Weird behavior of Direct Admin

team_traitorteam_traitor Member
in Help

I have been searching for a while but I cannot find an answer for my problem.

I created a subdomain and everything went well, directories were created properly and everything seems fine until I open the subdomain on my browser. I got an error, upon close inspection I notice that the subdomain is redirecting wrong.

instead of subdomain.domain.tld it is redirected to www.subdomain.domain.tld

I am an Nginx guy so adding subdomain is a piece of cake. So what happens? Why is that it is behaving that way?

I also uncheck the Force SSL with https redirect cause I thought this is the error.

Site Redirects are empty.

What did I do wrong @DA_Mark ?

Does anyone experience this? How did you fix it?

    I am reluctant to assist a traitor.

    Not that I've helped anyone on LET ever.

    Maybe non-www to www redirect is set in the control panel? :smile:

    Check your redirection rules. Maybe you set something there

    Probably the .htaccess file for your root domain which is followed in the sub domain because it’s document root is under the root, and htaccess is recursive.

    @ViridWeb @jar @smtalk

    I only have a simple .htaccess script.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    I forgot to mention. I use custom directory for the subdomain. I don't want to see my sudomain under the root domain directory.

    The root document path is
    /domains/domain.com/public_html

    The subdomain path is
    /domains/domain.com/subdomain.domain.com

    Interesting. Confirmed redirect via curl as well to rule out any browser oddities? Any chance a web app served there could be doing it?

    @jar

    <!DOCTYPE html>



    404 Not Found

    Not sure what happens. I still have this issue where my subdomain is being redirected to www.subdomain.domain.com

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    I'm thinking like a:

    curl -I subdomain.domain.com

    So like if I curl my site I see the redirect like:

    Jarlands-MacBook-Pro:~ jarlanddonnell$ curl -I http://mxroute.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2020 22:42:33 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 162
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://mxroute.com/

    Assuming you do as well, in which case it'll be time to dig deeper. If it's not user level and it's not htaccess, then I'm wondering if there's a global template customization on the server: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=2

    If change the ip address to my Nginx server it works fine. I have opened a ticket to my provider I would like to check what is the error since I cannot open it.

    Does DA have this behavior or just my browser messing with me? But how come my nginx server is fine? So weird. Hope @DA_Mark is active and checking this out.

    thanks @jar

    So that return suggests that the web server isn't doing a www redirect. That would suggest that either your web browser or web application is doing it. Sort of like how Wordpress will redirect to it's SITEURL value in the database, many web applications do that, some less obvious about where it's done than others.

    @team_traitor said: If change the ip address to my Nginx server it works fine

    Would that be that the subdomain is now pointing to a different web server in this case, and therefore not the same hosting data at all?

    @team_traitor said: Does DA have this behavior or just my browser messing with me?

    It does not.

    @team_traitor said: But how come my nginx server is fine?

    My theory is shifting to the idea that it's because it isn't serving an application that's redirecting to www. Web application redirect sounds highly likely at this point. That's the redirect that would occur after headers.
