Server Manipulation using Linode Manager or other techniques to develop a mirror site

A quick question, does anyone know how I can take an address say www.google.com and create a mirror site such as www.newsite.google.com ?

I'm a beginner when it comes to server testing and server manipulation. I normally just drag and drop through SFTP/FTP.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Thanks, Chris

Solution

  • After a couple of tips from a former colleague, we sat down and talked about this issue.

    First of all we mentioned APACHE VHOSTS - needed to add a directory for my sub domain, e.g. new.google.com

    To do this I had to SSH the server and perform sudo, vim and a range of commmands on directories and files.

    As I use linode manger, I had to add an A record to make the sub domain active/work.

    All now works and I have a new sub domain.
