Domain Alias

[David A. Bayly]

Ryan,

This isn't really a newbie question, its a quite a sophisticated 
setup,. In the Friontier way of looking at things, it breaks sown 
into 2 questions

1) How do I map to 2 domains to  a single website?
2) how do I make urls on rendered pages to match my preferred domain.

1) is handled by the entries at config.mainresponder.domains. You 
will end up with two entries

www.sitea.com	@siteAmanilawebiste
www.siteb.com	@siteBmanilawebsite.

which simply mean, when mainresponder is analyzing the incoming url, 
it   identifies the website from  the hostname.   See 
<http://frontier.userland.com/stories/storyReader$195> for a Userland 
page .

2) The website homemade url is now <http://www.siteb.com/>. But when 
the site was created you may have contrived to make it 
<http://www.sitea.com/newsite/> , so you need to go to the server 
menu in Frontier and choose Change Site URL.  Enter your new home 
page url there, wait until you remember there isn't going to be any 
feedback from this operation and move on.

>My site = siteA.com

>New site = siteA.com/newSite

>Alias - siteB.com = siteA.com/newSite
