controller as a subdomain

[eluser]x386[/eluser]
Is this possible to access controllers not only by site.com/controller and have something like this: controller.site.com?
Thanks!

This is about redirecting user. I hate redirecting! Though, in the CPanel I have options for it. Anyway to access controller without redirecting via subdoamin? like: controller.domain.com will be same as domain.com/controller

Thanks!

I would use mod_rewrite rules to the effect of (.*).domain.com/(.*) index.php/$1/$2

Thanks Colin! What is this mod_rewrite and how to implement it? I googled it, but I didn't find anything interesting...

It's an Apache module that lets you rewrite URI requests. I'm not sure what Google you used but my search for "mod_rewrite" returns the best resource I know of: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Also, the Router class is the ultimate controller in CI, so you could overload one or some of it's methods in your own MY_Router.php library and sniff out the subdomain before validating and routing the request

I use a sub-domain on this site http://iching.justjoolz.com and for me it was not easy to setup.
 
In my http://localhost I have a path to c:/www/iching/index.php and online I have http://iching.justjoolz.com/index.php
 

index.php - common to both sites

Code:

...
   define('LOCALHOST', 'localhost' === $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
   ...
   ...
  $system_folder = "ci_system"; // Default - ver: 1.63
  if (LOCALHOST) {
    $system_folder = "../ci_system";
  }
  
  // http://iching.justjoolz.com
  if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 'justjoolz')) {
    $system_folder = "../ci_system"; // ver: 1.63
  }
  ...
  ...
  $application_folder = 'iching'; // http://iching.justjoolz.com/iching
  if (LOCALHOST) {
    $application_folder = '../iching';
  }

  // http://iching.johns-jokes.com
  if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 'jokes')) {
    $application_folder = 'http://iching.johns-jokes.com'; // online setting
  }
  // echo '$application_folder --> '  .$application_folder ; die;
  ...
  ...

 
Needless to say my config.php was setup with trial and error, if you want a copy let me know.
