Input error: Invalid refererDear 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.

-----------
Problems which had troubled this setup.
-----------
Hopefully these notes save some time in the future for someone
If you at godaddy DNS, make a URL forward (within a frame), then the
name will always appear as
http://wiki.nmr-relax.com
and the generic name thing, will not work for user login, etc.
Then you could put at:
http://www.nmr-relax.com/wiki/index.html
---------------
<frameset rows="100%">
<frame src="" href="http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/" target="_blank">http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/">
</frameset>
---------------
But that would just give the same behavior.
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.
