[users@httpd] Urgent: Subdomain configuration
Hi,
I recently started working on Apache.
I want to configure a sub domain
for example i have the domain registered on my name as www.abc.com
can i configure a subdomain like blogs.abc.com?
for that i need to register for that domain or we can achieve this with
apache?
thanks in advance.

May or may not.
You can set this in DNS zone,
abc.com IN A 1.1.1.1
blog.abc.com IN A 2.2.2.2
This is not a wildcard domain.:)

Just give it a try.
if
ping abc.com
and
ping blog.abc.com
results in the same ip address, you have a wildcard domain (*.abc.com).

Do you mean you can't control your domain's DNS? That's not good I think.
If you don't know the special domain names,you don't have the
condition to set virtual hosts.
Maybe you can get the request domains by programming,via the http HOST header.

The best way is setting up your own DNS Server.

yep that is right.. how can we achieve subdomains if ISP is holding the
DNS?
no way other than requesting them for subdomain and pay them?

An interesting well written page but note the following quote from it:
"Of course, you can't just make up names and place them in ServerName
or ServerAlias. You must first have your DNS server properly
configured to map those names to an IP address associated with your
server."
I am not a DNS expert but I suspect many DNSs have to explicitly list
each sub-hostname however it is clear from
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4592.txt that there is no reason why a DNS
cannot be set to eg:
*.hostname.com
Can anybody say if DNSs operated by ISPs normally default to this?
Clearly it would save much unnecessary work with minimal additional
security issues.

Yes Apache can do it easily.You need a name-based virtual host.Given
your apache is 2.0 version,you could see this document:
