How to Redirect the Root of this Domain

  • 772

I have created a launchrock.com page and I am directing signup.mydomain.com there using a CNAME record in the DNS. That works fine however now I want to direct root traffic there too, i.e. mydomain.com. How do I go about this?

Launchrock give instructions to change the IP address of the A record, however I don't want to do this since I have other subdomains in use, including beta.mydomain.com. (These subdomains need to continue operating as they currently do).

How do I do this? I'm not sure whether it's a DNS change or an Apache change.

I am using a recent version of Apache on Ubuntu on AWS EC2.

apache-2.4

  1. As it turns out, the answer was simply to put a redirect command in the virtual host setup for the root host.

    Redirect / http://signup.mydomain.com/
