Login Issue with 2 domains to one server

Kris2 years ago

All

I have stupidly forgotten to renew a domain (domainA.com) assigned to my Traccar server. As a contingency, I have another domain that I can use which I have allocated a subdomain (sub.domainb.com) to redirect to the server IP just in case the original domainA.com stops working.

This seems to work fine as the sub.domainb.com resolves and I get to the traccar login screen.
however, i cannot log in with my username and password when using the alternative sub.domainB.com. (no change to usernames or passwords)
If i go to the original domainA.com which thankfully still resolves I can log in with no problem.

What am I missing and have to change the new sub.domainB.com redirect to let me login?

If you can still login with the default domain then change the password after login. So you can be sure you use the actual new password when you try with sub.domainB.com

It actually should not matter which domain you use as long as you point it to the same server ip.

Meaby you can also acces the traccar server through the ip instead of the domain name also ?

To test i would als ping these domains through command line to check if they point to the same ip:
ping domainA.com
ping sub.domainB.com

Logicly you also must have configured the sub domain on your server in apache / nginx. Which webserver do you use ?

@Track-trace
The first thing I tried was to change the password. I can log in to domainA.com with that password but not sub.domainB.com or via IP. As I use a cloud provider I can't log in using the provided default URL either.
an nslookup on all 3 domains to the same IP.

ill need to check the apache webserver thing.

If you can log in with one domain, but not the other, they must be pointing to different servers. Or maybe you're using iframe instead of proper DNS.

OK shoot me with a blunt spoon.

Antivirus blocking my connection as the CERT no longer matches.
