Adding a Parked Domain to a shared account.


Post reply

I have a slight issue I could really use some help with. An internet buddy of mine set me up with an ftp account on his university server so that I may host a couple of files (ie. a mirror location) on my webblog. The current url is: http://www.example.com/~john/ In order to keep preying eyes away from the root domain (example.com) he asks that I bind (or park) a domain to my directory. I have no cPanel, and no access to ‘bind’ (?) just my created folder. So… I am wondering how it would be possible to park a domain name, using possibly .htaccess or some method other then cPanel’s automatic wack-amoll features. If modifying the httpd.conf is necessary I’m sure I could have that accomplished, but I really do need some assistance with this. The objective is to change: http://www.example.com/~john/example.ZIP To http://www.mydomain.com/example.ZIP Thanks a bunch!
You can add to your .htaccess file some URL rewriting rules. The Apache daemon on the server must have mod_rewrite.
