Answer 1

As long as you can configure your domain records to point both chat and profile subdomains to your server then you can change the htaccess file in your webroot folder and add..

    
      #standard cake htaccess stuff
      ...

      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^profile\.thechatfun\.com$ [NC]
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thechatfun.com/users/profile/$1 [R=301,L]

      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^chat\.thechatfun\.com$ [NC]
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thechatfun.com/chats/index/$1 [R=301,L]

    

I have this exact requirement and this works for me.
