Strange redirects between top level servers

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hi,

I’m getting strange 302 redirects from one top level server’s alias to another top level server.

This is the setup:

example.com --domain2.com --domain3.com

example2.com
–domain4.com

And when I try to visit domain4.com I get a strange 302 redirection:

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2016 21:53:01 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.6
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.16
Location: http://www.example.com/wp-signup.php?new=domain4.com
Cache-Control: private, no-cache, no-store, proxy-revalidate, no-transform
Expires: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 21:53:01 GMT
Vary: User-Agent
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Any idea how is this possible and where to check? There is no folder for aliases under “domains” sub directory, so no .htaccess files going rouge. And as far as I understand it, they should automatically redirect to domains that they are aliases of.

I also checked Apache Virtual Server directives for example2.com and domain4.com is not listed as an alias. So then I played around a little and I think alias domain gets listed in Apache directive in case it is created as “alias with own email”.

So, could perhaps this be an issue? Should I do any kind of manual redirection for alias domain (with only DNS domain feature enabled)? I’m not familiar with the protocol, so any kind of direction and/or help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

OK,

if I add ServerAlias manually into Apache directives, everything works. As it should…

Is this a bug? What is an expected behaviour of alias with ONLY DNS domain feature enabled?

Hey there, i have same issue, whenever i create virtual server for a website, the website automatically redirects 302 error to the previous website created with virtual server.
How you solved your issue, dns works ok, when i ping website i get response, but what ever i put in public_html and i try website will redirect me to another previous website from previous virtual server.

This is a common issue, covered in the troubleshooting common problems guide: The Wrong Site Shows Up

There are other ways for this to happen…but, this is the most common.
