[users@httpd] Subdomains just by creating a directory?
Hello everyone,
is it possible to configure Apache2 to serve the contents of a
directory, in a way so the first level of the structure serves as the
name of a subdomain?
For example:
foo.myhost.mydomain --> /var/www/foo/
bar.myhost.mydomain --> /var/www/bar/
bar.myhost.mydomain/path/ --> /var/www/bar/path/
I know I can do that with multiple VirtualHost configuration elements,
but I'd like to add new subdomains just by creating a directory.
Regards,
Andreas

I have always used wildcards (see mass-virtual hosting in the apache docs).
Never failed.

This is what mod_vhost_alias does.
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%1
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html
