Setting up a new redirect

Test out before DNS changes

• On web7, add the domain (and www. version) to /etc/httpd/vhosts.d/_redirector.conf as ServerAliases
• In the database, add a record to the domains table. You don’t need to add a separate www. record—the same record will catch both
• In your hosts file, point that domain (and www. version) to 65.61.136.20
• Test to make sure the redirect works and adds an entry to the hits table in the DB
• Remove hosts file entry

Make DNS changes

• Set up the domain in Rackspace
• Point the main domain.org to web7
• Set up www.domain.org as a CNAME to domain.org
• At the registrar, set up the domain to use Rackspace’s DNS servers
