The reason this question still often arises is because, as you mentioned, somewhere somehow someone presumed as important wrote that the RFC states domain names without subdomain in front of them are not valid. If you read the RFC carefully, however, you’ll find that this is not exactly what it says. In fact, RFC 1912 … Read more
Your “listen” directives are wrong. See this page: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html. They should be server { listen 80; server_name www.domain1.example; root /var/www/domain1; } server { listen 80; server_name www.domain2.example; root /var/www/domain2; } Note, I have only included the relevant lines. Everything else looked okay but I just deleted it for clarity. To test it you might want … Read more
You don’t need jQuery for this, as simple javascript will suffice: alert(document.domain); See it in action: console.log(“Output;”); console.log(location.hostname); console.log(document.domain); alert(window.location.hostname) console.log(“document.URL : “+document.URL); console.log(“document.location.href : “+document.location.href); console.log(“document.location.origin : “+document.location.origin); console.log(“document.location.hostname : “+document.location.hostname); console.log(“document.location.host : “+document.location.host); console.log(“document.location.pathname : “+document.location.pathname); For further domain-related values, check out the properties of window.location online. You may find that location.host is … Read more
As per RFC1912 section 2.4: A CNAME record is not allowed to coexist with any other data. In other words, if suzy.podunk.xx is an alias for sue.podunk.xx, you can’t also have an MX record for suzy.podunk.edu, or an A record, or even a TXT record. Especially do not try to combine CNAMEs and NS records … Read more
I was running into the exact same problem that Saurav described, but I really needed to find a solution that did not require anything other than Route 53 and S3. I created a how-to guide for my blog detailing what I did. Here is what I came up with. Objective Using only the tools available … Read more
If you’re on Mac, restarting the DNS responder fixed the issue for me. sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Well, the most likely difference is that you still have to do an actual lookup of localhost somewhere. If you use 127.0.0.1, then (intelligent) software will just turn that directly into an IP address and use it. Some implementations of gethostbyname will detect the dotted format (and presumably the equivalent IPv6 format) and not do … Read more
No, that’s not possible. The port is not part of the hostname, so it has no meaning in the hosts-file.
The short answer is that it’s usually not possible, unless you control the domain. Option 1: ANY query When you query for ANY, you will get a list of all records at that level but not below. # try this dig google.com any This may return A records, TXT records, NS records, MX records, etc … Read more
