Better ServerAlias? for subdomains, for systems running more than one subdomain. (before, * would capture ALL incoming domain requests)

Line 
1 By default, Lyceum structures blog urls as "directories":
2
3    http://blogs.example.com/catblog
4    http://blogs.example.com/monkeyblog
5
6 Lyceum can also structure blog urls using subdomains:
7
8    http://catblog.blogs.example.com/
9    http://monkeyblog.blogs.example.com/
10
11 Here is how to do that:
12
13 1] Go through the installation instructions in Installation.txt.
14
15 2] In your wp-config.php, set SUBDOMAINS to 'true'
16
17 3] Set a wildcard DNS entry for your domain, using the DNS server that you use for all your other DNS entries. If you are doing it by hand, the entry will look something like this:
18
19 *.blogs.example.com. IN A  123.456.789.123
20
21 4] Configure apache to have a Wildcard Subdomain Virtual Host (I just made up that term). It will look something like this:
22
23 <VirtualHost *>
24    ServerName blogs.example.com
25    ServerAlias *.blogs.example.com
26
27    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
28    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
29
30    <Directory /var/www/html >
31       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
32       AllowOverride All
33       Order allow,deny
34       allow from all
35    </Directory>
36 </VirtualHost>
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the browser.
