Wildcard subdomains, the easy way :)

[XoK]

Hi all,

This is a small tutorial about doing it

Add the following in DNS (or add it in the default template, as you wish):

*.domain.tld. A vps_id_address



And the best part is the following!

Access by SSH and type the comand (1 line only),
it replaces "ServerAlias www." with "ServerAlias *." on every website config file of .com's, in the VPS!

find /var/www/vhosts/*.com -iname httpd.include -type f -exec sed -i 's/ServerAlias  www./ServerAlias  *./' {} \;

I love being lazy

It will work for Plesk VPS only. For other control panels, the path needs to be modified.

Hrm... Extrapolating...

Are you hinting that wildcard subdomains work with Plesk, Mr. Smith, without modification?

[AlexKall]

It works with the modification of the first post, that's what Smith is refering to I think.

"/var/www/vhosts/" is the address for Plesk virtual host files.

I see...

Hello,

Thanks for pointing that!

I am moving sites to a VPS, and that instruction is giving me less work
I had to edit many files to do that...

I searched a lot to learn how to to do that in a single command!

I am a complete "noob" in Linux and SSH
