Addind a startup script to be run on startup Debian

Oops, Since i'm just a newbie in handling debian server, I've noticed that some of my scripts are not working after a series of reboot and I've found out that /etc/rc.local does not work on debian linux. Looking over the internet I've found some link to point to my direction.

Answer is this : 

1. Ok so suppose you have a script you want to run each time you boot up( I have a script to start my internet connection with authentication).It is pretty easy 1. Write a script and put it in/etc/init.d/ directory. 

  Lets say you call it man.

2. Then run %update-rc.d man defaults.

3. Do not  forget to make the script you write executable , it can be done by chmod +x man.

% man update-rc.d for more information. It is a Debian utility to install scripts. The option “defaults” puts a link to start FOO in run levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. (and puts a link to stop man into 0, 1 and 6.)

Also, to know which runlevel you are in, use the runlevel command

Apache VirtualHost

I'm looking a solution for this one on apache configuration.

Problem: URL : test.sample.org/tes1 = test1.sample.org

and i want to redirect it to test1.sample.org if i have existing sud domain

Below is the solution : I'm running my Apache 2.2 on CentOS 5.0

Server configuration

NameVirtualHost 172.20.30.40

<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40>
# primary vhost
DocumentRoot /www/subdomain
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/.* /www/subdomain/index.html
# ...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40>
DocumentRoot /www/subdomain/sub1
ServerName www.sub1.domain.tld
ServerPath /sub1/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/sub1/.*) /www/subdomain$1
