Point a URL at a cathnet site or subsite
Covers all the steps involved
- Buy a URL, we currently suggest http://exodusdomains.com/.
- Set the DNS entry to NS1.LINODE.COM and NS2.LINODE.COM
- In the LINODE Management portal choose DNS manager and add a new domain zone for your url. Also add the A records, CNAME records. look at the same type of URL to find out how the entry should look.
- Use SSH to goto /etc/apache2/sites-available and perform the following commands
cp [similar URL] [your URL]
vi [your URL]
type 'i' for insert and [ESC] to escape insert to change the file.
type ':' to get the command prompt and 'w' to write or 'q' to quit. - link the file in sites-available with /etc/apache2/sites-enabled with the following sample command
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/cathnet.org /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/cathnet.org
-
Then you need to restart apache for the changes to take place - type in
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart -
That should be it.
