Domain mapping guide for dummies

I have a bought a domain on GoDaddy: mydomain.com
I have a single journal OJS 3 install hosted on my university server:
https://myjournal.myuniversity.com/ojs/ojs-3.1.1-4/index.php/myjournal/

Can I map this OJS install with my domain?
(So that my users can type mydomain.com ,
but see the website at https://myjournal.myuniversity.com/ojs/ojs-3.1.1-4/index.php/myjournal/ ,
while seeing mydomain.com in the web browser’s adresse bar.)

Why do I want to map it?
Because, without it, Google search only finds the adress of the university, not mydomain.com .

Thanks,
David

Hi @davidbenoit

Yep, this is possible. You’ll need to edit your GoDaddy DNS and point the A record for your domain at the IP address of the server hosting your journal. You’ll then need to edit the Apache server config and either create or modify the VirtualHost for your journal, and set the ServerName for that VH to your new domain name. Then set the base_url of your journal accordingly in config.inc.php.

Cheers,
