404 after subdomain redirect to new openlitespeed digital ocean droplet

[matej]

Hello,

I decided to give OLS a go considering the great benchmarks. I installed one click wordpress installation on DO.

I am not an expert on webhosting, so I would kindly ask for a help with my issue.

I already have a domain `www.goldenonestaffing.com` that I inherited from before. Now while developing, I wanted to redirect beta.goldenonestaffing.com to my IP 204.48.23.105 . When I go to the website directly from IP address, everything works great. But when I redirected, I got 404. I tried permanent and temporary redirect in google domains. I didnt try editing dns record directly.

any advice on what should I try?

p.s.
I removed the redirect once I saw it doesnt work.

assuming that you have configurated everything fine with www.goldenonestaffing.com domain on your DO box.
Now you want to point beta.goldenonestaffing.com to the above server, you can add that domain to lisener 80 and 443 at virutal host for www.goldenonestaffing.com to take both "www.goldenonestaffing.com, beta.goldenonestaffing.com" domains.

For testing purpose, Override your windows hosts file as the following and visit beta.goldenonestaffing.com to see if it works or not.
204.48.23.105 beta.goldenonestaffing.com

If it works, then you can change your dns setting poiting beta.goldenonestaffing.com to 204.48.23.105.
If not work, need to check your DO and find our why.

Thank you, I will try and report the update

Ok, I didn't quite get everything here.

goldeonestaffing.com is pointed to my old website, so I dont know how I need to configure it on my new digital ocean.

how is now the procedure to create beta.goldenonestaffing.com to point to the new DO

DO currently works at 204.48.23.105
Do I need to add new listener in ols admin panel or new virtual host?

thank you

"goldeonestaffing.com is pointed to my old website" do you mean you did not set up goldeonestaffing.com on your new server?

Which domain did you setup on your new server? beta.goldenonestaffing.com?

configuring a virtual host and domain are basic steps to do first before you want to setup any redirect.

Refer to our knowledge base to get your new server working first.

You can ask questions if knowledge base is not clear enough for you to setup your new DO up.

Hi @matej,

If you point your domain to the DO server and found out only IP works, probably listener haven't setup yet.

I am not sure if you have configured listener like this to accept your domain and sub domain on both http and https, you can also use `*` to accept all for you to test.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Best

I tried to set it up by your instructions. Can you please point me what am I doing wrong.

I appreciate your help



p.s. thx for support. I come from dev background, and I am not so experienced with servers and domains

 

[matej]

@Cold-Egg please help soon I will have to move my main domain to my new site, and I would be happy to figure it out on subdomain first.

Thank you

Your domain mapping should be ok, looks like your virtual host setup problem. Log a ticket with us with tmp root ssh access to it. We can check for you.
