(SOLVED) Steps for setting up the sub-domain feature.

[x-mod]

Can some of you advanced users please explain how to set up the sub-domain in steps. I'm using ver 3.4.2

So far I have set up the DNS wild card.

I'm running my own web server so the other steps should go easy.

I'm wanting to use for Sub-domain type "City based".

Thank you - X-MOD.

The tutorial below assumes that you are using a hosting company that has mod-rewrite enabled and has given permission to the .htaccess file. As well that the OsClass instal was placed in the user root directory "www" and not www/some folder. 

1st. Edit the config.php file and modify this

Code: [Select]

define('WEB_PATH', 'http://yourwebsite.com/');To this

Code: [Select]

define('WEB_PATH', 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'); on or close to line 25

2nd. Add the rewrite code

Code: [Select]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
To the ".htaccess" file which should be located in the same folder that OsClass is stored in. If you don't have a .htaccess file then you will need to create one.

3rd. Go to Permlinks. Admin--> Settings--> Permalinks. Tick the "Enable friendly urls" check box and hit save. At this point the page will refresh and you should see a demonstration on how to add the rewrite code to your .htaccess file but if you have followed the steps above then you should not have to modify the .htaccess file again.

4th. Choose sub-domain type in the admin--> Settings--> Advanced. Remember to enter your domain-name into the Host box below and do not put www before your domain-name.

Now go test it out and see if all works. As a suggestion, if you have chosen the sub-domain type to be city based then add that city just before your domain-name in the address bar as city will be the sub-domain e.g. phoenix.mysite.com

I am trying to find out how to configure osclass such that each user who registers can have their own custom subdomain. For example, if user Sam joins a job site myjobs.com and want to set-up an account "samsjob" - he should be able to get a subdoamin - samsjob.myjobs.com.  User can now come to samsjob.myjobs.com and post/apply for jobs.

Can't be done.

Subdomains work for Countries / Regions / Cities. Not for users.

Is there any way you can assist me please? I have done all above and when I go to a region - newyork.mysite.com, it does not load. This has been very frustrating for me trying to get this to work.

Please do not post the very same thing in multiple and OLD topics.

Use your own topic:

https://forums.osclass.org/general-help/sub-domains-for-different-regions/msg165068/#msg165068

so you (and us) can follow.

Also "doesn't load" means nothing. Use your topic above to explain better.
