hi,

i installed wordpress, which was perfectly working with my heliohost domain (http://maxetti.heliohost.org).

 

then i added and alias domain (http://riccardomasetti.org) with domain root '/home/maxetti/public_html' and no redirection.

 

finally, i set 'http://riccardomasetti.org' in the 'siteurl' and 'home' fields of the 'wpdp_options' table in the wordpress db.

 

now, if i visit http://riccardomasetti.org i get redirected to http://riccardomasetti.org/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

 

and if i visit http://riccardomasetti.org/wp-admin/ i get redirected to http://riccardomasetti.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmaxetti.heliohost.org%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1, with a 404 error...

 

what am i missing?

You haven't waited for the domain to finish setting up. When you add a domain, it can take several hours before it works (up to 2 in most cases, but load can sometimes make it take longer).

 

Wait a few hours, clear your browser cache, and try again. It'll probably work :)

thanks for your replies, it is now working indeed...

 

just a couple of suggestions:

- update heliohost wikis and howtos, as the 'parked domains' button is not present anymore in cpanel and it has been replaced with the 'aliases' button: it took me several time to guess it...

- add a warning in the alias creation page, informing about the need to wait for the changes to work

TIL a modern equivalent to that ancient mediawiki install actually exists.

 

I remember the upgrade project being abandoned (I personally never liked MW anyway), but its interesting to see someone rebuilt it in better software.
