in my config. I map an IP to an application that serves an undefined amount of sites. I create one IIS site, filtering on just IP address.
All domains mapped to that IP address are processed by the same application.cfm, index.cfm page. In the application.cfm I parse the http_host (not sure when and where it is included in the browser information there is a legacy browser issue with this technique but it is possible to work around.) and from that information I generate the particular site. I control everything on the site - so it is easy for me - but - if I was to allow them to publish their own HTML pages - well hmmm. i have crazy notions on how to make it work - but I guessing you can do something straight forward which is simpler. Summary. If you have a limited number of subdomains - just create a new website for each (virtual domain). If you want to automatically generate subdomains for a huge amount of subdomains - then IMO you are better off creating one site engine that parses the domain for content to include.

Are the sites being accessed as www.domain.com, www.sub1.domain.com etc, with each subdomain is in its own directory, if that is the question - then virtual hosts are the way, no? Ian "I have a site using subdomains, with each subdomain in it's own subdirectory. The main domain is in it's own dir as well. Is there a way to make the URL show up as www.domain.com rather than www.domain.com/domain?" -----Original Message----- From: Philip Arnold - ASP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 June 2002 16:44 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Disguising the URL > Eh? > > Apache - Virtualhost directive in httpd.conf > IIS - create a virtual site and point it at whatever dir you like... > > Or am I missing some vital piece of info? :-) Form the way I read the original request, he wanted anyone who typed in www.domain.com/domain to only see www.domain.com in the URL, keeping www.domain.com as a separate entity as well How can you do this with virtual sites?
