Wildcard Subservers ?

Hello,

I have read that LWS is comparable to Zeus Webserver, however I was wondering if the following feature is available.

In Zeus it is called Subservers , you can even do wildcard Subservers by simply throwing in Dirs with Domain Names into your homedir.

i.e. you login via ftp and create

sub.domain.com - which is instant available to the outside world via http/https.

you also have a default webserver which is used as fallback i.e. domain.com , in my test scenario i am also creating *.domain.com symlinks to the default domain.com dir so all requests end up in that dir.

does this work in LWS or is it planned at all ?

second , is it possible to run php5 via fastcgi in order to loadbalance the php processes among several machines ?

thanks in advance.

 

LSWS does not have a dedicated feature like the one you described, however, it should be pretty easy to implement this kind of feature with simple URL rewrite rules. No plan for a dedicate implementation yet.

For your second question, LSWS can be configured to access remote FCGI App on other machine, there is a stateless load balancer implemented in LSWS now.

 

do you have any example url rewrites for that ?

thanks.

 

Some thing like:

Code:

RewriteCond  /your/home/dir/%{HTTP_HOST}     -d
RewriteRule   ^(.+)                          /your/home/dir/%{HTTP_HOST}$1
