I have a rails application running on an addon domain and it uses subdomains to key parts of the application. We will also be running a static/php website under the same domain and we'd like to have http://www.domain.com & http://domain.com point to this static website and have all the rest of the subdomains route to the app, like it does now. How would I do this routing? Is it possible? Thanks

Hi,

You want the main domain to have the static/php site and the addon domain to have the rails application right? It that case it will work fine.

Well, no. We want to have the static/php site at http://www.domain.com' and http://domain.com' and have all of the sub-domains of the same domain route to the application, like http://sub.domain.com'. Both of these cases will use the same domain, either the main domain or an addon. Does this make sense?

You would setup a rewrite rule so that all subdomains get captured into a parameter that you could pass to an action
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^(.+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) /controller/action/%1/$1 [L]
the $1 would be the URL string so you could pass that along as well.
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^(.+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) /controller/action/%1/$1 [L]
