Subdomains Configuration
From The Lyceum Wiki
By default, Lyceum structures blog urls as "directories":
http://blogs.example.com/catblog http://blogs.example.com/monkeyblog
Lyceum can also structure blog urls using subdomains:
http://catblog.blogs.example.com http://monkeyblog.blogs.example.com
Here is how to do that:
- Go through the installation instructions in Installation.txt.
- In your wp-config.php, set SUBDOMAINS to 'true'
- Set a wildcard DNS entry for your domain, using the DNS server that you use for all your other DNS entries. If you are doing it by hand, the entry will look something like this:
*.blogs.example.com. IN A 123.456.789.123
- Configure apache to have a Wildcard Subdomain via a Virtual Host. It will look something like this:
<VirtualHost *> ServerName blogs.example.com ServerAlias * ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html <Directory /var/www/html > Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>
- (optional) If you are used to having your site accessed via www.yourdomain.com then you will need to create a DNS entry that forwards the www subdomain to your main domain, otherwise Lyceum will try to display a blog by the name 'www' if someone visits that URL.
