to www.canmail.org but
when i type ctest into my browser it takes me to the content that is
setup in the apache vhost container. I guess this what i wanted
NOT!!!!! but does make sense i think. at first i had no content infact
no container so browser took me the first virtual host is my httpd.conf
file. F*&k why did it used to work now it mostly makes sense that is
dosent i gotta go to be it is after 4am here.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nslookup blazebartending.com

Once you have DNS working reliably using nslookup, try the hostnames in a
browser. If you still have problems, check your ServerName and ServerAlias
directives in each VH. Post back if you need further help.
BTW, it would help if you posted real domain names - since this could be a DNS
issue, it would be better if we could check it ourselves.
and when u do an nslookp u get the cname bit and i thought apache
picked up on that
Strangeness abounds i solved the problem by adding an additional vhost
to every site similar to below now everything works but it is weird. I
do not quite understand cause i used to us cnames like further below and
they worked fine on my freesbd box. Now that i am forced into using
this fredora 3 machine not sure if the problem is related to os or
not. Anyway to make things work i changed to an A record but then the
www.canmail.org cannot be used and i have to use a raw ip so apache
cannot guess that i want www.canmail.org right? Therefore i added the
vhost with redirect and now things work. Puzzling me still is this
the rest of my vhost work fine ie www.site, old.site and new.site just
not when they are pointed to www.canmail.org. Hell even
mail.computerking.ca CNAME shoematers.com works well not
anymore cause i redirected it to www.canmail.org too. But it is a cname
and it still works. but mail.blazebartending.com INCNAME
www.canmail.org doesnt work until redirected. arrrgh i have been
messing with this for 2 days and i like the cname solution better i make
dns changes not sure if i have to wait
i cloud go one and one so many angles to the dangle help it works but am
still not happy

I have a vhost in apache called host1.com it have a serveralias of
www.host1.com. I used to use a DNS CNAME for the
www.host1.com and then
create another virtual host for that too. So i had 2 virtual host
containers for almost every site seems a bit cleaner and more
sensible
to just omit the CNAME in DNS and add a serveralias in apache. This
save me the bother of maintaining another entire virtual host
container
for each site. Is one more correct than the other they both seem to
work ok but it is kinda confusing. Note host1.com and www.host1.com
point to the same server and the same content all work well.
Anyway here is my problem There is also another record in my
DNS named
mail.host1.com it points to a different vhost named
www.mail.portal.org
also on the same server. I am using www.mail.portal.org as a email
portal for several sites so i added CNAMES to the DNS for these sites
like so
mail.host1.com IN CNAME www.mail.portal.com
this does not seem to work so i tried an A record
mail.host1.com IN A 123.123.123.123
this does not seem to work either apache seems to pick up the
connection
but it takes me to the first virtual host listed in the
httpd.conf file
host.com. I need apache to accept the connection and redirect me
www.mail.portal.com. Why doenst this work i have a similar
setup on a
different server and i works fine with CNAMES could it be the
serveralias thingy as i do not use it on the other server the
one that
works.
