Restoring sites from archive.org

You can host multiple domains on one server by copying only the domain folders into .domains and updating index.php if the version changes.

If you have access to a level above the root, you can move .domains there and rename it to domains for convenience.

The .domains folder and the .htaccess file may be hidden. Use your OS tools to display hidden files.

The file .domains/config.php contains settings for domains in subfolders and debug mode:

• domains-as-subfolders: lets you run websites from subfolders.
• title: sets the title on the technical domain homepage.
• home: shows a link back to the list of domains.
• plugs: defines placeholders for missing img/css/js files.
• debug: 0 or 1 to enable debug mode.
• css: adds CSS URLs to all domains, for example /css/layout.css,https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css. Add files to edits/public in the domain folder.
• js: adds JS URLs to all domains, for example /js/script.js,async:https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js. Add files to edits/public in the domain folder.

The file .domains/domain.com/config.php contains settings for a specific domain:

• protocol: the domain protocol.
• www: 0 or 1 to define whether www is used.
• plugs: defines placeholders for missing img/css/js files.
• gtmid: inserts the Googletag script at startup.
• css: adds CSS URLs, for example /css/layout.css,https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css. Add files to edits/public.
• js: adds JS URLs, for example /js/script.js,async:https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js. Add files to edits/public.

If you want to modify existing pages or add new ones, do it in this folder and leave the public folder untouched.

If added files have no extension or use a non-standard one, place metadata in the meta folder.

The .domains/domain.com/plugs folder is used for custom placeholders for missing img/css/js files.

The .domains/domain.com/404 folder contains redirects for missing URLs. You can add your own redirects there.

Add the following configuration to the appropriate http context, or create a file wbktor.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ with the following content:

server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;
    server_name _
    #    ~^wbk\. # use the subdomain `wbk.` for local testing. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION!!!
    ;
    root /var/www/wbktor/public;

    index index.php;
    server_tokens off;
    error_page 404 = /index.php;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        client_max_body_size 100M;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;

        # Uncomment and specify your FastCGI server call
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/path/to/php.socket;
        #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        #fastcgi_pass upstream-php-alias;

        fastcgi_param HTTP_HOST $host;
        fastcgi_param HTTP_X_REAL_IP $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        fastcgi_param HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO $scheme;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }
}

Comment out the default server block in nginx.conf.

If you use CloudFlare, add the following directives to the http context:

set_real_ip_from 103.21.244.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 103.31.4.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 104.16.0.0/12;
set_real_ip_from 108.162.192.0/18;
set_real_ip_from 131.0.72.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 141.101.64.0/18;
set_real_ip_from 162.158.0.0/15;
set_real_ip_from 172.64.0.0/13;
set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 188.114.96.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 190.93.240.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 197.234.240.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 198.41.128.0/17;
set_real_ip_from 2400:cb00::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2606:4700::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2803:f800::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:b500::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:8100::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2c0f:f248::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2a06:98c0::/29;
#real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;

Make sure the Apache mod_rewrite module is enabled in the httpd.conf file:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Also upload the .htaccess file from the archive to the site root.

To run a site on another domain, rename the domain folder inside .domains and update canonical and robots.txt accordingly.

Follow these steps to set up XAMPP and deploy your site:

1. Download and install XAMPP: Open the XAMPP project page, download XAMPP, and keep only the default PHP and Apache settings during installation.
2. Create a folder for the domain: Inside \xampp\htdocs, create a folder for the domain or technical domain, for example wbk.list) to run sites in subfolders, then unpack the archive there.
3. Update Apache virtual hosts configuration: In the file \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf, add the following lines to configure virtual hosts for your domains:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName wbk.list
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/wbk.list"
       <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/wbk.list">
           Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName wbk.domain.com
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/domain.com"
       <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/domain.com">
           Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>

4. Update the hosts file: In the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, add the following domains:

   127.0.0.1    wbk.list
   127.0.0.1    domain.com

5. Access your site: Open your browser and go to http://localhost/wbk.list | http://localhost/domain.com to view your site.
