[Mediawiki-l] Sud-domains / Linux

[Mauro do Carmo]

Hi all,

 

It is a kind of off topic, but I need one advice here.

 

This is the problem: 

 

On webhost4life I have a sub-domain like 1.carmo.ws which gives this URL:
HYPERLINK
"http://1.carmo.ws/index.php?title=Main_Page"http://1.carmo.ws/index.php?tit
le=Main_Page. Note that the sub-domain remains in its place on the URL. If I
use HYPERLINK "http://www.1.carmo.ws/"www.1.carmo.ws, I get this HYPERLINK
"http://www.1.carmo.ws/index.php?title=Main_Page"http://www.1.carmo.ws/index
.php?title=Main_Page. So, that is perfect. If I have this situation on a
Linux account I would be happy, because I would use .htaccess on the
sub-domain address and all would be as I want.

 

I just bought one hosting plan on Godaddy.com. Linux account. .htaccess
works fine, but… Godaddy treats my sub-domains in an odd way: if I type
1.carmo.ws I would get this URL: HYPERLINK
"http://www.carmo.ws/1/index.php?title=Main_Page"http://www.carmo.ws/1/index
.php?title=Main_Page. Note that they changed my URL. I have no more my
sub-domain in the address bar on my browser. For me, that is a redirection
of my URL without my consent! And it is very odd too.

 

Maybe it is a question of some trick I might have to do with my DNS Record
File configuration. Play with A records or Cnames. I don’t know.

 

Perhaps, some one here has a Linux account on Godaddy.com servers and can
help me out?

 

Perhaps, I should pay more for a better service? I hope not!:)

 

Thanks again for all help, mauro.
