Redirecting a website in Ubuntu with Webdev App Server

Hello All:

I installed Webdev Application Server in Ubuntu, and the application works when I use the following URL:

[mycompany.com]

Is there any way to redirect to /myproject when I use [mycompany.com] ?

Also, if I use multiple applications with different domains, it is still possible to redirect based on the domain?

Thanks
Greg

In the default page of your domain normally index.htm or index.html you can redirect the user to your application.
Check the index.html generate by WEBDEV, adapt it and used it as the dewfault document of your domain.

Thank you Paulo.
I see there is an index.html file in /home/webdevuser/Sites/myproject but it already have the redirecting code. However, it is still not working.

Once thing I noticed is when I invoke [domain.com], apache2 screen is shown. I can only access my site when I use [domain.com]

Do you know what would be wrong?

Thanks
Greg

Are you sure that your redirection code is in the default file used by your webserver?
normally it's the index.html in the /var/www/html

Thanks Paulo.
I was referring to the index.html file created by Webdev for each site.

I see you refer to the default index.html file for apache2 which is in /var/www/html directory. Now, even if I modify this file to redirect to another page, I'm looking to host several webdev sites, so I'm not sure how I can redirect to different websites depending on the domain in the request URL.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can add some JS in the index.html file which is in /var/www/html to check the domain and proced to the app you need.

Something like:
if(location.hostname == "mysite.com"){

}

Hi Greg,

I'm not familiar with Linux, but in IIS you bind a site to an url.
So look for something similar in Ubuntu.

Best regards,

Perhaps you could tell me where to download the linux version of HFSQL Server?
Thanks,

Adding JS in index file can hep you. Use syntax like this :

Something like:
if(location.hostname == "mysite.com"){

}
