Re: change i hosted domain to a subdomain

Bradley,

What I am missing here is my cgi programs, over a hundred, are calculating
url strings that all use "abc.com" in the url, and the network tech says I
need to alter it to "xyz.abc.com" - I've read enough of Apache that the
RewriteEngine can do stuff like that - so that any url would insert the
"xyz." In the right place. Unfortunately no two solutions look the same.
I was looking for some confirmation about how something like that would work
on Power i - and especially, where it goes in the .conf file (or .htaccess?)
- everyone's examples on the web so far are linux or Win, or especially
WordPress which has an admin, all short little clips with not quite enough
info. Plus have no test system.

Why would you redirect from one server to another use a landing page when
you could just redirect to a new public IP on the DNS side of things?

As I said your network guy should know how to do that. Then just have him
send xyz.abc.com to your IBM i and it's pretty simple. No need for extra
links in the chain, especially port 80 which is rarely used for internet
based web sites any more.

I believe you are administering the Apache server(s) with port :2001?
And further, that port :80 (the default) is your normal landing page
for www.xyz.com?

If so perhaps this scenario will get you home:

* Create a new generic landing page and a new landing page server for
port :80.
* Change the www. server to another port.
* Establish the new server abc.xyz.com at a new port.
* On your landing page server setup redirect www.xyz.com and
abc.xyz.com to their new port assignments.

With that scenario I believe when users enter they will get:

xyz.com = generic landing page (a model for you to consider would be
the Zend landing page at port :2004)

abc.xyz.com = abc.xyz.com

www.xyz.com = www.xyz.com
