howto: all websites - media subdomain rev 13 sep 2019 ....................................................... process: Serve all media from a subdomain, like media.sitename.tld But whyy? - cookie control which gives better privacy for users (cookies are shared only in same domain: subdomain is a different domain! so no cookies.) http://www.ravelrumba.com/blog/static-cookieless-domain/ - easier file management. - easier backup - everything is in one place. - consistency. ....................................................... files: Examples in folder .htaccess 403.html 403.shtml ....................................................... process: 1. Make subdomain in cpanel. 2. Make subdomain in dns. 3. Make folder images and whatever. 4. Upload standard .htaccess (see in this folder) 5. Upload standard 403.html (see in this folder) and its symlink 403.shtml (which cPanel wants to see). 6. If a WP/CP site and you want to use Media Manager, see other file that explains how to do that. Better -- don't do that! Media Manager is like a glittery toy: it looks like it makes things easier -- but it doesn't. _______________________________________________________ begin 18 may 2019 -- 0 --
