Mod_rewrite subdomain capabilities?

Just asking for some insight.

Administrators Thanked: 9 times	It is completely possible. I used to work with lombi back in the day and did a similar thing (long before cot_url). this was done by wildcarding the domain so mod rewrite handled any/all domains and via php would redirect out of needed. Likely you cant get a wildcard and if for just forums you shouldn't need it. You should beable to rewrite "forums" to forums.example.com just fine, depending on your setup you could either just symlink the folder to the core of cotonti. Or you should beable to mod_rewrite it to the url/path of the other. But yes it should be completely possible. I just have nothing offhand from a working example to provide you to do it.
