Running Multiple Sites / Domains On Abyss

Bluedog · 2003-02-11T21:28:39+00:00

Update: Now uses the new variable naming convention. I noticed it was often asked if it was possible to have addresses such as forum.mydomain.com, mydomain.com, and my2nddomain.com all pointing to different sites on abyss. Although you can't actually do this via abyss (yet), you can using this small php script I wrote. If you put it in the /htdocs of your directory, and name it index.php (or other .php index extension), depending on the url the user entered it will forward to a different website. This code is setup for 3 websites, and if neither of the addresses are entered it shows an error page of your choice. Just duplicate where indicated! To have less than three domains, simply delete 1 block of the code (from 'if' to '}') <?php //get domain entered in browser if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "forum.yourdomain.com") { //forward to appropriate page header("Location : forum/index.php"); exit; } if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "yourdomain.com") { header("Location : mainpages/home.html"); exit; } //duplicate from here for more addresses if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "yourdomain2.net") { header("Location : website2/home.html"); exit; } //end duplicating, insert below. //else show error page else { header("Location : error.html"); exit; } ?><title>Opening Your Page ::</title> if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Common Problems: - Do not include http:// in the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "whatever" field. Http:// is not part of the domain itself, and just tells the system to request the page using the web protocol. - Ensure when copying you include all "s. If you do not, the script will fail. - Any others? Let me know :) Hope this is of use to some of you, Neil

try this:
<?
//get domain entered in browser
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
if ($HOST == "streamquest.sytes.net") {
header("Location : test/index.htm");
exit;
}
elseif ($HOST == "127.0.0.1") {
header("Location : test/main.htm");
exit;
}
//... so on
//else show default page
else {
header("Location : error.htm");
exit;
}
?>

I'm not sure if i was spposed to create the page main.htm,
so i did not and i got redirected to this page by entring my no-ip address
http://search.msn.com/dnserror.aspx?FORM=DNSAS&q=streamquest.sytes.net

eznetlinks

i usually don't create test pages for testing because if the page doesn't exist i will be taken to the abyss default 404 page. I don't know why you got redirected to msn, maybe you hit the search button after entering your url. Put some content on index.html main.html and error.html so you can see what page you are being directed to.

olivierp

All right..
I got :
index.htm with Winter.jpg
main.htm with a +7 text on it
error.htm with Waterlilies.jpg
index.php

<? 
//get domain entered in browser 
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; 
if ($HOST == "streamquest.sytes.net") { 
header("Location : test/index.htm"); 
exit; 
} 
elseif ($HOST == "127.0.0.1") { 
header("Location : test/main.htm"); 
exit; 
} 
//... so on 
//else show default page 
else { 
header("Location : error.htm"); 
exit; 
} 
?>

I get my error.htm page
Thanks

ok i see the problem for some reason, probably because your not using port 80 the domain streamquest.sytes.net is being served in a frameset. therefore the script will not work.
This will probaly work:
<?
//get domain entered in browser
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
if ($HOST == "24.203.87.212:6000") {
header("Location : test/index.htm");
exit;
}
elseif ($HOST == "127.0.0.1:6000") {
header("Location : test/main.htm");
exit;
}
//... so on
//else show default page
else {
header("Location : error.htm");
exit;
}
?>
it will not work with streamquest.sytes.net
try these URLs
http://24.203.87.212:6000
http://127.0.0.1:6000
http://localhost:6000

olivierp

I get my error page with all 3 links and the same with my no-ip address
As you said, i am not using port 80 since it is blocked by my provider

eznetlinks

ok the script had an error from the begining it shows
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
should be:
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; was tried in the past by someone with a www.tk frameset with limited success and will not work for all users visiting your site.
Try this:
<?
//get domain entered in browser
$HOST = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
if ($HOST == "24.203.87.212:6000") {
header("Location : test/index.htm");
exit;
}
elseif ($HOST == "127.0.0.1:6000") {
header("Location : test/main.htm");
exit;
}
//... so on
//else show default page
else {
header("Location : error.htm");
exit;
}
?>
it will not work with streamquest.sytes.net
try these URLs
http://24.203.87.212:6000
http://127.0.0.1:6000
http://localhost:6000

thanks, it works, all 3 links brought me to the indicated page...
however, how would I set another no-ip address in this script
say streamquest.sytes.net pointing to test/index.htm
and multiprod.sytes.net pointing to test2/index.htm

eznetlinks

I don't know if that is possible If your not using port 80. i will look into it.

olivierp

thanks alot, your time is very apreciated

Since port forwarding is served in a frameset you can not redirect with a script. but you can do it by running another server.
Here is how it can be done:
Go to C:\Program Files and copy "Abyss Web Server". Paste the copy in C:\Program Files. This will make a file named "copy of Abyss Web Server". Rename "copy of Abyss Web Server" to "Abyss Web Server 2". In the "Abyss Web Server 2" folder open the file "abyss.conf".
Change the following three lines:
replace: ServerRoot C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\
with: ServerRoot C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server 2\
replace: Port 6000
with: Port 86 or whatever port you want.
replace: ConsolePort 9999
with: ConsolePort 9099 or whatever port you want.
Save the file. Now you can execute C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server 2\abyssws.exe
Now you can run a site from C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\ and another from C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server 2\

thanks eznetlinks, that will take care of it for now...
by the way, i understood the prob came from the port fowarding.. But I dont understand the difference between a port and another, I know 80 is the
default setting, but what's different about it ?
So is it the choice of the port or the no-ip address that prevents me from using the script we began with?

eznetlinks

http request are handled on port 80. when someone visits your ip like http://24.203.87.212 they are taken to port 80. Unless given specific instructions not to by adding the port to the URL like http://24.203.87.212:6000. no-ip.com cannot forward to another port it simply cannot be done. So they redirect using a frameset.
Try this example:
Copy and paste the below code to an html page, save it to your server and visit the page.



<frameset>
<frame src="http://www.google.com" />
</frameset>

you will see the google homepage but the address to your server in the address bar. That is how no-ip redirects to another port. The URL streamquest.sytes.net isn't actually being directed to your server so the script doesn't read streamquest.sytes.net it reads the URL in the frameset which is 24.203.87.212:6000 . That is why the script doesn't work. The script will only work on names directed to your ip with no port . By the way you should use another port other than 6000 because mozilla browsers have the port blocked therefore mozilla users cannot see your site. Here are a list of ports mozilla blocks: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/PortBanning.html#portlist

olivierp

Well thats interesting... Thanks for the info, but why would Mozilla block ports, what good is there for them...

eznetlinks

Mozilla doesn't block the ports, it is using them for services it runs. Only one service can run on each port. Port 110 is used for POP3(Post Office Protocol) So Users can receive mail. The chat client runs off port 531.

olivierp

I see..
So it would not help if I would start no-ip duc as an application rather than a service..?

eznetlinks

No. Doesn't make a difference. Actually if you have a static IP you do not need the DUC, you can use the web interface.

As im not home i've tried this script on a different server...
But I get this error:
Mydomain would actually be: http://www.smartsoftcorp.tk
and my script is:
<?php
//get domain entered in browser
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "smartsoftcorp.tk") {
//forward to appropriate page
header("Location: /Mainfiles/");
exit;
}
//get domain entered in browser
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "mail.smartsoftcorp.tk") {
//forward to appropriate page
header("Location: /mail/");
exit;
}
//get domain entered in browser
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "download.smartsoftcorp.tk") {
//forward to appropriate page
header("Location: /downloads/");
exit;
}
//end duplicating, insert below.
//else show Main Page
else {
header("Location: /index.php");
exit;
}
?>
And my error is:
ÿþ<
I've tryed everything and still doesent work
My real server is: http://smartsoftcorp.webcindario.com
And the pathe's are all correct and I dont get it... simply I dont get it... lol...

eznetlinks

The script does not work with frames.
