Hi have multiple domain for one web application hosted on tomcat. My server is managed with web host manager and cPanel. This domains are configured ok and shows web applications if you type domain with or without www
Now I want to do this configuration. If somebody type w.domain.com, ww.domain.com or wwww.domain.com go to web application too.
I don't know where I must do this configuration. Must I add CNAME register on DNS with 1,2 and 4 W? Or some configuration on apache?
Regards.
Both. The CNAME is just a reference to the record for the IP that the dns system will resolve for you. The Apache server still sees "w" "ww" or "wwww" coming in.
However, it is quite likely that the Apache is configured to accept *.domain.com which means you do not need to change anything.

Updated the question:
Assume that i run several web applications in one windows server under IIS. As you know, for the several web applications to co-exist in IIS, i need to differentiate them using a hostname, ip address or port combinations. Assuming that i go with defining a hostname binding unique for each of the web applications, do i need to create a DNS entry for the hostnames to be resolved?
There are three different sites i host in IIS in the same windows server. I can not allocate different ip address to each of my dev sites so i chose to use unique host names for each of the sites thus
api-orders.dev
api-catalog.dev
api-products.dev
etc..
api - indicates it is a web api.
orders | catalog | products - indicate it is an application serving a business department.
dev - indicates it is my development site.
My organization has several domains such as usdev.org.com, us.org.com, uk.dtt.org.com and more like.
Assuming that my Dev servers are hosted in the usdev.org.com domain. I should be able to request my hypothetical sites from within and also outside of the usdev.org.com domain
right now, when i use the below urls, i am not able to hit the site within or outside the domain. Not even from the web server where the sites are hosted. I ask this question to several people and could not get a clear response.
DO i need to create DNS entries corresponding to the hostname IIS binding of each site in order to solve this issue?
api-orders.dev.computer-name.domain.com
api-catalog.dev.computer-name.domain.com
api-products.dev.computer-name.domain.com
What kind of setup i need to acheive this?
If you just want to access the website via your Active directory. I think you shouldn't include servername in your domain name.
Because in common AD DNS Forward Lookup Zone.
You should have a primary zone called domain.com. Your web server will displayed as a HOST(A) Servername and its FQDN will be servername.domain.com.
Then you could create a CNAME api-orders.dev and map it to your servername.domain.com. The FQDN should be api-orders.dev.domain.com.
Finally you have to set the domain into IIS binding so that IIS can share 80 port for mutiple sites.
Since your cname api-orders.dev will not be considered as a seperate website, you have to input FQDN instead of CNAME.
If you want to access the website from internet, then you may need to purchase public domain from domain provider and map it to your server's public IP address.
Sorry in advance, this is my first post and I'm a novice with web hosting.
I have 2 websites hosted on the same IIS version 8.5 using a different application pool.
The problem is that I can't get Website A to connect outside the network whereas website B can connect just fine.
They have the same configuration except for the bindings.
I tried switching the port in the bindings from A to B and the problem still arises.
Example: https All Unassigned 25777 analytics.com (A) https all unassigned 25779 portal.com (B)
Since I was able to switch the port and portal still works, I'm assuming that the site configuration is fine and the port is fine.
I think the host name's problem.
How can I fix this?
The public IP was an issue.
The public IP provided by our ISP wasn't properly configured. Changing to a new one provided it by them allowed us to access the website from outside the network.
I am developing web pages and deployed it in Tomcat. I want it to share among my friends. I read about IIS and Apache.Please suggest me any way to direct domain name to tomcat installed in my computer.
Personally, I would stay away from IIS.
Deploy an instance of Apache/HTTPD in windows - and proxy/reverse-proxy the traffic on whatever port you want to your tomcat instance.
You can find some decent resources as for Windows deployables here:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html
Then when you have your server set up and functioning, look into the ProxyPass directive within Apache.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html
Don't forget to open a port forwarding on your router, if necessary.
As far as directing your domain name to your computer, look into getting an account at ZoneEdit to set up your DNS to point whatever domain name you want to your routers/cable modems IP address. Then you can set up your port forwarding.
I am using apache as my front http server which handles requests for JBoss 4.2.2 running as an application server.I have a J2EE application running on JBoss handles mutliple sites requests.
My IP is registered to xyz.com
a request to community1.xyz.com loads site for community1
a request to community2.xyz.com loads site for community2
I have single virtual host configured which listens to default (all requests) in ssl.conf
I need two different SSL certificates to be used for community1 and community2
How can configure 2 Virtual Hosts to with respect to the dns name to do so.
The reason I need to different SSL instead of 1 assigned to *.xyz.com is for the fact that
community2.xyz.com is being redirected from another server mmm.com to my Apache server.
If you want to use two different certificates for the same IP address, you're going to have to use the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension, which is relatively recent (and might not be supported by all browsers, but it seems to work with recent ones).
You'll find more details about the configuration of the Apache Httpd front-end on this Apache wiki page:
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/NameBasedSSLVHostsWithSNI
While you can use Server Name Indication (SNI), I would recommend simply getting another IP address because it is not fully supported (people with older browsers wouldn't be able to go to your site).
Our 404 error logs show a lot of /SysVol http requests on our Windows Web Server 2008 for our website. It only has a webserver role and I believe that SysVol requests are meant for Domain Controllers? What's causing this and what would be the best solution to deal with these 404 requests?
I'm using code that access employee records via Active Directory (ldap) and the server is not trusted for delegaton in case this is related to the problem.
Are these requests coming from external IPs ? They are probably trying to p0wn you
The sysvol share generally gets created and shared out when a server is promoted to a domain controller. I'm assuming that your web server is not a DC and not in an Active Directory domain?
As for how to deal with it, if you're behind a firewall, you could block everything except ports 80 and 443 for instance. I hope that your webserver is behind a firewall. Seeing traffic like that isn't all that unusual considering it's on the internet.
