Binding, Domains, Servers, Linux, WHM, cPanel, whaaaaaaat? [Issue]

[Pixelbender]

Hi Everyone

Need some help. Willing to pay. I have a domain where the main domain mydomain.co.za is not bound to the Linux server we have, but it's bound to a Windows server and everything is running great.

However, I want to set up a demo site for my client on the mydomain.co.za domain, but not on the Windows servers, instead I want to install it on the Linux server but want to use the demo.mydomain.co.za to point to it.

So, in essence, the domain is going to a Windows box but I want the demo subdomain to point to a linux box with WHM and cPanel, I was told this is possible, so I set up the demo.mydomain.co.za in WHM and I can go to the cPanel account and view the site when I go the the IP/~demoname

BUT when I try to go to demo.mydomain.co.za through a browser, it redirects to the MAIN site that I set for the Linux server, ie: otherdomain.co.za

Can anyone help?

Hi OP,

This design will work best if you create a DNS A record for the subdomain and point that to your Linux hosting server with Cpanel.

The parent root domain will point to your windows server and the sub domain will point to the C-Panel server.

That's the issue, we created an A record for the sub.domain_on_linux to point to the linux server but when you go to the sub.domain it goes to the main.domain_on_linux

So it's going to the right server, just seems that the headers or something doesnt go to the right domain.
