subdomain

Currently, user profiles are in the format of website.com/username which is fine. However, some heavier users wish to use custom domain names. This is similar to Tumblr. Users are given a subdomain of username.tumblr.com but they are allowed to use an external domain which gets mapped to the subdomain. How do I go about this in PHP? Allowing users to use custom domain names? Thanks so much in advance for the help! camilo_u You can use the following examples: Basic PHP: How to let PHP to create subdomain automatically for each user?

I am trying to build an API and I am concerned that all my resources will either not be accessible with the api.myapp.com domain or that they will "live" with the wrong uris. I have added the CNAME for my domain name to point to my Heroku app. (ex: browsing to www.myapp.com takes you to https://myherokuapp.heroku.com ) I would like to set up an API subdomain, so that a GET to https://api.myapp.com takes you to https://myherokuapp.heroku.com/api/v1 The best scenario would be that a POST to https://api.myapp.com/accounts/12345 would create a new account. Is that even possible? (I know that

I have a website on www.example.com and use Google Analytics. I've also set up static.example.com which serves all static content. The problem is that the default behavior of GA is to issue cookies on ".example.com" but I don't want the static content traffic to be carrying the weight the GA cookies. I tried pageTracker._setDomainName("none"); and it worked well for the cookies problem but it completely messed up the "Avg. Time on Site" report (from 5 mins average it went to 40 mins until the day I reverted the _setDomainName call). Any idea why this is happening and how could I fix it? The

Is it possible to for a domain e.g. www.myclient.com to have a sub directory hosted on a completly different (our) server? They don't want to point subdomain.myclient.com to our servers so they want it as folder www.myclient/subdomain/ Thanks in advance. As discussed in the comments, your only option is a Proxy. Everything else (Like mod_rewrite / Alias) will do a header redirect, and expose the target address to the user. However, Apache's proxying doesn't seem to be that complicated. The most basic example is ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://backend.example.com/ Note that a proxy will of course

I've read a lot of questions and answers about this on here but none that seem to solve my specific problem. I want to redirect any subdomain to the subdirectory to match. So: x.domain.com would go to domain.com/x, and y.domain.com would go to domain.com/y - But I want to do this without the URL in the address bar changing. Here's what I have so far: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^ /%1 [P,L] But this takes me to a website redirect loop, with an incorrect address in the

I'm very new to nginx, so forgive me if my explanations are off. I'll do my best to explain what I am trying to achieve. Using WordPress and nginx, I would like user accounts to be mapped to a subdomain of the main domain. For example, if the user creates an account called "sample", the subdomain for that user would be sample.example.com . When the user goes to sample.example.com , the subdomain should be mapped to example.com/sample/ . Similarly, if a user visits sample.example.com/account/ , it should map to example.com/sample/account/ , and so on and so forth. It should be noted that the
