http://serverfault.com – In my web app, I'm toying with the idea of giving my user the opportunity to select a subdomain of their choosing, so they could select something like: foobar.myapp.com where foobar is their chosen subdomain. What is the proper way to go about setting up something like this? .htaccess? Have some api for writing virtual hosts? The application would still always map to one directory on my sever, I just want to give theme a custom URL. (HowTos)

I have a simple .htaccess file to rewrite www.domain.com/foobar.php to www.domain.com/foobar

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule foobar foobar.php [L]

It is giving me a 404 even though I ran phpinfo(); (which shows the mod_rewrite module), and checked httpd.conf (which uses mod_rewrite several times by default).

Any suggestions? Thanks.

how to virtualhost mod_rewrite mod_proxy on apache2 + tomcat - java server

I am running on tomcat server that has webapps listening on 8080

I would like to host these webapps on different domains.

I have a virtual host with a configuration like that.

When i'm trying to get into foobar.com/dir providing valid username/password pair i get 403 forbidden page instead of that directory contents.

www.foobar.com/dir has 777 rights, .httpaswd is chmoded 644. But i can't figure out why i am still not seeing contents.

Is there a best practice (for performance reasons or otherwise) for choosing between using a Virtual Host or rewrite for pointing a subdomain to a folder in the root directory?

I.e.,

www.domain.com -> public_html/domain.com/ sub.domain.com -> public_html/sub.domain.com/

The above can be accomplished by setting up two virtual hosts or by using a single virtual host and just having a rewri

Explanation

I am setting up a gaming server and I would like to run multiple servers from the same box but have them all

I have a website secured by a standard SSL certificate, securing a few different shops under different subdirectories. Ex. domain.com/shop1/ The shops are also accessible via a subdomain e.g.

I am using a subdomain as a parameter to an ASP.NET MVC 4 application. It's working well.

Now I need to test my approach, so I have the application hosted on appharbor. It works well with subdomains here too. Our DNS registers are on Rackspace, but I have no control over it. Another guy is responsible for that. So, myapp.apphb.com can be accessed through myapp.com.

I'm trying to create a cname that points from my custom domain (s.mydomain.com) to a multilevel subdomain hosted on heroku (me.myapp.herokuapp.com).

I've created the Cname s.mydomain.com with the value me.myapp.herokuapp.com.

I have a issue with Plesk to set the right path for a subdomain for a subdomain of a domain alias.

The structure I have:

domain.nl (Head domain)

*.domain.nl (wilcard subdomain) (points to: '/public_html/s') domain.com (alias for domain.nl)

It's not really possible to create a wildcard subdomain for the 'domain.com(alias of domain.nl) like I did for the '.domain.nl' wildcard subdomain.
