wildcard-subdomain

My rails app is set to use subdomains as described in this RailsCast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/221-subdomains-in-rails-3 Now, I would like to add an admin subdomain to the front of my blog subdomain as follows: admin.company.lvh.me:3000 I've tried to namespace admin outside of my Subdomain constraint: namespace :admin, path: '/', constraints: { subdomain: 'admin' } do constraints(Subdomain) do match '/', to: 'blogs#show', via: 'get' end end But instead of routing through my app/controllers/admin/blogs_controller it attempts to route through my "normal user" controller (app/controllers

I'm creating a website using MVC framework (Yii) and I need to dynamically create subdomains, i.e. http://company.website.com So, in order to achieve this I've added a DNS wildcard (*.website.com). Now the problem is that my application controllers are all the same for www.website.com and for company.website.com. For example, I have a User controller with Register action ( user/register ). Now if I go to www.website.com/user/register I can register, but I can do exactly the same if I go to company.website.com/user/register . And this behaviour is the same for all my controllers. I realize

Some people are saying use an A record and others a CNAME for a catch all subdomain. Which should I use and why? It won't really matter if you CNAME or A record the *.example.com record. The one benefit to CNAME is that if you change your A record for www.example.com you won't need to change the *.example.com record as well, but that's minimal. I think question is about to understand A & CNAME records deeply. I have also found this confusing but after reading couple of blogs, I came up with following understanding: The A and CNAME records are the two common ways to map a host name (name

I don't know how else to say it so I'm just going to explain my ideal scenario and hopefully you can explain to me how to implement it... I'm creating an application with the Zend Framework that will be hosted with DreamHost. The application will be hosted on its own domain (i.e. example-app.com). Basically, a user should be able to sign up, get their own domain sampleuser.example-app.com or example-app.com/sampleuser which points to, what looks like their own instance of the app, which is really a single instance serving up different content based on the url. Eventually, I want my users to be

I have an web application that uses google api (google drive). The application is used by many clients and every client has an subdomain to access the system. So the domain is appdomain.com And for users I have foo.appdomain.com , bar.appdomain.com , etc.appdomain.com . But in google console redirect URI I have to manually put the redirect urls, is there any way I can use wildcards to redirect to make google accept any of subdomains like: *.appdomain.com ? With this I can make the google authorization calls with the user subdomain in redirect_uri: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth

I want to have this situation : if user request using this URL : example.com or www.example.com , user will see index.php in this directory /home/admin1/public_html/ but when user request using other sub domain (wildcard) for example : freediscount.example.com , user will see index.php in this path : /home/admin1/public_html/userweb/freediscount.example.com technical support on my hosting suggest me to use this method : http://www.wiredstudios.com/php-programming/setting-up-wildcard-dns-for-subdomains-on-cpanel.html based on that tutorial, the PHP has a new job... to redirect on specific

I'm working on a virtual domain system. I have a wildcard DNS set up as *.loc , and I'm trying to work on my .htaccess file. The following code works: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example\.loc$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/example/ RewriteRule (.*) /example/$1 [L,QSA] But, I want this to work with anything I put in. However, I need the %{REQUEST_URI} checked against the text found as the domain. I tried using this code: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9-]*.)?([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)\.loc$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/%3/ RewriteRule (.*) /%3/
