Snow Leopard Server with WPMU adding Wildcard (3 posts)

    Please forgive me if this is easily found somewhere in here. I have looked extensively and can't make heads or tails of some instructions. I have SLS and I am trying to add the wildcard to DNS.

    Does someone know what I need to do from square 1 for this to work? Any help would be appreciated. What do I need to do to get subdomains to work? It seems that 10.6 is a bit different than the earlier versions of OS X server.

    Thank you for any help and direction you can provide.

    I don;t use Snow Leopard so that's a guess.

    I am running a development Macbook Pro without the Snow Leopard Server software. I have Wordpress and some other test sites running with MAMP and Wordpress-MU with sub-domains running under Apple Apache2/PHP. The MAMP listens on port 8888 and the Apple Wordpress-MU has to listen on port 80. Here is how I configured it:
    ##
    # Host Database
    #
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    ##
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.0.1 phpMyAdmin # phpMyAdmin - Apple
    127.0.0.1 wpmu # WordpressMU - Apple
    127.0.0.1 user1.wpmu # WordpressMU - Apple (add more as needed)
    127.0.0.1 localhost2 # Wordpress - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost3 # bbpress - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost4 # drupal - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost5 # joomla - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost6 # YouTubeVideoBrowser (Google) - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost7 # YouTubeVideoApp (Google) - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost8 # Books Data API Browser in PHP (Google) - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost9 # osCommerce - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost10 # Calendar.php - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost11 # GoggleBaseDataApi - MAMP
    127.0.0.1 localhost12 # EBayAPI - MAMP
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost

    The Apple httpd-vhosts.conf file: (there is a different one for MAMP)

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/Users/frankindelicato/Sites"
    ServerName localhost
    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /Users/frankindelicato/Sites/phpMyAdmin
    ServerName phpMyAdmin
    </VirtualHost>

    # Wildcard domain *.wpmu must be last VirtualHost
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /Users/frankindelicato/Sites/wordpressmu
    ServerAlias *.wpmu
    ServerName wpmu
    # RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://wpmu$1
    </VirtualHost>

    In the Apple httpd.conf file:

    <Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/Users/frankindelicato/Sites">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    Options All
    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    AllowOverride All
    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Both servers can run at the same time and are addressed as follows:

    http://wpmu/ # for Wordpress-mu
    http://user1.wpmu/ # for test user1 blog

    http://localhost2:8888/ # for Wordpress blog on MAMP
    http://localhost4:8888/ # for drupal site

    of course the MAMP also has httpd.conf and (it's vhosts are in that file also) and both systems share the hosts file. Hope this helps...
