Wildcard subdomains

[royli57]

Hi everyone

I did a search for wildcard subdomains but did not find anything that answers my question.

I want to set up wildcard subdomains that all resolve to my server. I have a blog program that will generate blogs in the format "blogname.mydomain.com." I have edited the DNS zone for that domain to look like: "* 1440 in A {myip}."

I have read that I also need to modify the httpd.conf file for it to work. If this is the case, what do I put into the httpd.conf file and how do I edit it? Can I just stick the code in .htaccess files instead?

thanks for the help.

Roy

Hi Roy -

You need to add this to the ServerAlias directive under the VirtualHost container for the domain in question:

*.domain.com

Then restart apache - either from within WHM or from the command line:

/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
