I have a website hosted on a CentOS box (httpd service) as:



http://mycompany.the.global


Which I am able to access without hosts file entry in my local machine. On the home page of:



http://mycompany.the.global


I have few links to:



http://fin.mycompany.the.global
http://hr.mycompany.the.global
http://admin.mycompany.the.global


These links are not reachable. Though all these links are reachable when I make entry for these URLs in hosts file as below:



10.11.12.13 fin.mycompany.the.global
10.11.12.13 hr.mycompany.the.global 
10.11.12.13 admin.mycompany.the.global


I want these to be accessible without hosts file entry in my local machine. Main page http://mycompany.the.global is accessible without hosts file entry.

    If you want a domain name to be accessible without adding it to the hosts file, you have to have a valid DNS record. The simplest would here be to point fin.mycompany.the.global to mycompany.the.global as a CNAME record. That way, you'd only have to update one record when the IP change.

  • But how do I do that, I am naive at admin stuff. Can you please explain the process/steps

  • You check with whoever set up DNS for mycompany.the.global. This question has nothing to with Ubuntu, and will probably be closed. You may have more luck at Serverfault or Unix&Linux SE.

Which professions warranted travel in Medieval times?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 54 down vote favorite 15 I'm trying to come up with characters whose backgrounds allow them to have homes, histories, and skills, but will still enable or encourage them to travel in a typical medieval setting. I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks! EDIT: When I say traveling, I was thinking someone who spends multiple days/weeks/months away from their place of origin as they go elsewhere for their business, or to gather materials for it. medieval travel share | improve this question edited Aug 1 at 15:16 asked Aug 1 at 15:07 Julia Witham 279 2 7 11 Please ...

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
