Domain Pointers

[andry83]

Good morning, everyone.

A customer wants to redirect 50 domains to the main site so he used the "Domain Pointer" function. He would also like to see the url of the 50 domains in the browser and not the main site url so did not check the entry "Alias" as indicated in this guide

Unfortunately you always see only the url of the main site.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

I'm not sure, but maybe a redirect in the main site is causing it?
For example a redirect from any visitor with http to https on the main domain name or something similar?
Could be in the .htaccess so I would check there.

Yes, because domain alias must be alias, that's why logs file will only available from the main domain.

if customer want to separate the log files... then they must create separate domain and symbolic link "public_html" to main domain directory for share the same file structure.

Since in now directadmin don't have any option to create symbolic link from the File Manager, so.... it's hard for them to adjust this mechanism.

Thanks Richard.
The main site is a very simple WP. I checked the .htaccess and there are only the basic rewrite rule of WP.
The option "Force SSL with https redirect" in D.A. is not selected.
The server is an AlmaLinux 9.5 with OLS 1.8.2 and D.A. 1.675, the problem could be OLS?

I would try to disable the basic rewrite rule of WP by commenting it and see if it makes any difference.
If not, then I wouldn't know of it's OLS or something else.

Maybe @zEitEr has a clue. I don't use this option very much.
