I need an experienced Linux/PHP/Apache network engineer to troubleshoot and fix a captive portal running on Ubuntu/Linux. Issue: - My captive portal was originally configured with hotspot.inetwall.com. - I have migrated to [login to view URL] because the ".com" domain has expired. - I updated the configuration files, but users are still being redirected to the old ".com" domain, or the captive portal still references ".com" during the login/redirect process. - I need the entire captive portal to use [login to view URL] only, with no remaining ".com" references. Environment: - Ubuntu/Linux server - Apache - PHP - Custom Megacaptive captive portal - Let's Encrypt SSL - Hospitality Wi-Fi (HSIA) Scope of Work: - Find all remaining references to "[login to view URL]". - Check Apache virtual hosts, PHP code, configuration files, DNS, iptables, and captive portal redirect logic. - Verify HTTPS certificates and virtual host configuration. - Ensure all redirects and login URLs use "[login to view URL]". - Test the complete captive portal login flow and confirm there are no references to the old ".com" domain. - Document all changes made. Required Skills: - Linux system administration - Apache, PHP, DNS, iptables - Captive portal / hotspot gateway troubleshooting - SSH remote troubleshooting experience Remote SSH access will be provided. Please apply only if you have experience troubleshooting captive portals or hospitality Wi-Fi gateways.

It sounds like there is a lingering redirect or hardcoded reference in your Apache virtual host or PHP configuration that is still pointing to the old .com domain after your migration. I have extensive experience managing Linux environments and troubleshooting server-side redirects, so I can quickly identify where the .net transition is being blocked. Over the past 15 years, I have handled numerous server migrations and complex network configurations, including working directly within Linux and Apache environments. Whether the issue is buried in a DNS setting, a hidden .htaccess rule, or a configuration file within your captive portal codebase, I have the technical background to locate and resolve the conflict without downtime. My bid for this fix is ₹6143.24, and I can have your portal fully functional within 1 day. Please share access to your server or the relevant configuration files so I can get this sorted for you immediately.

Hi there, I can help you with tracking down every remaining reference to the old .com domain in your captive portal. This kind of issue usually hides in a few places, the Apache vhost config, hardcoded URLs in the PHP code, or the redirect logic in the portal itself. I've worked with captive portals and HSIA setups before, so I know where to look and how to test the full login flow after the changes. I'm Edward and I'll document everything I touch. If you want to discuss, just drop me a message.

This involves fixing the captive portal redirect issue from ".com" to ".net" domains on an Ubuntu server, as seen in the fine-grained Apache and PHP configurations on the custom portal at hotspot.inetwall.net. I will systematically audit Apache virtual hosts, PHP scripts, DNS entries, iptables rules, and the LetsEncrypt SSL setup, similar to diagnostics performed on the hospitality Wi-Fi portal at dhillonauto.ca. After ensuring all redirects and login flows point exclusively to the new domain, I will fully document the changes. Initial diagnostics and a fix can be ready within three days. What specific redirect logic or caching mechanisms might be causing the old domain to persist in user sessions?

Migrating a captive portal domain often leaves hardcoded strings buried in database tables, PHP session handlers, or iptables redirect rules alongside Apache virtual hosts. We will audit the entire Ubuntu environment to grep all configuration files, rewrite rules, and active certificate bindings tied to the old domain. Our primary assumption is that SSH access and sudo privileges are fully configured for immediate remote diagnostics. We will systematically clean up every lingering reference and verify the complete HTTPS login flow to ensure seamless redirects. Which specific database tables store the portal configuration settings alongside the file system?

The tricky part with captive portals isn't the config files you remember to update, it's the ones you don't: iptables redirect rules, hardcoded URLs in PHP login handlers, and cached SSL certs still bound to the old domain. I'll grep the entire system for any .com references across Apache vhosts, PHP source, iptables rules, and DNS configs, then update each one and reissue your Let's Encrypt cert for the .net domain. After that, I'll walk through the full portal login flow on a test device to confirm everything resolves correctly. One thing worth checking: Megacaptive sometimes stores redirect URLs in a database rather than flat config files, so a simple file search won't catch those. 1) Do you know if the portal stores any settings in a MySQL/SQLite database? Happy to talk details in chat. Shayan

Hello, The issue likely stems from hardcoded redirects in the MySQL database or cached session data in the PHP application. I will perform a full grep search across your codebase and audit your Apache VHost and DNS records to purge the .com references. Lets chat, Dawid

Your captive portal migration is partially complete, but the redirect chain still contains references to the expired .com domain. I will trace the full authentication flow, inspect the Apache configuration, PHP application, virtual hosts, DNS settings, iptables rules, SSL setup, and redirect logic to identify every remaining reference and update everything to hotspot.inetwall.net. After the changes, I will test the complete login process to confirm there are no remaining .com references and provide a summary of the updates. Share SSH access and I will begin the investigation.
