When I want to create a sub domain in my cpanel, it goes in:
home/public_html/sub domain
But I want to create its root path there:
home/sub domain
How can I do this?
add the sub domain as a primary domain from WHM and that should the trick.
by adding it in such way will make you administrate it as a separate account.

I have two domains.
thingrate.com
modulgram.com
there is an app under mg.modulgram.com domain. There is a web.config file under this domain for rewrite rules. for example : mg.modulgram.com/orders/
I want to run this app under yasam.thingrate.com with pretty links. for example : yasam.thingrate.com/orders/
my app will be under of mg.modulgram.com domain only. I don't want to copy my app to yasam.thingrate.com.
is that possible and how can I do that?
I have a github project and have generated a gh pages from it and is forwarding the domain from godaddy. But I am facing issues.
1. First it is a project's website and I can't add '/' and this forces me to opt for domain forwarding.
2. Second, GitHub complains about my setup and I have trouble figuring out what to do.
Thanks in advance.
Check the GitHub docs, in case you want to point the naked domain to your gh-pages add this A records:
your-domain.tld A 192.30.252.153
your-domain.tld A 192.30.252.154
For example check this project: http://go-www.com/
The repository name needs to be go-www.github.com and also you need to have a CNAME file within the repository;
In this case, the content of the CNAME is:
go-www.com
Within your DNS provider, you will need to create a CNAME for your domain pointing to your GitHub account at github.io, for the example.
www.go-www.com CNAME <your-github-account>.github.io
Yes exactly, you can do such a thing with your Gmail to be more shorter and make you so quickly, like mailer#yahoo.com is one example, you can change your account with some none relivant letters but in a proper field like HTML5 !!!
I'm trying to publish a library using Jitpack. By default the groupId is set to com.github.username.repo but I would like it to be com.mydomain.libs instead. The official docs say that for that I need to
Add a DNS TXT record that maps git.yourcompany.com to https://github.com/yourcompany
What does this actually mean? Should I do this somewhere on github or on my mydomain.com website?
It turned out, that this is something to be done on the mydomain.com website, so there is no way currently to set up a custom domain name on Jitpack if you don't own that domain name.
I created a Jekyll-powered blog and am hosting it with GitHub Pages.
Now, I want to set up a subdomain (blog.example.com), but can't make it work.
I have added a CNAME file with the text: blog.example.com. And I have added two A records in my Dreamhost account for the subdomain, both pointing to 204.232.175.78, provided by GitHub.
Any idea about what the missing part is, or if I'm doing something incorrectly?
The setup is different for domains like example.com and sub-domains like blog.example.com.
In case of a sub-domain: blog.example.com
Go to Domains | Manage Domains in your webpanel
Locate blog.example.com, click Delete in the Actions column
Wait 10 minutes, and then click the DNS link below example.com
Add a CNAME record:
Name = blog
Type = CNAME
Value = yourusername.github.io. (yes there is a . at the end!)
In case of a domain: example.com
Go to Domains | Manage Domains in your webpanel
Locate example.com, click Edit in the Actions column and switch to DNS only hosting (it's at the bottom)
Go back to Domains | Manage Domains in your webpanel
Click the DNS link below example.com
Add an A record:
Name = (blank, nothing)
Type = A
Value = 185.199.108.153 (GitHub, from this page)
Add a CNAME record:
Name = www
Type = CNAME
Value = yourusername.github.io. (yes there is a . at the end!)
(Yes, you need both the A and CNAME records in this case.)
Btw, the only reason I know this is because I did the same thing last weekend. I was quite lost, but the helpful support guys helped me half way, and I figured out the rest. This procedure works for me, I needed both cases so I tested both.
Because of the way DNS records are cached across the internet, these sorts of changes can take a few hours to take effect. It looks like the address you provided resolves correctly now.
I have created a website and placed it on github in the repo with USRNAME.github.com. First when I went to that website, my website displayed correctly. Then I bought a domain, lets say example.com. I placed a CNAME file in the repo, so now USRNAME.github.com forwards to example.com.
I understand that I have to point my domain at the github server in order to allow my website to be displayed at example.com, but I'm not sure how. I created the site through gandi.net. I tried editing the zone file to have a CNAME entry with USRNAME.github.com but that didn't work. I also tried to edit the DNS server name but no entry I placed in there seemed valid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As you understood, the CNAME file on the github side must be completed by a custom DNS setting on the registrar side, in order to complete the matching between your domain name (example.com) and the subdomain on github. The CNAME file is required by github to route incoming request on its own DNS Zone (192.30.252.153) to the proper user subdomain.
Therefore, the missing step is having your domain actually pointing to github's DNS Zone. On the registrar side (gandi.net), you achieve that by editing the DNS Zone file attached to your domain. This zone file describes the hierarchical domain name structure of the DNS Zone that your very domain pertains to. What you are about to do is changing the mapping between some parts of your DNS Zone and IPs. When you want to point a top-level-based domain name to an arbitrary IP v4 (here, github's DNS Zone located at 192.30.252.153), you are interested in redefining an A Record (A simply standing for "Address") in your own zone.
A specific answer for gandi.net:
head to https://www.gandi.net/admin/domain
click on the domain you want to use
at the bottom of its admin page, under "Zone files", click on "Edit the zone"
Here you can see the list of settings for your zone file. A new feature of Gandi is that of "versions": different versions of the zone file can be created and only one is active at a time.
To tweak the zone file for github, first click on "Create a new version". It will simply create a copy of the currently activated version.
The preferred way for wiring is to add a new CNAME mapping, from *.{yourdomain.tld} to {youraccount}.github.io. For instance, my kaibun.net domain must be the facade for chikamichi.github.io, so I added a CNAME mapping *.kaibun.net to chikamichi.github.io. (the final dot is mandatory in gandi's config).
You may want to edit the * and # record types settings as well, for instance if you just want the whole DNS zone to behave like a "proxy" (meaning it will "redirect" to your github subdomain no matter what). This is not required though, so this step is optional. I assume you are still in Normal edit mode. Click on the Pen icon on the right side of the * line. Keep all fields untouched but the "Value" one: paste the github URI in (the github documentation recommends using 204.232.175.78; you may have found different values on the internet, though: don't use them). Validate, then proceed the same for the # line.
Do not forget to click on "Activate this version" when you're ready. Check that the "Active version number" is correct. The changes will take some time to propagate.
Detailled examples and procedure: http://wiki.gandi.net/dokuwiki/en/dns/zone/a-record
You need to setup an A record which points to the github server. You said you used gandi.net, so basically you would change your DNS settings for the top level domain by adding(or modifying) an A record to point to github.
If you want, you can add a subdomain (like www.) by adding a CNAME in your DNS to point to the top level domain or an A record which, again, points to github.
