Dear relax developers. The relax wiki, has now finally found it's right place with the right name. http://wiki.nmr-relax.com The wiki was up and running 19 of July 2013. ---------- For further reference for developers ------- Since gna.org does not provide PHP and MySQL, (see https://gna.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=108 ) the wiki could not be hosted at gna.org. I have access to a webhotel, gigahost.dk, which have these services. It has been a little mystery, how to handle DNS settings, so the web page naming would be correct. The naming had to be: http://wiki.nmr-relax.com -------------------- For further references for future developers, the DNS setup is as follows. Note: 'A' records can only point to IP. 'CNAME' is aliases for A records. (Must have an A record somewhere), and can only point to domain names. ### A ###) At godaddy, the DNS server for nmr-relax.com, the settings are: 1) An URL forward for the naked domain nmr-relax.com to www.nmr-relax.com No frame, no wildcards. 2) A CNAME record for www -> home.gna.org (they have a setup, which then points to the SVN repository ''website' directory) Ref: https://gna.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=107 Ref: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/relax/website/ 3) A CNAME record for wiki.nmr-relax.com -> nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk ### B ###) At gratisdns.dk, the DNS server for kimlinnet.dk 1) An 'A' record for nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk -> 217.116.232.203 The request for wiki.nmr-relax.com will then be pointed to 217.116.232.203 for the directory www/wiki.nmr-relax.com/ (have to be positioned gigahost.dk). The request route can for example be seen by using: http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HDNT/dns-record.php Domain Type Class Result wiki.nmr-relax.com. CNAME IN nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk. nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk. A IN 217.116.232.203 At gigahost, I had to create the directory (create a domain without DNS) at www/wiki.nmr-relax.com/ And then it finally worked. :-) Note: The intermediate step at gratisdns.dk is probably not necessary. An 'A' record at godaddy could have been directly created to point to gigahost: Example: wiki.nmr-relax.com -> 217.116.232.203 But with this setup, I gain control to later point to another webhotel (if necessary), without the need to contact edward to change the godaddy DNS service.

Then you can make a .htaccess file http://www.nmr-relax.com/wiki/.htaccess --------------- RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/$1 [R=301,L] -------------- But then the address WILL change to http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/, which was not wished.
