[NTLUG:Discuss] add a subdomain from web page

[Paul Ingendorf]

The following I think is what you are looking for.

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAlias anotherdomain.on.maindomain.com
        ServerName SUBMAIN.on.maindomain.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster at test.com
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log.redirect
        RewriteLogLevel 1
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}      !^test123.test.com$
        RewriteRule ^/(.*)              http://test123.test.com/$1 [L,R]
</VirtualHost>

> I am thinking that I have to do those steps:

> 1. Wildcard DNS entry for this domain in the DNS server.

> change:
> www IN A 123.123.123.123
> 
> to or replace with:
> * IN A 123.123.123.123

> 2. open http.conf file add

> <VirtualHost *:80>
>    UseCanonicalName off
>    VirtualDocumentRoot /www/%0
>    VirtualScriptAlias /www/%0/cgi-bin
> </VirtualHost>
> 
> 3. create a web page, have 2 text fields asking for subdomain name and
> redirect url.
> 
> 4 create a subdirectory under /www/ with the subdomain name and create
> a .access file with redirect url in it.
> 
> are these steps right?
> step 1.2 is an one-time deal, step 3. can use html page to achieve it.
> how do I do on step 4? use perl and cgi to make it?
> 
> any one have better idea or give some example to achieve it?
