subdomains

[Anon]

does anyone knows how to make subdomains on a win9x machine with apache and php.

so you can have a domain called http://localhost/ and
http://php.localhost/

Hi!

:-)

you need a domain server (DNS server)

use a NT server with DNS server or a Linux

You can't make on Win98 subdomains!!!!

sorry! :-(

Yes you can run subdomains using windows 98 you use the hosts file in place of DNS.

You can edit the hosts file (windows/system directory)

Normally you will see a line
127.0.0.1 localhost

Just add another line :-
127.0.0.1 php.localhost

Then you will need to set apache up to use virtual hosts. In the default httpd.conf line 800 (ish) you will see few virtual host lines commented out. I created a directory c:\www\php and use the following lines :-

<VirtualHost php.localhost>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/www/php"
ServerName php.localhost
ErrorLog logs/php_localhost
CustomLog logs/php_localhost common
</VirtualHost>

Then restart apache and http://php.localhost/ will point to c:\www\php

Its default Apache stuff once the hosts file has been changed. This works on windows 9x and winNT/2k
