How do I set up a redirect from a subdomain to a specific path in my site?

Running OS X Tiger Server 10.4.11 (all latest updates).
For our online Web site we want to be able to allow users to type in a simple URL to get to our sign-in page which has a terribly long URL.
User types http://signin.ourdomain.com ---> goes to ---> http://www.ourdomain.com/cj/priv/auth/signin.php
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Set up an "A" record with host name "signin" pointing to the IP address of this Web server in our DNS.
2) Set up 2 redirects (just in case) in Server Admin that look like this:
Redirect http://signin.ourdomain.com http://www.ourdomain.com/cj/priv/auth/signin.php
Redirect signin.ourdomain.com http://www.ourdomain.com/cj/priv/auth/signin.php
This seems to be right, but I cannot get it to work. Im missing something here. Typing http://signin.ourdomain.com simply takes me to http://www.ourdomain.com and not to the full path set up in the redirect.
I seem to be missing something here??? I've restarted Apache to ensure the changes take effect (restart graceful) but I still am not taken to the URL I want in the redirect.

Camelot,
I had the same idea last night (late) while I was stressing about getting this working. I tried the exact setup you mentioned and it still does not work. I am baffled!
Here is what I have:
1) An "A" record in my DNS with host = "signin" and IP address the same as my www.mydomain.com address
2) In Server Admin, created a new Web site called "signin.mydomain.com" with the Domain Name=signin.mydomain.com, same IP address as the www site, port 80.
3) set its document root to "/Library/WebServer/Documents/signin" which is just a subdirectory in my doc root. I even have an index.html file there that also does a redirect!
4) Added a redirect under the "Aliases" tab with the following: Style=Redirect, Pattern= / , Path=http://www.mydomain.com/cj/priv/auth/signin.com .
What baffles me to no end is that I even set up an index.html file in the new docroot for signin.mydomain.com that does an HTTP redirect to the signin page and it doesn't work either. It is like all my settings are being ignored by the server??? I made sure there was an entry in the /sites/ directory via terminal to ensure that Server Admin wasn't being flaky, it looks okay.
If I manually type the URL http://www.mydomain.com/signin/ it does the redirect just fine. The "signin" subdomain is active, since it at least takes me to www.mydomain.com, whereas if I entered one that was invalid like monkey.mydomain.com I would get a "failed to open page" error.
This can't be this hard? I must be missing something incredibly simple and stupid in my setup, but for the life of me, It all looks okay to me.

How do I set up email addresses from my address book?

How do I set up email addresses from my address book?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you are coming from pre-Mountain Lion, then Address Book has changed to Contacts.
Open Contacts.
Select an Account in the group list, if you want the contact in a specific group. If Groups aren't showing, you can display them from the View menu.
Click the Add card button ( + ).
Enter the information for the contact.
If you need multiple entries for a particular field type, a new blank entry will show up below the one you are adding.
If you need other fields, use the Card menu to Add a new field type.
If you want to change the default fields available when you create a new card, choose Edit Template…
If you have sent emails to someone and you want to get that address to add to a Contact, use the Previous Recipients command in the View menu in Mail.
If you need to add a new Group, hover the cursor over the account name, and a + button will appear. Click it.

HT204023 How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a wi-fi direct printer WITHOUT going through my household wi-fi network/modem?

How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a "wi-fi direct" printer WITHOUT going through my household wi-fi network/modem? I want to get rid of my household internet service/modem and only use my iPad, but need to be able to print. Please help! Thank you!

Depending on the printer, you may be able to connect/print by creating an ad-hoc (Wi-Fi direct with no router) connection. Check with your printer manufacturer to see if this is supported.
There's a ton of info out there. You could google "ipad print ad-hoc" for some useful info. But the number one thing for you right now is to verify that your printer model supports an ad-hoc connection.

How do I set a Phase Listener to only run for a specific page?

How do I set a Phase Listener to only run for a specific page?
I understand that a Phase Listener runs for ever page in the application, however I want a phase listener to only run for one page at the beginning of the application.
I discovered I can't use a Filter, because the JSF Application instance always returns null.
Thus, I thought a Phase Listener would be a good approach.
Thoughts?

How to pass on variables while redirecting from BSP to HTML page.

Hi all,
I have two BSP pages - BSP1, BSP2. When I click a submit button on BSP1, it should call BSP2 wherein BSP2 will work silently behind the scenes and redirect some variable values through hidden form fields to BSP1 back.
User will not see BSP2 in fact. He just deals with BSP1, but when he clicks the submit button on BSP1, it silently calls BSP2, and then BSP2 will process something behind the scenes and sends back values through hidden form fields to BSP1 by means of redirection. After redirection from BSP2 to BSP1, I am not getting the hidden fields in BSP1. From the BSP1, I am trying to get the hidden fields of BSP1 using:
Here is how my code in BSP2 (redirecting to BSP1) looks like:
<b>BSP2 : Layout:</b>
<input type="hidden" name="hf1" value="vicky">
<b>BSP2 : OnInitialization:</b>
response->redirect( url_BSP1 ).
navigation->response_complete( ).
But when I am doing this, the hidden form fields from BSP2 are not being passed to BSP1 back.
I am trying to get the form values <b>in BSP1</b> as below:
<b>BSP1 : Layout:</b>
   <%
   data: hfield type string.
   hfield = request->get_form_field('hf1').
   %>
I even tried the above code in onRequest, and onInitialization sections. But I am getting nothing.
Please give me some ideas on how to deal with the redirection and get the hidden values out of that.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Vicky.

Hi,
There are different ways to do it, but let's pick this one. It closes the popup. If you need additional things to be done, you can make a form with all hidden fields, submit that form, do the same close and do whatever you need in the inputprocessing
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
      <script language="javascript">
          function init() {
          <%if count eq 1.%>
              opener.document.form.F<%=field%>.value = '<%=value.%>';
          close();
         <%else.%>
      <%endif.%>
      </script>
</head>
<body onLoad="init();">
</body>
</html>

How do i set up the eprint from my blackberry so i can send emails to my printer and print them off

how do i set up eprint on my blackberry so i can send emails from my phone to the printer and print off

Hi Tanya_Carroll,
You can follow this link to set up ePrint.
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/hho/us/en/ep/articles/setting-up-mobile-printing.html
Once ePrint is setup, you can send an email to the printer's email address.
Be sure to use one of these email clients when sending to the printer. If the Blackberry will not send using your original email address, setup a new email account on the Blackberry and try again.
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail

How can I set automatically downloaded songs from iTunes on an existing playlist?

Hi! I have downloaded songs from itunes in my old macbook which appears automatically in the playlist, but when buy a new macbook and downloaded some songs, a new playlist ws created automatically and all recent song i"ve downloaded goes to that playlist, how can I set the song that I download to the old playlist automatically so I wont edit everytime I download songs, thank

emerchua wrote:

Might that new playlist be a smart playlist named something like "Recently Added"?
Yes, iTunes does create such a smart playlist and uses it to house recently downloaded songs.
If you want the songs to go to an existing playlist as well, set up the smart playlist to include rule(s) to include the latest additions.

How can i set up mail rules from an iPad?

I am familiar with using rules to filter email.
From my Mac at home I acces iCloud.com and have no problems.
I went away for the long weekend, and brought only my iPad.
I started receiving spam from a new source and wanted to filter it out.
From safari, when I go to iCloud I only have three choices, none of them useful.
I have tried to use different URLs but always get redirected to /ipad_welcome/
Is there a way to do this?
Or does the post-PC device still need a PC?

I think there is not a good solution for it (yet). The best solution is to check if you mailserver provides a spam filter solution. I use Gmail and it provides a filter on the serverside. This means the mail is filtered befor I receive it on my iPad (and iPhone). You can also set up a gmail account as a exchange and push all the filtered folders.
Cheers

How to change/set the browser title from web forms (XP platform with SP2)

I am running Form9i, I have set the browser windows title from Web Forms dynamically by using following method. However, when my PC has changed to XP, the function seems not work. Does anybody have same problem and how to solve it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Add the Javascript code to your baseHTML file. For example,
if you are using the basejini.htm:
<HEAD><TITLE>%pageTitle%</TITLE>
<script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript1.2">
function Change(a) { document.title=a; } </script>
</HEAD>
In web Forms , call the javascript function with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built.
For Example the following code set the browser title with username . web.show_document('javascript:Change('||'"'|| get_application_property(USERNAME)||'"'||')','_self');
Best Regards,
Bowie

Dear Frank,
Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me in detail which built-in function in Webutil can set value in browser title ?
Btw, is it possible for me to set parameter "separateFrame=True" in formsweb.cfg and set the form window title by using SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,v_msg_string)?
Best Regards,
Bowie

Make sure all of that are set. After you save and Exit start hitting F12 and it should give you the option to start Boot from CD/DVD.
