I have decided to move to jodo from the horrendous 1and1 but my setup is quite complex and it looks like I might not be able to do what i want on jodo.
On 1and1 I had the root of all (most) of my websites pointing to the same application root (was just “/” when i FTP’d in).
There was a “/sites/” folder i created in this root, which houses all the websites.
As they are all together within the same application I can pass info from one to another (For example, i have a banner rotaion database app in “/sites/bikechat/adsm…/” and i access it from my bikereviews site held at “/sites/br/” and all my other websites which are also in “/sites/”. I also had my _private folder within the root. They also all use the same global.asa file as they share application variables. They all also access the same databases in the _private folder in the same root.
Unfortunately jodo automatically creates a “/domainname.tld/” folder and sets it as its own application root and i cannot for the life of me find anywhere in the CP to change this.
I would like for the root (“/”) to be set as the application root for all my domains and subdomains. I also need the option of forwarding 123.abc.com subdomains to folders deep in the folder tree, like “/sites/bikechat/forum/uploads/members/uploads/etc/etc/etc”
I hope this makes sense, tried my hardest to word that. Please can someone help and make sure i dont have to go back to shitty 1and1 (There really would be too much work for me to change everything round).
aaaaaah, should i be creating the 1 site (blabla.com) and setting the rest as aliases to that one? then just leave things in the blabla.com folder and nobody would no???
no it isn’t a forwarder(as in it doesn’t just forward .net to .com). In technical terms it is an IIS host header, so yes it will work as you like, I believe.
Sounds like you have a complex setup, in some ways.
thanks very much. I will get them created now and see how i get on.
Its nice to be with a host that gives plenty of options. Id rather have to learn a CP with loads of option than be cushioned in a baby’s CP like at 1and1.
how do i delete the folders on the server for the domains ive just removed (and set up as aliases)??? Doesnt let me do it.
Also, i know you can set up a permanant redirect jobby to other folders, but how do you do it to more than 1 level down?
For example, i want “uploads.blabla.com” to go to “blabla.com/somefolder/another/uploads/”… how can i do that?
no mate thats right. If i cud get them all to be the same application root then thats 1 hurdle - hopefully with aliases it should be ok.
Your right about the moving the application root, well not moving it (I dont want all the _private, global.asa, etc) I just was the long folder path to be the default path for uploads.blabla.com without redirects.
its looking good… 1 more thing though. How do i add an alias of “uploads.blabla.com” to the original “mydomain.com”? “blabla.com” has already been setup as an alias - TOK.
