Re: [users@httpd] How to browse to index.php OR index.html on WordPress site?

Almost got it.

After making those changes, I made one more change:

cp /etc/wordpress/config-sitename.org /etc/wordpress/
config-beta.sitename.org
chown www-data:www-date /etc/wordpress/config-beta.sitename.org


But when I go any deeper than the front page, it redirects back to
index.html, just like it did when I did the much simpler "index1.php"
method earlier. Bummer.

Ah, so yes, I was still fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm supposed to
do.

So I've gone to domains.google.com to tinker with my domain name; I've
added a "Registered host", just be adding a line with the "beta." added to
the front of the address, and I've added a "Custom resource record", by
adding a "beta" line.

But I'm still getting a "cannot find" error on the beta site.

Ah, yes, I was still fundamentally misunderstanding what I was supposed to
be doing.

So, I went to "google.domains.com" and logged in to tinker with my domain
settings, and now I've added a "Registered host", just by adding the
"beta." to the front of my sitename - same address.

But I'm guessing that's not enough, because I'm still getting a "not found"
error.

If you own sitename.org already beta.sitename.org is only a subdomain. No 
need to buy another domain. If you want a completely different domain 
(change sitename.org to something completely different) you would have to 
of course.
In your DNS zone you just need to make an entry for beta.sitename.org which 
points to the ip of the server. As just written in the meantime... somebody 
has to take care of DNS handling

Oh-h-h... You think I have access to make DNS changes.

No. Looks like this route is a no-go then?




I am afraid you cannot do that then. If you have no DNS entry for 
beta.sitename.org no browser no nothing knows how to resolve this... it's a

Hello,

vhost = virtual host = 1 web site (short way)
You need one file per vhost in sites-available/

Wath I suggest is to configure -for ex.- :
- vhostA with domain.tld
DirectoryIndex index.html
- vhostB with sub.domain.tld (actual WP)
DirectoryIndex index.php



So I did:

cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/sitename.org /etc/apache2/sites-available/
beta.sitename.org

Then edited the beta.sitename.org, changing the "DirectoryIndex index.html"
to "DirectoryIndex index.php", and changing "ServerName sitename.org" to
"ServerName beta.sitename.org".

Then I created the symlink ("a2ensite beta.sitename.org").

Then I restarted Apache2 ("systemctl restart apache2").

Now when I web-browse to "sitename.org" I get the .html file as expected,
but when I browse to "beta.sitename.org" I get "Hmm. We're having trouble
finding that site."




Did you make a DNS entry for beta.sitename.org in your DNS zone file??

Tom




I would like to point a detail:
This directive
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
mean
serve index.php 1st if exists else serve index.html 1st

Am I better for understanding?




I think I already understood this, but since I have both files, it only
serves up the first one, every time, which is not what I want.

I'm not understanding how to make this work. I added:


DirectoryIndex index.php


to the bottom of my sitename.conf file, and successfully restarted Apache2,
but I can't figure out what to do from there.

one idea:


...
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php


# Access via an ssh tunnel.

...
DirectoryIndex index.php

[users@httpd] How to browse to index.php OR index.html on WordPress site?

2018-02-22 Thread Kent West 
I have a WordPress site that works. If my
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename.conf file is set with the
"DirectoryIndex index.php" directive, all is well, and pointing a
web-browser to http://sitename.org loads the sitename's index.php file as
it should.

But I need to temporarily put up a dummy site, consisting of just a very
simply index.html file. That's easy enough; I create the index.html file,
and then change the sitename.conf file to "DirectoryIndex index.html" and
restart Apache2. All is good.

But I still need to manually be able to get to the full-blown .php-based
site. When I web-browse to sitename/index.php, it reroutes to
sitename/index.html. If I change the .conf file to "DirectoryIndex
index.html index.php" and restart Apache2, that doesn't help.

It seems I can serve index.html OR index.php, but not both at the same time
(depending on the URL entered into the web-browser's URL bar).

Bonus points after getting this to work: Adding a button in the
"index.html" file that allows the viewer to "Click here to get to Full
Site" that points to "index.php".

I've been googling all morning and part of last night to figure this out,
with no joy. Thanks for any help you can throw my way!
