Point a subdomain to a page on the domain

Posted on March 25, 2014

Hey guys, My goal here is to pint http://cydia.ge0rges.com/ to http://ge0rges.com/repo. I have no idea how to this… usually I would think the provider would have a solution to this like others do but DO doesn’t. I tried adding a CNAME but support told me that wasn’t what it was for and suggested I implement a 301 redirect which I tried doing without success. Currently I don’t have anything setup not even the subdomain, I’m running the latest version of wordpress. Any help is appreciated, Thanks a lot, Georges

Assuming you have setup a virtualhost for you subdomain, simply add the following line to the VirtualHost block defining your subdomain <br> <br>Redirect permanent / http://ge0rges.com/repo <br> <br>so it should look like <br> <br><VirtualHost *:80> <br> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost <br> ServerName cydia.ge0rges.com <br> ServerAlias cydia.ge0rges.com <br> <br> Redirect permanent / http://ge0rges.com/repo <br></VirtualHost>
