Creating Aliases for a Website

To add an alias (additional domain) to your website in the Bitrix7 system, you will need to make corresponding changes in the Nginx and Apache configuration files, and then restart the web servers.

Making Changes

• For Nginx

Configuration files are available at the following paths:

/etc/nginx/bx/site_enabled/bx_ext_site_name.conf
/etc/nginx/bx/site_available/bx_ext_ssl_site_name.conf

You need to open each of these files and find the line with the server_name mydomain.com directive, where mydomain.com is the primary domain name of your site.

Simply add the alias, separating it with a space after the already specified domain, for example:

server_name mydomain.com mydomain2.com;

• For Apache

The configuration file is available at the following path:

/etc/httpd/bx/conf/bx_ext_site_name.conf

Open the file and find the line with the ServerAlias www.mydomain.com directive, where mydomain.com is the primary domain name of your site.

Simply add the alias, separating it with a space after the specified domain, for example:

ServerAlias www.mydomain.com mydomain2.com;

Verification

After making changes in the configuration files, it's essential to ensure that they have been applied correctly.

To do this, you can execute the following commands:

• For Nginx

nginx -t

If all changes have been applied successfully, you will see the following result of the command:

nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

• For Apache

apachectl -t

After executing this command, you should see the following message:

Syntax OK

Applying Changes

To apply the changes made, you need to restart the web servers.

To do this, execute the following commands sequentially:

• For Nginx

nginx -s reload

• For Apache

apachectl graceful
