SubDomains and a RAQ4

External Since: Aug 31, 2003 Posts: 3

Another sub-domain question.

This may not be the proper place, but I can't seem to get an answer from Sun
on this.

I have a Cobalt Raq 4 with all current patches, but default installs of
software.

I want to create subdomains that are controlled by one login. I am use to
using something like Cpanel that creates the sub domain and allows it to be
administered by the same user and the main domain.

Right now, the Raq creates a Virtual site/host like www.domain.com and then
the user directories are www.domain.com/~user.

I want to create a sub-domain like: subdomain.domain.com and have it point
to the www.domain.com/~user directory.

I have read through the Docs on Apache on Virtual Hosts, I have added a sub
domain entry pointing to my name servers for the sub, and I THOUGHT I did
the virtual host change in httpd.conf file correctly, but when I restarted
httpd, it didn't come up Sad

Any insight on the Raq4 and sub domains would be greatly appeciated.

First of all, does subdomain.domain.com resolv into your server's IP?
Domains and subdomains must be configured first in a DNS server.

Examples:

alvaro@linux1: ~ $ host <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.lycos.com" target="_blank">ftp.lycos.com</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.lycos.com" target="_blank">ftp.lycos.com</a> has address 209.67.228.129
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.lycos.com" target="_blank">ftp.lycos.com</a> has address 207.82.58.14

alvaro@linux1: ~ $ host <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.yahoo.com" target="_blank">ftp.yahoo.com</a>
Host <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.yahoo.com" target="_blank">ftp.yahoo.com</a> not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.lycos.com" target="_blank">ftp.lycos.com</a> is a usable subdomain, <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ftp.yahoo.com" target="_blank">ftp.yahoo.com</a> is not.
