[3.3.3] URL redirection

1 Nov 18, 2010 21:38    

My b2evolution Version: 3.3.3

Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a URL redirect questions.

My main blog is at rossputin.com

I've set up a second blog which is called by rossputin.com/blog/backbone.php

I own the URL backboneradio.net which I have redirected to call rossputin.com/blog/backbone.php/

Right now the blog base URL as set in the blog settings is:
http://rossputin.com/blog/backbone.php/

And it works fine.

But I'd like the user to see backboneradio.net in the browser rather than the rossputin.com stuff.

However, when I set base URL to http://backboneradio.net/ I get an error:
404 Not Found
b2evolution cannot resolve the requested URL.

I have also gotten an error in Firefox that says something like the server is using a redirect that will never complete.

So, can anyone tell me what the proper settings would be so that the URLs of the backbone blog start with backbone.net/ instead of all the rossputin.com stuff, and so that going to backboneradio.net also works?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Are those websites hosted on the same physical server?
If they are, you have two choices

1. Set root directory for backboneradio.net into b2evo directory, let's say /home/user/public_html/blog/
That's all you need todo.

2. Create a file index.php in backboneradio.net root dir, say /home/user2/public_html/index.php with the following code

<?php
$blog = 555;
$timestamp_min = '';
$timestamp_max = 'now';

require_once '/home/user/public_html/blog/conf/_config.php';
require $inc_path.'_blog_main.inc.php';
?>

In both options you will need to set absolute blog url in settings. Note that cookies can't be shared between domains, and you will alway be logged out on addon domain.

thanks, Sam.

The always being logged out thing would actually be a problem, so if that can't be avoided then I'll just leave things as they are.

Best,
Ross
