Hey guys,

I am fairly new to the linux world and need to know how to redirect my site from:

li375-xx.members.linode.com

to

mydomain.com

My site is currently showing on both these domains.

I would like a 301 redirect that keeps the path intact. (li375-xx.members.linode.com/halloween would redirect to mydomain.com/halloween)

I also have wordpress installed and everything I've tried is not working. I also created a cname hoping it would redirect from li375-xx.members.linode.com to mydomain.com but no luck there also.

Can you tell me what to do and where the code should go?

I installed the stacksript: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 'WordPress' StackScript at revision 146

Running the LAMP stack that is.

Thanks!
Derek

Heya Derek,
You should be able to achieve this just by messing around with the Apache configuration a bit. If you haven't already set up virtual hosting, you should do that now. The guide here may be helpful if you run into any trouble following the instructions below:
If you haven't already set up virtual sites, then presumably you are currently using the 000default site for everything (that is to say, currently both the li375-xx.members.linode.com and the mydomain.com sites will be using the 000default site config in apache). This is fine, and we can create a new virtual site just for li375-xx.members.linode.com which will forward to the default site. To do this you'll need to do something along the lines of...
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
touch li375-xx.members.linode.com
At this point, edit the content of /etc/apache2/sites-available/li375-xx.members.linode.com (you can use nano li375-xx.members.linode.com) and set it to the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName li375-xx.members.linode.com
     Redirect 301 / http://mydomain.com/
</VirtualHost>

Save the file, and then add the site to apache and reload apache:
a2ensite li375-xx.members.linode.com
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
That should sort you out. Give a shout if you run into any problems. I've made a few assumptions about the way you have things set up at the moment, so it may not work 100%.
Best!

Why would you want to use li375-xx.members.linode.com at all?

Just setup and use your real domain name.
