Playing around with www.ironruby.net

I’m trying to make http://ironruby.net take you to the same page as
http://www.ironruby.net, but in the meantime both might be broken. If
so, just go to http://ironruby.rubyforge.org.

PS. Anyone know how to do this on GoDaddy? Extremely confusing!

Yeah, add some custom DNS servers and use a real DNS management tool :wink:

Seriously though, click on the domain, click on the “Total DNS Control
and
MX Records”

Look at the A record, make sure the A record points to the same host as
the
CNAME record for ‘www’ (or both A records if there’s two).

Usually you have the A record that points to the site and a CNAME record
that points to the A record…

This is all running on Rubyforge … not sure what they’re using. Jimmy –
perhaps you could ping Tom C.

Heh, you’ll need some help from the web server, not just the DNS
registrar. This is how I once told Apache to redirect all HTTP URIs to
HTTPS:

    RedirectMatch permanent (.*) https://mail.colliertech.org$1

So you may want to do something like this:

RedirectMatch permanent https?://ironruby.net(.*)
http://www.ironruby.net$1

If they’re both on the same web server, you can do something like this:

    ServerName www.ironruby.net

    ServerAlias ironruby.net

This all assumes you’re using apache with
mod_aliashttp://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html, of
course :slight_smile: I’m sure there’s something quite similar for IIS, though.

Cheers,

This shouldn’t need, and shouldn’t be done via a rewrite. DNS provides
CNAME’s for it, as someone else brought it up earlier in the thread.
Rewrite’s are good however for things like the https redirect mentioned
earlier, although I believe there is a HTTP header that redirects to
ssl.
