trq Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 The easiest way to do this is within your virtual-host config. See [url=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#serveralias]ServerAlias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think its easier, yet have no idea how to do it? That makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Your host needs to allow wildcard DNS first, and it must be activated on your domain. then you can do this with .htaccess redirect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 For Apache 2.0.x - at least - the context for ServerAlias is VirtualHost and the Context for VirtualHost is the server config file so you might be a bit stuck with .htaccess on this one. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#virtualhost http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#serveralias If you had access to the main server config file then you'd be able to do this PDQ, however as you're sticking with .htaccess I'd hazard a guess you're on a hosted account where, for very good reasons, your server admin would want to have full control the hows and whys of his/her client's use of virtual hosts. I think you will need to speak to your host webmaster unless you have a lot of time to amuse yourself trying to find more long-winded ways round this.

belick Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I know that I can do it through the cpanel on my server but I need to create a host for every city in the US... so I need somthing easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Wildcard subdomains would, potentially cover everything in the known universe which could be described in the RFC domain name format. Can't see what the problem is. As originally stated the request appears to be nothing more than a request for wildcard redirection to one single domain. My guess there's a deeper level of unspoken requirements here. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
