single user base across multple domains

[Ares2907]

Hello all,
Did some searching, but didn't find a specific answer to the following.


I want to split my blog across multiple subdomains, whilst retaining a single user base between all of them. Is this possible through a vanilla configuration of serendipity? I've no hassle setting up multiple virtual hosts etc, I just want users to be shared between them.

Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Hi!

s9y can run listening on multiple vhosts, yes. You can use teh config option "auto-detect http-hosts" for that. The only prerequisite is that you don't run s9y in different paths.

HTH,
Garvin

Thanks for the reply. I should have been more specific with my question.

How about if I want specific categories to exist at certain subdomains?

eg.,

blog.mydomain.com <--base blog
tech.mydomain.com <--tech category
entertainment.mydomain.com <--entertainment category


Ideally, what I want is to have main categories as subdomains, with subcategories acting as per a normal blog, with a single user-base for all of them.

I've had the same problem, you can solve it with dns configuration.

blog.mydomain.com --> www.mydomain.com/index.php?/categories/1-Blog
tech.mydomain.com --> www.mydomain.com/index.php?/categories/2-Tech
........................

all you need to do is to set up multiple categories.

Good luck
Arnold
