You could have a script write to the cherokee config file, but that will require restarting the web server for the changes to take affect. Or at least I am not aware that cherokee can do configuration refreshes while running. I have been looking into writing code to perform MySQL virtual hosts, but been quite busy with other things. One thing to keep in mind is that cherokee won't be able to do all of what you requesting. It will be able to handle it, but to create dynamic sub domains you will also need to get a form of dynamic DNS to handle the actual pointing of the sub domain. I am sure there are MySQL based DNS servers you can search for. I just don't know what level of control you have over your server. > > > > > ------- > > Read this topic online here: > http://www.cherokee-project.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=193#193 > > ------- > > > > > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> > <html> > <head> > <style type=3D"text/css"> > <!-- > > /* > The original subSilver Theme for phpBB version 2+ > Created by subBlue design > http://www.subBlue.com > > NOTE: These CSS definitions are stored within the main page body so that = > you can use the phpBB2 > theme administration centre.
