Subdomains and the lack thereof

[Toasty]

I've noticed that if I omit the "www" in www.domain.com, i.e. domain.com is in the address bar, it will show up as if the server isn't responding.

So I have to make a default script redirect anything to the new site...

Example:

The server domain is listed as:
*.youn00b.com

I type:
http://www.youn00b.com in the address bar, all is fine.

But, if I type:
http://youn00b.com it doesn't redirect.

So I wrote a script to redirect based on HTTP_HOST (or whatever it was) to fix this issue. How would I go about making it so it accepts any subdomain that points to the site?

The easiest thing to do is just set the domain for Abyss to listen on to a wildcard (*). The problem with if you put *.domain.com is that it will accept any subdomain of domain.com but not just domain.com. You could try *domain.com if you don't want just a wildcard, I think it would work.

I assume you're using X1, but if you're using X2 you can set domain.com in addition to *.domain.com for the host names to listen on. I use that option (I have X2).

So that covers everything except http://domain.com?

That'll work, I wasn't sure if it had certain exceptions (besides no subdomain).

Thanks.

Use *domain.com

Notice no '.' after the *, this means anything before it will work, even if it exists or not. So www. forum. somethingelse. or just no sub-domain before it.

Assuming you have X2...

Go to the console and click on the host you're working with.

In the host names table, have these two listed:
domain.com
*.domain.com

That should accomplish what you're trying to do -- make your site accessible.
