http:// is NOT http://www.

Since my mainfile.php is configured to http://(my address).com I've noticed that if I access the site under www.myaddress.com, I get the error "The Selected module does not exist. and if I configure mainfile.php tohttp://www. then the modules won't come up underhttp://my address.com ...

So, I tried:
----------------------------------------------------------
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://myaddress.com ', 'http://www.myaddress');
----------------------------------------------------------
but it only seems to catch what ever one is first.

How can I get everything to work properly under both resolves? (http:// AND www.) ??

I am not sure that you really can do exactly what you want without going through all of the multi site hacks.Yuck!

What I do is tho create an HTML redirect page for all of my other domains and redirect toward www.xyzcorp.com

You could also configure apache to do this for you, but I like to keep my apache config very clean and simple.

Humm... I don't have access to the apache configuration. -- Thankfully so, - What a pile of pain!

What about a .htaccess include?

Has anyone ever seen an htaccess include that would send people to an alternate resolve? (all http:// requests sent to www.request)?

Is this possible??

I said you could ALSO configure apache for this. You do not have to. I do not like to do it that way.

The simple way is to create a seperte site dir for each domain. It all of the "other" domains put an index.html file like:


<html>

<head>

    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; URL=http://www.mycompany.com">

    <title>My Company</title>

</head>

<body>

</body>

www.mycompany.com would be the url of your "real" XOOPS site.

Make sense?

Xoops 2.0.7 should resolve to both

If you are using 2.0.6, you may want to take a look at this

I think that your problem would be solved if you could use a relative XOOPS_URL url.

define('XOOPS_URL', '/');

That way you could access your site via HTTP, HTTPS and any domain name (IP address, proxy mapping, machine name, etc.)

Am I right ?

The problem is that today XOOPS cannot do it unless you apply an old hack (2.0.6) that I am still using on various production sites.

See:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13171&forum=21#forumpost69343
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=thread&topic_id=13171&forum=21&post_id=69661#69661

The Michael Wulff Nielsen code addition in XOOPS 2.0.7 (/include/commom.php) is good and needed, but not sufficient to make it work completely.

I still have to help to make it part of the XOOPS official kernel...

Regards,

Benoit

This is good advice, thank you jmass!
- I'm really only worried about people that type the domain in directly though.

I tried This advice too.
But it gave me this error:
----------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/myaddress.com/include/common.php on line 235

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/myaddress/include/common.php on line 241
----------------------------------------------------------
So humm....

Wow, that's quite a bit of hacking, thanks for the link mercibe!

It looks as though quite a few people have been here at length.

- It sure would be nice if were as easy as the the below!
----------------------------------------------------------
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://myaddress.com ', 'http://www.myaddress');

I was having a similar problem with my site where I have a parked domain iaparrot.com on my domain aviary.info and I wanted everything to work if they came to iaparrot.com... so...

I added this to the top of my mainfile.php (under the copyright/disclaimer stuff):
Quote:

$whathost=$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
if($whathost != "www.aviary.info")
{
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location:http://www.aviary.info".$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
exit();
}

Works fine.
