Question

How to set dynamic subdomain cross server or in DNS setting

Answer 1

A:

Have the same wish, but had to do HTTP 301 redirect from my domain hosting to an appengine site. It works normally, but it's required to have a working hosting, but not only domain parking. So please try to edit ".htaccess" file, which must be in the root of site hosting, with

Redirect 301 / http://anydomain.com/any

If we use redirect the url address will change from abc.did5.com to www.did5.com/abc right ?

Using redirect you do not just changing url-string in a browser you change requsted page server, so you can redirect to any web page in the Internet. So you can redirect from "abc.did5.com to www.did5.com/abc" this way. If you need redirecting rules like somesubdomains.did5.com to did5.com/somesubdomains then i think you need to create redirection for every subdomain separately, but using one host for .htaccess.

but i don't want url in format www.did5.com/abc , I want abc.did5.com

Answer 2

A:

Unfortunately, App Engine doesn't currently support 'wildcard' CNAMEs. You have to specifically CNAME each domain that you want to use and configure it in the control panel. The only way to do what you want, currently, would be to host your own reverse proxy.

Answer 3

A:

Thank you very much Nick Johnson

but I don't have my own host, where can I find paid host that provide reverse proxy service ?

and how about

Virtual Host h++p://www.akadia.com/services/dns_wildcard.html

========================= I can try this and it work on my machine

/sbin/service httpd start

edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ... RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+).testdid5.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.did5.com/%1 [P,L] ...

I'm not really in a position to make recommendations for hosts that will do reverse proxying. I'm sure a search will turn some up. Bear in mnid, though, that that requires routing all requests via your one server, which basically discards most of the advantages of the distributed nature of App Engine.
