Hi there,

I’ve been reading up on the CodeIgniter wiki for the past few weeks now and am really excited to start my first CI project. However I’m having trouble planning one element of my project and I’m not 100% sure it’s possible so I’ll do my best to explain it and hopefully the CodeIgniter community can help me out 😊.

Basically I have a subdomain lets say - abc.example.com and a seperate domain - test.com. I need to point test.com to the abc.example.com directory. So for example if I went to test.com/about/ it would load abc.example.com/about/ but the url in the users browser would still be test.com/about/.

I realise this is a really bad explanation but hopefully you get the idea.

Thanks

Mike

You just point the two domains to the same server and use name based virtual hosts (if you’re using apache).

Here’s something to get you started:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName abc.example.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/codeigniter
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName test.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/codeigniter
</VirtualHost>

You can do more reading on apache vhosts here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

That’s a big help. Thanks Sean!
