Newb redirect question

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.
