Subdomain setup

I need to set-up up some subdomains in ezp and I'm not sure how to do it.

I have several sites based on /foldername

ie domain.com/site1; domain.com/site2

I want to set up

site1.domain.com -- > domain.com/site1
site2.domain.com -- > domain.com/site2

I assume that this is possible but I can't find anything on the forums about it.

Thanks in advanced.

thanks Kristof but I don't want to map the subdomains to siteaccess.

I only have one public site access.
I want to map them to locations within that access.

Maybe my description was confusing. Maybe this is better

folder1.domain.com -- > domain.com/folder1
folder2.domain.com -- > domain.com/folder2

I think you are talking about url redirection, and that can be made with mod_rewrite in apache.
You can find more info at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

also, as Kristof said, you can use HostMatchType rule like this

Regexp matching

HostMatchType=regexp
HostMatchRegexp=^(.+)\.example\.com
HostMatchRegexpItem=1

This regexp setup uses the regular expression ^(.+)\.example\.com to match anything in front of .example.com. The first match is set up to hold the siteaccess. E.g the hostname test.example.com yields the siteaccess test.

from: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/siteaccesssettings/hostmatchtype

obviously you need to setup your webserver to accept requests for site1.domain.com and so on.

hope this helps!

Thanks,

Normally in apache config you can do something like

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName subdomain.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/htdocs/subdomain/
</VirtualHost>

How do I achieve this in ezp?

I only have one site access.

domain/siteacces/folder
domain/siteaccess/folder 2

I want my sub domains to point to different folders.

Am I making sense yet?

I really appreciate your time.

Thanks again.
