EDITED question
It last 2 weeks search.cpan.org was down many times. Yes i know here is a metacpan, but zilion of links from the net points to search.cpan.org so the metacpan isn't the "only" solution.
Want make a local redirector, by entering to my /etc/hosts something like:
search.cpan.org 127.0.0.1
and run an simple PSGI (or Apache) server on localhost:80 what should done the redirects. So the requests for "search.cpan.org" would be processed at "localhost" with the script and it should return valid 302 responses and redirect to metacpan.org.
#Mpapec pointed to mcpan.org - what doing exactly for what i looking, so now enoudh redirect every request to "mcpan.org".
After edited my /etc/hosts as above, tried the next apache config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName search.cpan.org
RedirectPermanent / http://search.mcpan.org/
</VirtualHost>
but doesn't work. Would be nice to get some help. Or an alternative, a simple app.psgi script would be nice too.
So, the questions are:
how to configure local apache for redirects search.cpan.org -> search.mcpan.org
or how to write a simple app.psgi for running it with plackup -p 80 for the same function
and one offtopic question:
know anyone something about the status and a future of search.cpan.org?
search.cpan.org is run by Graham Barr. For questions about websites that he runs, you'll have to contact him.
The source code is not available. That's why MetaCPAN sprang up.
I wouldn't bother with a redirector. Maybe a Greasemonkey script, though :)
I was an configuration error in my apache. The next works.
1.) edit /etc/hosts and add a line IP.OF.YOUR.LOCAL.WEBSERVER search.cpan.org, e.g.:
127.0.0.1 search.cpan.org
2.) for apache (i have 2.4) into httpd.conf enter
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName search.cpan.org
Redirect / http://search.mcpan.org/
</VirtualHost>
3.) Be sure than your apache listening on port 80 e.g. have a directive
Listen 80
With the above, every request to "search.cpan.org" get redirected to "search.mcpan.org" and the "mcpan" redirects it to "metacpan". It is suboptimal, would be nicer to have a set of rewrite rules what redirects directly into "metacpan", but works.

I recently installed XAMPP and got the installation spot-on after a few attempts. I've followed instructions to download a copy of my website (from public_html) and database and got the files under htdoc and set up and imported the database; all well and good.
However, I've been battling a bit with setting up the local virtual host environment, and it is here I think I may have inadvertently screwed something up - Whenever I call my site at localhost/shf21.build, I get the very same; there appears to be a second instance of http// (incorrect, as there is no colon between the p and the first /) somehow infused 'just after the initial https:// (yes, I created an SSL cert/key pair for this site), as follows:
https://**http//**localhost/shf21.build/wp-signup.php?new=localhost
And it is the same on all 4 browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Opera and Edge), enven after clearing browser data and cookies several times.
Other changes I made was in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhost.conf and C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts as follows:
httpd-vhost.conf
<VirtualHost shf21.build:443>
ServerName shf21.build
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/shf21.build/"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "certs/shf21.build/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "certs/shf21.build/server.key"
</VirtualHost>
Hosts
127.0.0.1 https:/localhost/shf21.build
I have flushed DNS and reset network settings a few times, to no avail. I do hope there is someone that will be able to assist me in sorting out my dilemma...

I have a version of keycloak running on my AlmaLinux server. This service runs on port 8080. I can access it using <SERVER-IP>:8080. I however, want to access the service using mysubdomain.mymaindomain.com. This way, the user is not confronted with port-numbers, and I suppose using autoSSL is easier (I cannot get it to work on a different port).
I tried multiple things.
The first (I know, very sketchy) was rerouting using htaccess. I made a rewrite condition that looped to localhost:8080. At first glance this worked, but redirects did not work. I suppose this is, since the service thinks it runs on 'localhost:8080' (what it of course does), and thus redirects (on the browser side) to localhost:8080/home for example.
The second thing I tried was adding this code to the virtualhost config file.
I added this using the WHM environment in the server configuration > apache configuration > include editor. There I tried both 'Pre Virtual Host Include' and 'Post Virtual Host Include' (Originating from here).
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/public_html/keycloak_public"
ServerName mysubdomain.mymaindomain.com
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
That did not work, I found out I had to use a proxy. So I appended the following code behind the former part. (Originating from here).
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#mymaindomain.com
ServerName mysubdomain.mymaindomain.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
# setup the proxy
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>
However, when I go to mysubdomain.mymaindomain.com this still loads the empty directory, instead of the equivalent of :8080.
According to the above mentioned thread, I have to enable proxy somehow, but I did not find a way to do so in Cpanel, so I kind of assumed it was enabled (I'm sorry). Can that be the problem, or should I look somewhere else in order to fix this problem?
The solution turned out to be replacing the * with the server-ip!
So i'm curious what kind of redirection dyndns.org ist using.
We used to have an Account there but we cancelled it, we build a Inhouse IP collection solution.
BUT:
Some host urls XY.dyndns.org where used for VPN (unifi l2tp) connections and i can't figure out how i have to setupt the php or .htaccess for redirecting like dyndns.org urls. dyndns was host with ip setting
what i have:
danymic IP
some Domain vpn.domain.com which gets my external IP from Modem at home (domainserver is in some Datacenter)
solution must be done with JS, PHP or .htaccess
what i want is:
vpn.domain.com is used as VPN Target Server Domain
This Domain should redirect to my external IP from Home which is the real VPN Access Point. When i use the IP directly the VPN tunnel is created properly.
i already tried with php header location and .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://10.125.111.111/$1 [R=301,L]
so i'm out of knowledge, please bring me in right direction.
what i

As far as I could research, I would need some root server with the ability to change the IP Routing Tables. My 0815 Webserver isn't the right the choice for this.
I'm trying to create a subdomain in my virtual server (it's a centOS). I have edited the httpd.conf file like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/zend/
<Directory "/var/www/html/zend">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ServerName zend.mydomain.es
</VirtualHost>
When I try www.mydomain.es it's work fine, but when I try zend.mydomain.es I get Server Not Found error.
Are there any other files i must configure for this to work?
You should also setup dns for the your subdomain and make sure subdomain is pointing to the correct ip
Also check ping if it is replying:
ping zend.mydomain.es
If the IP is correct check both Apache logs (error.log and access.log).
I would recommend verifying your DNS settings for the subdomain.
E.g. If you are hosting with GoDaddy, I would recommend making sure
you have an entry for your subdomain there and that the IP points to
the same box.
Next, if you haven't yet, after you make your changes to httpd.conf
you need to restart the httpd service for the changes to take
affect. So try service httpd restart
Hopefully one of those helps solve your issue.
I have a website I am building on localhost:
http://localhost/my-website
I need to test it on my iPhone, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Do I just change my httpd-vhosts.conf file, and, if so, what are the settings?
Assuming that your development machine is called my-macbook-pro, you should just be able to navigate to http://my-macbook-pro.local/mywebsite on your iPhone.
To expand slightly on Richard J. Ross III's answer, "localhost" is a name used to refer only to the local computer. In order for your iPhone to be able to access content on that machine it must:
Have an IP address on the same network as the server machine.
This can be achieved by connecting the iPhone to a wireless access point that is on the same network as the PC, or by creating an ad-hoc wireless network between the two devices.
Respond to HTTP requests from network clients.
Assuming the server and the iPhone are on the same network, it should be possible for traffic to flow between them. However in order for your web content to be visible to the iPhone, the web server must also be configured to respond to requests made to the server machine's IP address.
This is not normally a problem as web servers are commonly configured to respond to HTTP requests sent to any of the machines IP addresses. It is possible that a server could be configured to only respond to local requests, however this is not a typical default setting
How you check or modify this setting is dependent upon the HTTP server software you are using. As this information is not specified I will include instructions for Apache2 as this is a very common choice of HTTP server.
Apache's Listen Directive
Apache's main configuration file is httpd.conf and it is located in the conf subdirectory of your Apache directory. The location of your Apache root directory will vary depending upon what operating system you are using and whether or not a custom location was chosen at installation.
The httpd.conf file contains a directive named Listen which controls the interface (IP address and port) on which Apache listens for incomming HTTP requests.
The default form of this directive is commonly
Listen 80
This specifies that the machine will respond on any of it's IP addresses to requests made on port 80, which is the default port for HTTP traffic.
You can modify the Listen directive to use any address associated with the machine including the loopback address (127.0.0.1) which the name localhost resolves to.
If Apache is set up to only listen on the loopback address then your server machine will only respond to requests made on the local machine. In this configuration, your Listen directive will look something like:
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
If this is the case, you will need to change to either listening on all addresses, as in the example above, or listening only on the address used by the iPhone to communicate with the server machine.
100% working solutions
(for linux + apache + vhosts)
If you are using vhost (several sites on the same server apache) the next several tips can help you view your local websites on mobile:
1) VHOST edit -You should go to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ on your server. There can be several files .conf, each file contain a virtual host configuration for apache. Default file will look like 000-default.conf. Open it (or another one) with admin permissions sudo. In that file you should see something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName auction.dev
ServerAdmin test#test.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_html/html
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
2) XIP.IO - this special service (its totally free) can help you. You should add to .conf file next line - ServerAlias auction.dev.*.xip.io, after this operation your file will look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName auction.dev
ServerAlias auction.dev.*.xip.io
ServerAdmin test#test.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_html/html
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
After editing you should save this file and restart apache with command sudo apachectl restart.
3) View from mobile - You need to know ip of your server, in my situation ip = 192.168.1.247. Now in your mobile browser just type auction.dev.192.168.1.247.xip.io and you should see your local website.
I'm working with xampp. localhost works on port 8080.
I just find my ip with ipconfig and surf to http://10.0.0.1:8080.
That easy!
If you just want a better feel of the native behavior instead of just browser dev tools you can use the iOS simulator and type localhost:xxxx in safari app.
For OSX, go to System Preferences / Sharing. There, you can find and change the name of your computer. In the same section, you also have to enable "Internet Sharing" service with "iPhone USB" port.
Then you can view your website at http://{ computer_name }.local/my-website.
When you connect your ipod with the cable to your macbook the device appears in safari on your mac in the menu under developers. When you click this option you can see exact the same as you can on your ipod.
Following these steps worked for me:
https://mtm.dev/iphone-localhost-mac
It is based on Internet Sharing via USB and setting & using the device_name which is then used as mentioned as <device_name>.local:<port>
