Enquiry about URL

Squiz Matrix Support

Hi Guys, not sure if this is 'general discussion' so please move to correct topic if not.


On the apache box, i've set up the address: dmenet.dnr.qld.gov.au so that when users go type in 'dmenet' it will take them to the mysource homepage.



But, when i set up the Web URL's in mysource as dmenet.dnr.qld.gov.au it comes up with the warning:

[quote]URL "dmenet.dnr.qld.gov.au" is not based upon an existing System Root URL [CORE0082][/quote]



I want users to be able to type in 'dmenet' so it takes them straight to the mysource homepage. But I get this in the browser window:

[quote]MySource Notice

URL "http://dmenet" not found [SYS0218[/quote]



Hope this makes sense. Oh and this is for Intranet not internet.



Cheers

The MySource Matrix security sandpit requires fully qualified domain names, so the single hostname "dmenet" will not work. What you should do is configure an Apache virtualhost to listen for that single hostname and then use mod_rewrite to redirect the user to dmenet.dnr.qld.gov.au instead.


Then, make sure that URL is configured in the System Root URLs location on the System Configuration screen. You will then be able to apply that URL to Sites in your system. Also, remember to check the Designs/Media/Users folders and add the appropriate URL there as well.

Thanks once again Avi. All works fine.
