Hi there,

I’m working on a website with blog, the client would like the blog’s address to be blog.domain.com rather than domain.com/blog

Is it possible to set up a channel that is a subdomain rather than a folder? Unfortunately a simple redirect of blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog isn’t good enough.

I believe this is possible with MSM, but it’s all under the same site and if possible, we’d like to keep it to one install.

Thanks,
Colin

I’ve never done that but there are a couple of Wiki entries that may provide some clues…

Colin,

your best bet would be to start at those Wiki guides as Rob helpfully has found.

The issue is that EE is dynamic so all your dynamic URL tags, variables etc are based on your primary install domain. This is where your main contention will be

Thanks guys, I’ll give this a try and see if it works for me.

Good stuff 😊 I’ll close this for now. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
