Daniel0108hi :)16:05
Daniel0108holstein, are you here?16:06
holsteinhey Daniel010816:40
Daniel0108hi holstein16:40
Daniel0108:P16:40
holsteinim around16:40
Daniel0108where is your friend?16:40
holsteinfor a bit16:40
holsteinhere and there16:40
holsteininternalkernel is who i was thinking of16:41
Daniel0108I still need help with DNS ;)16:41
holsteinIF he's around16:41
internalkernelhuh?16:41
holsteinwe were going to point a domain for our LUG16:41
internalkernel:D16:41
holsteinand he was the go-to guy :)16:41
holsteininternalkernel: hey16:41
holsteinim getting you in trouble :)16:41
internalkernellol... Im used to it...16:41
holsteinDaniel0108: , meet daniel16:42
Daniel0108hi internalkernel ;)16:42
internalkernelhiya...16:42
internalkernelhey holstein, going to miss Sat I've gotta go to SF...16:42
Daniel0108http://pastebin.com/iEaa6Npt16:43
holsteininternalkernel: not worries16:43
Daniel0108there is my problem :P16:43
internalkernelAND iwas thinking future LUGs - we should get Jfo to talk about VCS like Bazaar or Git...16:43
Daniel0108I just copied the irc log ;)16:43
Daniel0108I hope you can help me :D16:43
internalkernelhe comes to mind since he works with the kernel team...16:43
internalkernelYes... what's the issue Daniel010816:43
Daniel0108internalkernel: http://pastebin.com/iEaa6Npt16:44
Daniel0108here is the issue :P16:44
internalkernelso.. you want any requests to domain.at to forward to domain.com16:45
internalkernelso. for instance like if you go to ubuntunc.com right now... it should just immediately forward you to ubuntu.com16:46
internalkernelor rather our team wiki page I believe...16:46
internalkernelI forgot which... lol...16:46
internalkernelCreate a virtual host file for the domain.at - all you'll need is the ServerName and this line:16:47
internalkernelRedirect permanent / http://www.domain.com/16:48
internalkernelthen: apache2ctr restart16:48
internalkerneland all requests to domain.at will end up at domain.com16:48
Daniel0108internalkernel: I have a DomainOnly host16:56
Daniel0108I can't create files or restart apache16:56
holsteinDaniel0108: they give you access to something though16:56
holsteinthey have to16:56
Daniel0108yes16:56
internalkernelahhh, what kind of access do they give you to setup a redirect?16:56
Daniel0108I can only setup DNS16:56
holsteinOR you should take it to another host16:56
Daniel0108but I can do what I want with DNS :P16:56
Daniel0108yes, but the problem is that I've already paid for it, lol16:57
internalkernelDo you have a Plesk panel or some other type of domain control?16:57
Daniel0108only DNS control, lol16:57
Daniel0108:PP16:57
Daniel0108I can just add/edit/remove dns records16:57
holsteinmaybe you should call them16:57
holsteinand ask them just how they propose the domain to be administered16:58
internalkernelWhat you want to setup is a Redirect, I don't think theres a way to do that through the DNS records though - it's something Apache or the web server will have to handle...16:58
Daniel0108holstein, I have to pay for forwarding... and I don't want to pay again16:58
internalkernelsince that machine probably has hundreds of domain names pointed to an IP - the web server makes the distinction between which requests go where16:58
Daniel0108there is no way to point to a domain instead of a ip?16:59
Daniel0108for ips I have MX record16:59
Daniel0108*A record16:59
internalkernelMaybe through the CNAME function16:59
internalkernelA records require IPs16:59
Daniel0108okay17:00
Daniel0108I'll try CNAME17:00
internalkernelCNAME record - Canonical Name might let you map the Domain name to an IP - but when the request hits the webserver it's still going to be domain.at17:00
internalkerneland the webserver is going to go... Not here...17:00
internalkernelI dont think there's not a way to trick the web server into thinking that a result for domain.at means domain.com17:01
Daniel0108ahh... that's unfair....17:01
internalkernelbut hey if you find one, let me know...17:01
internalkernelbecause that would be useful... the only way I know of is redirect through apache17:01
Daniel0108I have to pay like $80 for redirecting -.-17:02
Daniel0108but the domain was cheap -.-17:02
holsteinper year?17:02
internalkernelholy crap...17:02
Daniel0108yes17:02
Daniel0108per year17:02
internalkernelwho are you using?17:02
holsteinprobably should read the fine print though17:02
Daniel0108it's a good provider, but not for domain only :P17:02
holstein'restrictions apply' ;)17:02
Daniel0108ah, doesn't matter :P17:02
Daniel0108I'll just cancel the domain :P17:03
holsteini dont know, forwarding is a feature that i would expect in a domain registrar17:03
Daniel0108the .com works perfect17:03
Daniel0108and it's cheap17:03
holsteinincluded17:03
holsteinin whatever cost17:03
internalkernelor even a nominal fee for redirecting...17:03
holsteinyeah17:03
Daniel0108high-speed webspace + domain for like 25$ per year ;)17:03
holsteinthats a 'bait-n-switch' almost17:03
Daniel010810GB, no traffic17:03
Daniel0108holstein, yeah...17:04
Daniel0108okay, I'll leave this channel now :P bye17:06
_marx_holstein: i think your UH idea fits the description; time is early but what the...23:03
_marx_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour23:03
