You could run everything through one page a la fusebox, but you'd be left with www.domain.com/index.cfm and then whatever url vars you need, not as tidy as the frames way -Original Message- From: Philip Arnold - ASP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 June 2002 15:52 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Disguising the URL I have a site using subdomains, with each subdomain in it's own subdirectory.

RE: Disguising the URL
I randomly cut'n'paste some code that might help. I use similar code to determine the site to display based on URL. Not sure if this helps. (I have a create site engine - that allows the user to map URLs to their content. one website on IIS - that is dynamically generated based on the URL.) What web server are you using? You could create a separate website for each subdomain. mindless thoughts It might be easiest to create a switch in the site root that checks for which folder to display - using the http_host variable. I should read the rest of the threads... but here is some code anyway(in application.cfm): cfset site = CGI.HTTP_HOST cfquery name=SiteDetails datasource=dsn SELECT Site.SiteID, Site.Name, Site.Description, Site.ConfigurationWDDX, xrSiteURL.SiteURL FROM Site INNER JOIN xrSiteURL ON Site.SiteID = xrSiteURL.SiteID where xrSiteURL.SiteURL = '#site#' /cfquery HTH Eric From: Philip Arnold - ASP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Disguising the URL Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2002 15:51:31 +0100 I have a site using subdomains, with each subdomain in it's own subdirectory.

RE: Disguising the URL
in my config. I map an IP to an application that serves an undefined amount of sites. I create one IIS site, filtering on just IP address. All domains mapped to that IP address are processed by the same application.cfm, index.cfm page. In the application.cfm I parse the http_host (not sure when and where it is included in the browser information there is a legacy browser issue with this technique but it is possible to work around.) and from that information I generate the particular site. I control everything on the site - so it is easy for me - but - if I was to allow them to publish their own HTML pages - well hmmm. i have crazy notions on how to make it work - but I guessing you can do something straight forward which is simpler. Summary. If you have a limited number of subdomains - just create a new website for each (virtual domain). If you want to automatically generate subdomains for a huge amount of subdomains - then IMO you are better off creating one site engine that parses the domain for content to include.

RE: Disguising the URL
you could map all domains and subdomains to the website. in the root page - check for domain and redirect to the appropriate folder. www.domain.com www.sub1.domain.com/sub1/ www.sub2.domain.com/sub2/ ie if you request www.sub1.domain.com/pageA.cfm the root application.cfm catches the subdomain and redirects to www.sub1.domain.com/sub1/pageA.html (I remember some systems like this a couple years back). If the browser you are using does not include the http_host information. www.sub1.domain.com/sub1/pageA.html still works. but your 404 page might have a list of available subdomains.
