white label and domain/url issues

[asamm]

Hi,
We are currently developing a white label website, the idea is that some of our partners link to our white label shop and call it thierShop and than when someone clicks on that link they will arrive to our white label website and on the address bar it will appear as thierShop.whitelabel.com

The problem:
We also have an online shop. which has a url (like www.ourshop.com) What we want is that we use the same package together with its database for our shop and white label.

I don not know how to tackle this issue so that our site appears like our www.ourshop.com and not as ourshop.whitelabel.com.

We are using php and mysql on a windows server

I would appreciate any ideas and advice on this

Which HTTP server are you running on this windows server? If it is Apache you are in luck, have a look at the ServerName [httpd.apache.org] and ServerAlias [httpd.apache.org] directives.

thanks coopster

I think I understand what you want to do

Open IIS Manager on the server
Click websites
Highlight whitelabel.com
Right click
Select Properties
Select the website tab
Click Advanced
Click Add
Set TCP Port= 80
Set Host header value = www.ourshop.com
Click OK
Click OK
Click OK

Thanks gpmgroup for your reply,

i am newbie to server management, I could not find those on our server, we use PLESK. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me how to do that on PLESK.

I'm not familiar with Plesk but you need to run IIS Manager from your remote desktop. (Possibly Services management / Remote Access options?)

Start > Run > inetmgr <---- on your Remote Desktop

I managed to do that by remote desktop, I added our shop.com,

at the moment when I type that address(ourshop.com) our current shop is appearing that is what we want for the time being.

I am a bit confused that how can i get the new (ourshop.com) i have just created on our whitelabel start to affect. will that have any side affect to our current shop? (they both have the same url now.

I am going to delete it back. and wait until we are ready to go live.

What other issues should i take into consideration

[asamm]

After following the instruction on (Open IIS Manager on the server ....) , now the sever gives a 404 error for all of our partners.whtelabel.com sites.

Descriptions:
We had previously created about 7 websites each with an address like partner1.whitelabel.com partner?.. and so on. they were all accessible until I did some amends in the server.

Now All of them are unaccessible? however they are in our Master administration page. I dont know what happen to them.

any ideas?

thanks

I corrected it, I added all those clients to server

thanks guys
