I have a website on OVH web hosting.I want to add one more website to it.I have added TXT file ON DNS area.After this, I also added parameters that OVH has given to me to activate multisite like A record as well.But this is not working for me as it adds domain name as a subdomain like x.ovhsupport.fr but I want it to be added like x.fr a full domain name.And it shows me as a site not installed yet but the files exist.I want it as a full domain name.I don't know how to do it Please help me.
Is your domain registered with OVH or is it an external domain?
An internal domain can be automatically configured by OVH, you should consider a transfer if it's an external domain. Or you can refer to this step-by-step procedure in OVH docs.

After reading as much as I can from the CPanel documentation and forum posts I have come to the conclusion that what I want to do is not possible but I thought I would have one last try just in case.
I have a server that hosts a number of domain accounts that are managed by CPanel, some of the domains have a Wordpress supported website that includes a plugin to provide services to the users.
I don't have root access, that is only available to the service company that host the server.
I would like to provide a webpage (php) that displays the email forwarders to selected users who do not have access to CPanel.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Mike
I am first time trying to host laravel 5.5 app using cpanel in a subdomain, but it giving me HTTP ERROR 500. Please somebody help me with step by step guide to host laravel in a subdomain. There is another website hosted on main domain probably developed in Joomla or might be in something else I am not aware of.
to host laravel on subdomain using cPanel, you can use the subdomain feature in cPanel Main Menu.
the steps are :
upload your project folder into public_html
in cPanel main menu, choose Subdomains
on Create a Subdomain, type the name of the subdomain in Subdomain, and refer the Document Root into your project public folder. so the Document Root will be like public_html/your-project-folder/public
click Create button, and that's all
hope it's helps
So i am having a problem, there is a website which have been hosted on plesk and currently to access that website i have to change my hosts file in system32 folder and put the IP and website domain name to access that file. Now i want to remove that so that i can access my website without editing my hosts file. How can i do that?
Note: I didn't made those settings on that website where i have to edit my hosts file to access the website and the website is made in wordpress.
I really dont have idea what to do because i have always used wamp to use it on localhost. Please Help guys!! thanks alot.
The issue is that your website does not have public DNS records and you should create them.
As you want to host it on Plesk server let me explain on example:
Let's assume that you have created a website and called it example.com. For development and tests you used wamp server on your local machine and to reach website you edited local hosts file.
Now you want to move it to production, so what you need to do:
First you should register your domain. You can do it with some registrar like GoDaddy.
Next you need to create this domain in Pleks > Subscriptions > Add Subscription. On this step Plesk will create a DNS zone for your domain on local DNS server.
After that you have two options:
1. Allow Plesk to host and serve DNS zone. In this case you need to configure Plesk server as name servers for your website on registrar side.
2. Use another DNS server, for example provided by your hosting provider, and configure zone for your website manually.
Finally you need to wait until zone will be propagated world-wide and your website will become accessible.
You can read more about DNS here, here and here.
I spun up a Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter VM.
Endpoints have ports 21,80,443 successfully added to the dashboard.
Installed Wordpress/PHP on the VM using the Web Platform Installer.
Wordpress site works fine using localhost.
Trying to hit the DNS (mysite.cloudapp.net) or the public IP, shows just the generated version of the site below. Clicking links results in an "unable to connect" error.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
By default, when you finish installing wordpress, the address URL is set to
http:/localhost/wordpress
When you browse your site with DNS, the resources file urls are still referring to like http://localhost/......
So, we need to sign in wordpress admin portal in your VM, click “setting”=>”general”, set “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” to http://<your_vm_name>.cloudapp.net/wordpress, and save changes.
If you have any further concern, please feel free to let me know.
wordpress is normally url based, make sure it's configured for wildcard or the cloudapp.net domain.
So one thing you can do is see if you can log into /WP-admin and check the home and url links under Settings>General to see if they match site.cloudapp.net. If they do you might also want to check under your wordpress's theme files in functions.php and add the following lines to the top after <?php
update_option('siteurl','http://example.com');
update_option('home','http://example.com');
I have been trying to transfer my magento website to another domain of mine on the same hosting server.
I have searched over the Internet for this but unfortunately didn't find answer about the transfer within same hosting server. However there are a lot of solutions if someone transfer from one server to another.
I have 2 domains on a hosting server. One is mydomain.ca and other is mydomain.com, currently mydomain.ca is running and the folder of mydomain.com is empty.
What I wanna do is to run mydomain.com with the same website which is running on mydomain.ca
If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
If your server has any hosting panel, then there must be an option to copy content from one place to another. You can easily copy content from current virtual host directory (say mydomain.ca) to virtual host directory of (say mydomain.com).
Then login to DB administration tool (say phpMyAdmin), select database of current website, click on operations, then click on copy database.
Then provide name of database where you want to copy existing database.
Now you have to do only 2 changes:
In core_config_data table of copied database, change unsecure base url and secure base url.
In app >> etc >> local.xml of new virtual host folder, change database connectivity details (i.e. host, username, password and database name).
Now delete var/cache, var/session folders from new virtual host directory.
That's all.
If you are planning to have them both running the same website then I think there's a simpler approach.
if your website is currently running as mydomain.ca, then all you need to do is "park" your other domain on this same account. Cpanel etc will usually allow you to do this no problem.
This will basically setup mydomain.ca as a pointer to mydomain.ca. they will both point to the same directory/document root, so you'll only have one set of files and no extra directories to worry about.
some info on doing this via some shared hosting platforms:
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Parked+Domains
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/what-is-a-parked-domain-how-do-i-create-and-delete-one
Once the second domain is "parked" they will both point to the same website. If you then wanted to have them use different store fronts, themes etc, you could manage this inside magento without the need to change anything else on the hosting side of things.
