Hello everybody !

I wanna add a subdomain to my website and point it in a directory example

mywebsite.com

files.website.com < how to do this in lighttpd and dns configuration ?

I have this now in my lighttpd configuration file :

Code:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)website\.com$"

Thanks.

Do you have DNS configured properly to point to lighttpd IP? If so use it as follows:

Code:

$HTTP["host"]  == "files.website.com"{
        server.document-root = "/path/to/files.website.com/http"
        accesslog.filename         = "/var/log/lighttpd/files.website.com/access.log"
}

Thanks for your reply nixcraft !

The DNS are OK i have configured

Code:

files.website.com    IP  A ( ADRESS )

And i have added your code into my lighttpd.conf

but when i type in my navigator the adress

files.website.com , i'm redirected into my forum !

please be aware that i use vbseo + vbulletin like you there , this my lighttpd.conf

Code:

##VHOST



$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)site\.com$" {
server.document-root = "/home/site.com/public_html"
server.errorlog = "/home/lighttpd/site.com/error.log"
accesslog.filename = "/home/lighttpd/site.com/access.log"




url.rewrite-once = (
"^/forum/(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$" => "/forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1",
"^(/forum/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|customavatars|styles|smiley)/.*)$" => "$1",
"^(/site\.ico|/robots\.txt|.*clear\.gif)$" => "$1",
"^/forum/(.+)\?(.*)$" => "/forum/vbseo.php?$2",
"^/forum/(.+)$" => "/forum/vbseo.php",

)

$HTTP["host"]  == "files.site.com"{
        server.document-root = "/home/site.com/public_html/files"
      
}
}

For files.site.com set server.document-root outside original /home/site.com/public_html i.e. set it as follows:

Code:

   server.document-root = "/home/files.site.com/public_html"
