lighttpd subdomains

# How to install this:
#
# 1) As root, save this text document as
#    /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/20-subs.conf
#
# 2) As root:   service lighttpd restart
#
# 3) Make a directory called .site in /var/www
#
# 4) Create subdomain directories inside /var/www/.site
#    (for example /var/www/.site/javs)



# enable the dynamic subdomain feature
server.modules += ( "mod_evhost" )
evhost.path-pattern = "/var/www"

# this blocks the .site folder from being accessed directly
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/.site" {
    url.access-deny = ("")
}

# and this enables stuff like subdomain.yourdomain.tld
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^[a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+\.yourdomain.tld$" {
    evhost.path-pattern = "/var/www/.site/%3/"
}
