host header url for linux web server
0
I am running a webpage on Apache at my vps(Debian) with the url of http://vps.foo.com/stuff.html. How can I change it so that the url is only stuff.foo.com? I use to do this in IIS many years ago, not sure how to do it in Linux.

This is not as simple as it may seem.
- You need the subdomain
stuff, so that you can use the addressstuff.foo.com. You should register it by your DNS server - create a DNS entry for it. Otherwise people won't be able to find it. - Then in your Apache you need either a redirection from
vps.foo.com/stuff.htmltostuff.foo.comor you can move the resources straight atstuff.foo.com. But then you won't be able to reach them at the old address.

@SilverSurfer httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#Redirect Notice, this is just setting up an alias. It would still direct atvps.foo.com/stuff.html. If you don't wantvps.foo.comat all, you need to rebuild the site at the new subdomain and setstuff.htmlas index ofstuff.foo.com.
