Hi,
I like to understand the purpose for each step and what needs to be done in plain English. Can you please see whether what I am writing is correct?
1. Add wild card for the domain name from the domain registrar.
*Purpose: Point all subdomains to the server and avoid undefined subdomains from resolving to the server.
*To do: Add *.example.com to the current DNS record. Making the new DNS record looks like something below:
ns1.example.com
ns2.example.com
*.example.com
2. Add server alias for the domain name.
* Purpose: Make the server recognize the subdomains.
* To do: 1) Modify the httpd.conf file, or
2) Add example.com as the parked domain via
Cpanel control panel.
3. AllowOverride modification
* Purpose: Allows the server to read .htaccess file and then control documents type. (I still don't understand what this do. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#allowoverride)
* To do: Modify "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride FileInfo" on httpd.conf.
