Really? That seems very strange.

Are you sure?

The uni host my site
Google appear to host my domain name

I just can’t seem to get to the bottom of linking the two. .

I guess my host is the university, as the installation is on their servers. Hmm. . . .

It sounds like I’d have to do something at their end, which is what I said to them first of all, but they don’t seem to want to do it. Ha ??

Mirroring sounds like what I need. .

You mean Google? Yeah need to see if I can point it somehow :1

The guy at uni support mentioned something about not doing virtual hosting, but also not sure what bearing that would have on it. His last reply was the one you saw.

‘if my mirror is’ I’m not sure what you mean . .

It’s hosted on my university webspace. This was their reply to my issue: –

Hi Andrew,

It’s not possible to point a DNS domain to a webpage. However, assuming your ISP has given you a minimal amount of web space, you can create an index.html containing a redirect as described in:

It’s possible that the ISP may have a web redirection facility that you can use – have a look at the control panel they provide.

I had a look in Google Apps admin and it only appears to be able to forward to and from google site addresses, it’s not clear. .

Ok, I just did it because I thought it may had been missed. .

Thanks for the reply ??

That’s right; I just want to point the domain to the school url. Would that mean that when you’re at the site, it would have the ‘pointed from’ domain in the address bar?

Any heads up?

Right, from what I can see – it appears that the ‘Edit wp-config.php’ fix (from https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL ) doesn’t change the location / value in the database: –

“NOTE: It won’t change the Database value though, and the url will revert to the old database value if this line is removed from wp-config. Use the RELOCATE constant to change the siteurl value in the database.”

So when I get home am gonna try the below method: –

I just hope the aforementioned ‘Edit functions.php’ fix from the same area won’t cause any further issue (see first post). .

The error came from removing one or more lines from the general settings page within the WordPress admin panel. .

This post was moved without my knowledge – hopefully someone over here will be able to help. .
