Accepted a freelance job. Fairly simple, just need Apache to redirect domainA.tld to domainB.tld but the address bar on the browser would still read domainA.tld. Based on the job posting, nothing else is needed after that.

At first, he didn't want to hire me because of my race. The previous person, the same race as me, fucked up his CPANEL (so he says). But I assured him that I can help.

I completed the job but then he said he also wanted domainB.tld to redirect to domainA.tld. I don't think he understood the concept of a redirect. On top of that, he wanted it to be a *permanent* (301) redirect.

I wish I had the power to punch someone on the Internet.

So what *did* he really want?

@nitnip domainA is hosted on cPanel of their client. They made a staging site, domainB hosted on another server running DirectAdmin. They want me to redirect traffic to the staging site because it's the one they're working on.

They don't want to use the cPanel account of the client. So I asked them to just point the IP of domainA to domainB and make config changes to DirectAdmin to change domainB to domainA. Problem is the guy who hired me doesn't know who has access to domainA and even their client doesn't know who does.

The guy who hired me works for a digital web agency and looking at their portfolio led me to believe they know what they're doing.

I just ended the contract since I did my part. Last night, he's blaming me because their client is not getting emails from a form-to-mail WP plugin that I never touched. He contacted their support and they told him it's not my fault and that he's confused but he still blames me for not getting the redirect right in the first place.

@molaram too extreme. I wouldn't fuck that.

You need access to dns and a bit of htaccess on the desired server.

@fruitfcker Props for doing what you were tasked to do and not being bullied into doing the extra work.
