wildcard subdomains

[eMark]

Hi,

Is it possible to config wildcard subdomains (*.domain_name.com) on a shared ip address.

It works for domains on ded ip's by creating an "A" record for the ded ip but I need it for a bunch of domains on shared ip's.

Thanks!

I think I've done this before by just having a record for * in the DNS zone file.

Not positive, though. Might give it a shot.

First ad another input like www in your dns, but replace www with *

Then edit the hostname in apache like this:

<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerAdmin webmaster@ismean.com
DocumentRoot /home/ismeanco/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/ismean.com-bytes_log
User ismeanco
Group ismeanco
ServerName www.ismean.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/ismeanco/public_html/cgi-bin/
ServerAlias *.ismean.com
CustomLog domlogs/ismean.com combined
</VirtualHost>

Good luck :]

It's just going to the root site. Which is just a white page, instead of the site it is support to go to.

Set it up with a cname in whm.
Added it to httpd.conf

Any ideas

Actually if the apache config file is edited as above and the dns is like the sample I attached to the post it should be fine.

Maybe double check the dns settings with the pic I attached.

it should eb fine is everything is matched
