I need to use abyss to run a few sub domains (I think that's what we call them now).
Like so:
this.mysite.com
that.mysite.com
theother.mysite.com
Can I do this with the free version or do I need to purchase?

This would fall under virtual hosting to my knowledge which is only supported in the professional version. http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/summary.html You may also want to read under "Assigning two or more domain names to a virtual host": http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/articles/x2-hosts.html

Yes, for virtual hosting you need the professional version.. but lets be honest.. you don't need it if you only want multiple subdomains.

You can easily use URL Rewriting to do this.

Type: Global
Virtual Path Regular Expression: ^/(.*)
Conditions: SERVER_NAME Matches with ^something\.mydomain\.com
(checked) Apply to subrequests too
If this rule matches: Perform an internal redirection
Redirect to: /mystuff/$1
(not checked) Append Query String
(not checked) Escape Redirection Location
Next Action: Stop matching

Every time someone accesses something.mydomain.com, it will do an internal redirection to the folder /mystuff/ ... Because the redirection is internal, it won't affect the url..

The only reason why I bought the professional version in the end is because:
A. I wanted SSL support. (Requires multiple host support.)
B. I wanted multiple PHP setups so that each PHP application has its own working directory. (This also requires multiple host support.) Using the method above is not good if you plan on giving ftp access to others.. They can really do some nasty damage to your website with php.


If you don't need SSL and do not plan on giving out web access, by all means go ahead and use url rewriting.

iamthegang,

Have you tested your suggestion? The free version X1 gives no access to SERVER_NAME in URL rewriting.
